My good bro Jonny down in Perth

After drooling at the pictures of the crabs I caught for a few weeks, Jonny is finally here to get em!

n fiiiiiiinally, the three of us can hang out again.

When we reached Woodman point (after like freaking 45 minutes drive with a car full of near-bursting bladders), the freaking jetty was full of crab nets, we couldn't even get a decent spot (we reached at 6pm btw).

So in our nets went and we waited........ and waited.......... and waited........... and pulled up empty nets....... after empty nets....... after empty nets........

OMG is this trip going to turn into a disaster?! Afterall, the people beside us already had 18!

So the clock ticked.. and it was already 9pm... and we still had nothing.. until Jonny saw two crabs having sex mating, and threw the net down and caught them hoorah!!! (Plus, that was the biggest crab we caught that night)

So after we couldn't take it anymore and Jess asked those guys (we know each other from previous crabbing sessions) to spare us some fish heads and fish frames for bait (we were using chicken wings and mutton but last time I caught 22 using those what?!)

As soon as the bait went down the crabs came up! And after they left they gave us all their bait how cool is that?! In the end we caught 14 crabs (pretty sure someone stole 2 of them, I counted 16), with one pull bringing up 3 crabs! and another bringing up an octopus... but we released it cause of Jess!!!! Grrrr.....

On the other end of the jetty, Jonny was busy fishing and making friends. In the end he caught a few yellowtails, a sardine and a baby barracuda.

We took quite a bit of pictures but it was on Jess's cam so we've gotta develop them first.

Here's Jonny's big crab





Our total catch



Nothing better than fresh crabs on a barbeque.



The three of us again finally..

Woodman point



Woodman point is the shopping center of all jetties.



I mean, look at the amount of people! It's like theres a free gift going on or something. Not surprisingly also because there a park beside it with barbeque pits and stuff and loads of families there having a fun day out during summer. (freaking 38 degs...)



Anyhoos, nice place to have a dip in the cool water, go catch a nice bag of herrings/tailor/bla bla bla and crabs.



The crabs are huge. period. The other day I hooked one huge bugger on my 6lb fireline. Tried pulling it up but it was so heavy my line snapped. This lucky ass got one on his line, just check out the size of it.



And plus, there's a resident seal there always hanging around and "begging" the fishermen for free fish. A dolphin came at night and they both of them were fighting for free fish.



Caught 6 crabs last night with two bigger ones.




Here's a clip of the fat seal and a couple of pictures we took the night before
