Crabbin'

Jeff got this sudden urge to go crabbing, so on Monday we went. Jeff got home from taking a test and we left right away.

It was such a beautiful day.

The day before Jeff looked up what food was used to catch crabs...and it was definitely from the wrong source :) He read that fried chicken worked the best. We picked a couple pieces up from KFC. We felt kind of dumb when this crabber came up and asked us what we were using for bait. We told him chicken and he spotted our KFC bag, ha ha. This, of course, lead him to then ask us if we were using cooked chicken. Yeah...we got laughed at a little. I guess if you go crabbing - use squid (which we now have in our fridge in case anyone wants some - I know so sick, right?) or sardines. You live and you learn, ha ha, and feel a little stupid in the process.

Our net, unfortunately, never caught any. We bought some snares so the next time we'll have the net and fishing poles.

This guy was nice enough to let us use his knife.
(He didn't catch any either...so we're not the only losers out there)

These people used a net and they caught two.
We had to live vicariously through all the successful crabbers.

We finally caught one!

Not really.
But I took pictures of this one that the guy next to us caught.
He asked if I was going to put it up on YouTube,
which I thought was totally weird.
Who would really want to see a crab on YouTube?
Not to mention I wasn't taking video...

We were fascinated by the other people next to use catching so much crab.

This was the guy that asked what bait we were using.
He finally felt so bad for us he gave us some of his sardines.

They kept asking if we were from the city.
I guess we really stood out among all the fishermen.

This seal was just making his living off of the fishermen's bait.

Seriously, those snares were catching so many crabs.

Don't you see the seal looking at us?
Isn't that like the craziest thing you've ever seen?
He really was looking right at us!

This man caught two at once.
Some people just have all the luck.
Or at least all the right bait...

After we had fun failing at our first crabbing attempt, we went kite surfing.
That's Jeff.

Okay...we lived vicariously through the man that was kite surfing and just took pictures.
But we had fun just trying to crab :)
We're going again on Saturday morning if anyone wants to come!

P.S. - Jeff hates when I take pictures of just him, but I'm so good at sneaking them in :)
