Instead, we hauled up a mixed seafood platter of herring, toadfish, mullet, prawns, squid, a truckload of undersized bream, a small shovelnose shark, and a crab (a BIIG one which greedily hung on to the bait, but let go of the line when Adrian cleverly tried to get it up with the castnet) -.-
Weather was really tranquil though, after the storm this morning. I had never seen anything like this at the jetty! The wind died down to nothing-ness, the moon was full and it just reflected off the calm surface of the water like a mirror.
Sans flash
Eddie and his shovelnose
Our live bait bucket
This tiny fella broke my personal record in two ways:
1. It was my first ever (spotted rock) cod, and
2. At about 2 inches, it was the smallest wee thing I have ever caught on a line!
The li'l sucker tried to swallow bait almost its own size O.o
Tried recharging Adrian's squid jig with my camera flash (rather than use his tiny torchlight), but it didn't work very well
Adrian caught a small squid.
I know I look damn fugly in this photo... I was going "Faster take, faster take!" cos I didn't want the sotong to squirt ink in my face, even though it had supposedly used up all its ink already
In the end we got so fed up with the undersized fishies and non-existent action that we decided to pack up and go home just after high tide.
Brought a prawn back for Mariah. She went CRAZY
Alright I'm super sleepy already. Bed time, goodnight world! x
