Hit the water at lunch today to check a few holes. There were no pro pots anywhere in the area, so i was a bit pessimistic about our chances
Found quiet a few kittens and only managed to scrape up one legal cray out of about 20 seen.
I dived down on one crack and pulled out a legal cray, another breath and then back down again only to find a big mother of an eel in the crack. Next dive down all i could see in the hole was sand and grit flying everywhere. My mate then dived down only to find all the crays gone excpet one, which was lying on his back, bleeding, with a big chunk bitten out of him by the eel.
the viz was okay in parts and quiet good in others. A bit of bait - yellowtail, bulls eys etc. SOme good size black drummer and a few luderick in the wash. It's amazing how docile these fish are when you are diving without your gun.
Thursday is going to flatten out again so we might hit a few different spots. It appears that a few crays have come in on this months new moon, so might as well try and get some before they all end up in cray traps (or eels stomachs).
