May News:
Hi to all for the merry month of May all the way from the Abrolhos Islands. This month so far has been filled up doing a dive contract for the servicing the crayfishermens moorings all through the Islands . This has given us a great chance to get to know the locals and to find all the good spots to stay for the night time between fishing. I spent a week at North Island absolutely blown away by how much fish and crays are up there in the shallow water and the coral is on par with Exmouth which just looks like you are swimming in an aquarium. We caught 6 big Dhufish from our 12 foot tinnie which we will have for the rest of the season in 10 meters of water and that was in just an hour of fishing. Also found some good spots to fish if the weather comes up. Hand feeding schools of skippy, sambos and sand snapper off the mooring. You get the picture. I am absolutely in love with these Islands and really is a lifetime dream to spend 4 months a year up here. You simply will not have a better time anywhere else of catch as many fish!
The only down side is this ridiculess law Minister Ford has put in about the Baldies and not being allowed to keep any. Every person I have had on board shakes their heads in dismay as you know that the fish will certainly die when released. There have never been so many either. At least 65 % of all fish caught were Baldies , from 5 meters to 70 mtrs , from Jurien Bay to North Island. Just go for a dive inside the reef to see how many there are. Even bringing a big fish up in 5 meters slowly can't save them from expelling their stomachs and then chewing them off with their big teeth. If we had of been allowed to keep even the big ones we would have had to stop fishing on the 4 th day instead of the 7 th as quota reached. Three days of extra fishing instead of snokelling, Macky fishing and sight seeing and killing needless fish. Don't even get me started on what will happen to the charter industry if this 4 month ban goes ahead over the peak period for our livelyhood. I am all for halving the daily catch per person as I think 2 good fish are all that is needed for a feed for your family. Can you imagine how many other related industries this will also affect , from tackle shops to hotels and everything between. Let's just hope the minister for fisheries can see the light and come up with a different approach to saving the fish stocks, based on fact and not a beauracrats heresay who depends on a government grant to prove his worth...
Back to the Abrolhos and we still have some dates avaliable for individuals and whole boat bookings and all I can say is come out and fall in love with these beautiful Islands which are a fishermens heaven and playground. See you out there. Regards Craig
