the hunt for crustaceans
Yesterday, the day was spent at Mandurah with a group of 7 others. It was organised weeks beforehand and promised to be a day full of fun and friends and food! Mandurah is approximately 74kms south of Perth and is a popular spot for fishing and crabbing. We armed ourselves with crab scoops, drop nets, fishing rods, old shoes, a change of clothes, eskies, drinks and snacks and embarked on our little adventure in 2 CRVs, filled with expectations and looking forward to dinner somewhat like this:
Little did we know, the crabs were in hiding. We went to 3 different spots, caught 2 undersized crabs, returned them to the water, and trekked home empty handed. We didn't even catch any fish!
It was rather eventful but fruitless. I was rather disappointed. I was looking forward to having some crab. =(
Oh well. Maybe we'll try again in a week or two. Maybe we were just at the wrong spot.
If anyone knows some good fishing/crabbing spots in Mandurah, PLEASE let me know!!
