Do your family ever get tired of eating seafood?

Crays
I consider crays as one of the best tasting things in the ocean. Dont do much diving anymore and i am not paying $18 for the frozen crap at the supermarket. Crabs also but since the cockburn ban i havent really had many, but we wont start on that topic!

Great going Jack! Got out
Great going Jack!
Got out again this morning with the mastiff and got our bag in 6-8m.
Saw a nice big female dhuie in 8m of water which was my highlight no more than 200m from the island!
Another highlight was a 4m runabout almost hit the reef as we were leaving.He was 25m away from us and I was pointing at the reef on the surface to get his attention and he went straight over it!Dont ask me how he managed to not kill his prop!

diving
I think there is nothing better than diving to give you greater respect for fish hey goatrutar.I was going for crays behind the reef in cervantes had my loop and speargun with me ,always take my gun after a couple close calls with grey coats .We had the biggest dhu we had ever seen(Well over 1.2 m long )came within 3 or 4 meters of the two of us .He stayed with us and we followed him for the entire tank of air .Still get goosebumps just thinking about him .AWESUM Hands down best diving experence.

NO WAY
Just couldn't do it got no crays either just swam in ore of him ,could have done him in so many times .at one stage he swam between us and we would have been 5 to 6 meters apart .Too this day i have not taken a guess at his weight it was just massive ,had no fear of us at all.Would swap my gun and loop for a camera that day .Been back for a week sametime of the year every year since and seen alot of smaller ones .I think it may well be a once in a lifetime thing i hope not .

Nice catch to start the
Nice catch to start the season off.
I do like crays and tossed in some good vinegar is awesome.
Doesnt beat the taste of fresh Marron though.
I will have to get off my arse and start snorkelling again.
Get some practice in before Exmouth next yr.
