Exploring West of Berry Inlet

Image
October 28th (Monday) We had another full day of exploring and saw many beautiful places. First thing in the morning though we pulled up our crab trap and were disappointed once again to find it empty, and the carcasses were untouched. It was so weird! Where were all the crab? Why did we catch two small ones the first day and then nothing? We were, however, persistent and took the trap to yet another area; this time out deeper and closer to open water, and reset it once again. In the evening we pulled it up again out of curiosity, and found it still empty. There was one large red Sea Urchin clinging to one of the carcasses through the net of the trap, but otherwise it was empty. We once again moved it to another area and reset it. It didn't hurt to try. We pulled up our prawn trap to see if we had anything, and we were stoked to have some prawns. We threw back the largest three because they were carrying eggs, we also threw back three little ones, and we were left with 29. Yay!...
