Give it a go mate!
So with work being slow, and the wind being light ..I did a bit of a bludge and took a few days off “ for painting and chores etc” ..But I made the fatal error of telling VC that I had a day or two off, well after VC had done his chores he turned up at my place with the boat hooked up!
What’s a man to do, gear in the boat , boat into the tide , me into the gear and into the tide!
What’s a yarn without excitement, well we had being looking at this patch of turf for a while and the weather gods pretty much made us dive it with choppy and unpleasant conditions, making it hard for the boatman to monitor the diver it was the best choice ….down a large rock straight into the sand , not a great start , but the fish life was abundant, and a couple of large red Moki drifted past so I quietly followed them and they lead me to holes and cracks and the cave, nothing nothing nothing , then as I rolled over the side of a rock, feelers , and legs …you beauty…well no it was tucked up in a safe from me spot ..next hole empty along with one more then finally a catchable cray , which I rushed and completely fucked up!
We’re there is one there are normally others and I found the village idiot out on its own in a crack with no escape , bloody wonderful we’re on the board, sacked another couple , back to the boat to find the wind had dropped away and it was a truely stunning day.
Had a yarn and a beer with VC as we enjoy a spectacular Autumn’s day
Another spot marked for the future. VC your a bloody great mate and excellent skipper, thanks for the time you put in getting us on the crays!
Bloody epic mate! Cheers
