The Story Of Us 1

The elusive cray is not so elusive anymore

Just over a year ago we went to Eddison Point, with Eden hoping to be able to catch some crays. However the crays were untouchable. Now with a little more experience and some new equipment Eden has finally cracked the cray fishing secrets.
Eden thought it would be fun to take Jony and Myles cray fishing while they were down last week. With Levi joining in for the ride the four of them set off last Sunday night and returned home on Monday with twelve (I think it was twelve :) crays between them with some abalone and a few Flathead thrown in for good measure.
Eden said that while he was diving he turned around and saw a large dark pointy face staring at him. His first thought was that it was (to quote him correctly), "A dirty big shark." After scaring it away he realised that it was only an inquisitive seal and he watch as it went and played the same trick on Levi. There had been a shark attack only the week before further down the east coast so it is understandable that they thought a seal could have been a shark but that doesn't make thinking about it any less amusing.
When they boys got home from their trip with their catch we tried to get the girls to kiss the crays for a photo. I'm not sure how it happened but everyone got in the act of cray kissing and it wasn't until we were going through the photos that we thought to asked ourselves, 'What on earth were we doing? :)
Thanks to the boys hard work the following night we had a lovely dinner of fresh crayfish, Flathead and abalone with leftovers to share.
