MARCH 28TH,29TH,30TH,31ST.....
BUCK was out on the open seas in Reg's bigger boat and came back with a host of squid and crab! Salt and Pepper squid on the menu Friday night! Out again Saturday and more of the above but I needed some iron so steak on the menu Saturday night.So many crabs ,so crab cakes for Sunday!!! If I come back with a hard shell and tentacles,you' ll know why!!!!!
MONDAY , OUR DAY FISHING!
Out at 7.30am,couldn't ask for a calmer day on the water!Depending on depth you can see the bottom!
Squid jigs on the rods,(prawn like lures with a mass of tiny hooks at the end,you cast your rod out,let it slightly sink and reel in slowly jerking along the way so the squid thinks its alive) and within minutes I have caught a big one! You bring them near to the boat and swish them back and forward so they shoot out the black ink ,then Buck chokes them!!!! Heads are pulled off for crab bait and they go in a net behind the boat,once the boat is motoring along,it cleans them really well then I only have a little bit of cleaning to do back on shore! Crumbed squid schnitzel for dinner and I made a creamy crab sauce for on top!!! Buck ended up with 4 ,myself 2 but they were the biggest!!!!
Set the rod up for whiting and we both managed only to snare a crab each,Bucks was a blue swimmer but mine was a sandy so I shook him off the line! We placed ourselves over a sandbar with reed alongside but we had no luck with whiting!
Captain Buck,cup of tea in hand as well as the rod.Multi tasking!!!!???
On our way back in we anchored amongst the reedy bottom,threw over 4 pots and had 20 crab within 45 mins,that's enough as we have to clean and steam them and find room in the fridge! Buck is always generous and if you are our neighbours you will get a feed of crab!
