Well if it isn't Thursday again.. seems like all my posts are done on a Thursday for some reason..
Anyways last weekend Angie, Naro, Dee and I went down to Rye/Sorrento for a day trip, our mission: catch crabs! and nooo not the crabs u get wen u visit the corners of st kilda the crabs that have claws and u cook and eat!
it was actually quite exciting, as we were only in Rye about 4 months ago.. i never thought we'd travel up for just the day. We woke up at 5am and set off on our trip, stopping off at maccas for breakfast we arrived at Rye around 7:45am
with out basket nets in one hand and an esky in the other we walked down to Rye Pier and set up shop. We saw several crabs however only eventually caught one... but it died. SOMEBODY put it in the esky and sealed the lid shut.. and being a 30 degree day.. it steamed inside.
Tomorrow after work we are trying our luck again.. this time leaving straight after work to a place called Inverloch or something... and we will begin at 2am when it's dark.
Apparently from what friends tell us.. Inverloch is the place to be.. as the crabs get washed ashore with the waves, so we can just run out and pick them up... again it sounds too good to be true, but if it is.. i'll invite all you guys round my place for a crab feast..
even if they are not on the shore, we have done some research into crabbing techniques (sad i know) but i was so shattered coming home empty handed...
will keep u posted!
hopefully we can take some pix too.. till next time!
the future is unwritten
