Hi fellow Weekenders,

Today I'm back with the first crabbing trip of the year!

Tide pool Fun

One thing that we love to do as often as we can is get out there and get to the beach so we can enjoy some fun in the sun and the waves. We went to a few good spots when we were on vacation but we haven't been to the local beaches around us much so we knew that we were going to look forward to it when we got a decent bout of weather. Sure enough, we got that recently!

The little man is an avid little hunter that's for sure. He's always popping around the rocks, searching for the next little treasure. We found our first one last year around this time but this year we found it again! I know this isn't exactly an eel but it certainly looks like it! We were able to learn the correct name and I'll have to find it but this critter here is quite the interesting thing to find. It's slippery like an eel and fast as hell! Most times we don't get them but this time we cornered the fella and captured it. Thankfully when we were done with it, we put it back and it was a little tired but it swam away and hid under a rock to recover lol

Being late spring, it's time for getting laid! LOL It's mating season for all kinds of animals and crabs are no exception. I handled her as gently as I could but I found a few crabs that were quite pregnant with thousands of little eggs attached to them! I got this one up for a picture to show it off and we put her back under a rock where she can hide and keep the crab ecosystem flowing!

We had quite the haul for crabbing this time. The guy that's looking up at us was one tough fella to catch! He's obviously been in some brawls with his homies, missing a claw and all.

I took the little bucket here and snagged a few of my own crabs, though I made sure to give the best ones to the little man so he could enjoy them.

This crab here is one that he caught all on his own! It's great but pretty sad watching him grow up and be able to do these things on his own lol. Last year I had to catch all the crabs, particularly the big ones. This year though, he's caught bigger crabs than I have! It's really fun and good to see him do that, although it's also quite sad lol little dude is growing up! 😕

This one was ready to fight that's for sure lol when we let him go back into the water afterwards, he immediately propped up on his back legs and stuck his claws out at us as if to say "wanna piece of me bitch?!?!" it was pretty funny. Once we stood up he crawled away but the little man was teasing him and dropped back down and the crab instantly went into fight mode again. It was a pretty funny way to end the crabbing session.

One thing we hope we can find are good crab hunting grounds when we move this year! We have an affinity for having fun in the crab areas, flipping rocks over and searching for them. I know we are going to try some other areas a little further up for some crab fun, so hopefully we can catch ones that are even bigger!
