W/W - Crabbing

Crabbing over the patio of our wooden water chalet was an awesome experience!

A hotel staff helping Josh to set up the crab net
There are two openings for the crab to enter. Once they get in, they can't find their way out again
A squid is tied to the centre of the net and used as bait
Lowering the net into the water below
Our first catch of the day
A total of seven six (one escaped!) crabs and a hermit crab were caught!
This little guy was different than the rest

There is a service charge of RM30 (USD10) if you want your crabs cooked by the hotel's kitchen staff but we didn't have the heart to eat those little fellas. And so back into the sea they went!

    I love to go crabbing. Haven't been in years though. If I caught crabs there is no way my Hubs would let me throw them back.

    Now that's one thing I can say I've never done. It looks fun though.

    I'd have let them go too. It just feel guilty eating something I've looked in the eye.

    Oh! That looked like so much fun. We used to go catch crabs in Maine with nets. We called it crab nabbin' lol
    We would never eat the little guys either. (Quite frankly I don't like seafood!) Have a great week! :)

    What fun! We always let them go instead of cooking when I was a child, too.

    that 3rd one looks like it has the same shell as the hermit crab. I don't eat crab meat, to rich for my tastes. besides I am crabby enough, LOL.
