Night at the River

Pretty good night last night, no wind or chop to be worried about. The night started off with me remembering I had forgot some equipment (towel and glow stick) but it didnt stop me from jumping into the water at around 7:40pm. Aiming for prawns we set out and my first prawn was caught sucessfully. Looking around with my prize made me realise that my two buddies had dissapeared into the night. No idea where they went and all alone, i decided to continue my dive anyway because i was not going to stop at 1 prawn.

After a while of being chased by blue manner crabs, jumping out of my skin when bumping into things, and catching some more prawns i was beginning to run out of air so i surfaced. I did not know that the aim time was to be 50 minutes so after staying down for an 1 hour and 20 minutes the group started to get worried and considered ringing the water police (oops). Being the efficient breather I am, i can stay down slightly longer than everyone else, but apparently that should not have been the case... Anyway, i ended up catching 4 prawns. Well... 4 large prawns, 3 killer prawns (inedible apparently and also called mantis prawns?) and 2 baby prawns that i also had to throw back. One of these prawns was quite large at 18cm and another at 15cm.
Great Night :D
