Ian and I are still hanging out in the Sandy Straits. It is such a beautiful part of Southern Queensland located in the wilderness area of Fraser Island (the largest sand island in the world). Ian bought himself a crab pot and has been enjoying trying his luck every day to catch the prized mud crab. This is Ian with a legal sized crab but unfortunately he couldn't keep it because it was a girl (Jenny). In Queensland you can only keep the male (buck) crabs for eating. Well every day Ian has become more frustrated as he has only caught girls so he is taking a break to figure out how to catch a male. We have watched some truly beautiful sunsets during the last week and have enjoyed staying in the same place for more than a few days. We have fished a lot but to date haven't really caught anything legal size. Ian is so proud even when he catches a toad fish! The top photo shows Ian fishing from the dinghy after the Fraser Island Ferry almost ran him down. Hopefully we will have better luck when my brother and his mate join us next weekend with their local knowledge, crab pots and professional fishing gear.
