Day 9 in Denham, we were able to get out at Monkey Mia to crab. We've had a couple of days of big wind and rain and haven't been able to do anything, so it was lovely. Denham has had as much rain in 3 months as they'd had in the 3 years previous, so it's looking great.
Fishing for bait, and then crabbing, was slow ( 5 crabs in 3 hours), but just as we decided to head for home with enough crabs for our dinner (crustless crab quiche) we pulled the pots up and caught 6 crabs out of 7 pots (lost one pot to someone running over the line). We caught 3 small sharks in the pots today, and had a dolphin and calf come visit us for a very short while.
Our neighbours Ron, Carmel and Craig were happy to get 6 nice big cooked crabs tonight!

- In Feb 2006 husband Russ and I headed away in a caravan with our boat on top of the 4WD. We were gone for over three wonderful years. Now we're home, living in Warrnambool, but spend the colder months away fishing. This latest blog is a trip up through the centre, across to Broome, down to Perth and home through SA. We'll be fishing, crabbing and squidding all the way!
