Catchin blue crabs

Last Saturday, Ryan and I set out to sea on his new fishing boat. He had purchased it from Queensland and was dying to try it out. We woke up before sunrise (very rare for me) to test out his new purchase. We set voyage from glenelg to north haven. The water was steady when we first got out but turned quickly. An hour later, after catching 4 blue crabs, we rode the waves back to glenelg. 

The next morning, we got up even earlier in hopes that the weather would be better. Luckily, there was absolutely no breeze. We were out from about 6 until 11. There were a tonnnn of boats out as well, about 80 other boats- not even exaggerating. We decided to bring the GoPro out to test that out as well. The videos are hilarious. We put it in the water to see what goes on down there. We saw blue crabs. Some fish, lots of seaweed and underneath the boat for a bit. I'll try to upload them to the blog if my technical skills allow. We caught 8 blue crabs and a few garfish. It was a gorgeous day and we had heaps of fun.
