David in Australia’s adventure:part one> craigfish hunting

Good day mate!! haha i had my awesome experience in Feb 2008 in my second home in Australia, a small town named Robe. My dad’s friends invited my family for a ride in their boat and bring us to see what it like to catch crayfish(lobster) ha ha this is one great experience offer by 2 Australia(Shane and killsby) free of charge.
In an cold morning woken by a invitation to catches cray, i got up and full of adventurous mood ha ha. we got to the harbor only like 3 min away in drive. Shane and killsby is waiting for us in a small yacht but a real nice one, she is a beauty. And off we start the engine motor, getting exciting with this moment. and once after we get off the harbor, and killsby is driving even faster! and this is heck of a bumpy ride, i could have fallen off the yacht anytime! and it was a scares moment while fighting with the wave, i even took alot of strength to hold on to anything that prevent me from "bye bye David and enjoy the water"
wow… the sun is bright and the sea is a beauty, with the wind and the waves, it was a spectacular indeed, just amazing. but the wind is chilling cold, we were freezing. We came to this floating thingy which tell us where is the Cray’s cage are. When killsby drove the yacht next to the floats, and Shane will hook it up with a hook(duh) and pull all the way up til the boat. aww…. cuz the first cage was empty.. well Shane change the bait with some fish’s head and abalone(waste!! ha ha) and throw it back in the sea. We came til the last cages, it wasn’t empty but it is not a crayfish sign… but a snapper fish ha ha. well by law we still can’t keep the snapper because it is not in the legal size yet. (FYI: Australia have laws even fishing, that why i love this country, to prevent over catching til near extinction). well we all say our bye bye to the snapper fish and threw away.
We couldn’t get any crayfish that day but we cheated hahaha we asked Shane to go buy some crayfish and bring it back to the restaurant for some lunch!! hahahaha well at least i have fun and the rest(Shane,killsby,my both sister and my bro-in-law)
PS: thanks for the ride! OZ Shane and killsby ha ha, i wannabe OZ too!
