The day has come when a female flower crab with full of eggs in its abdomen got snagged by the bait cast crab net. Got to release it, so there are crabs to catch in the future.

Today I learnt sea snails are one of the critters are eating my baits. Hopefully this one live to a ripe of age as I had can only cut the line and throw it back into the water as the hook is stuck deep in the snail.

Got to pack up as the thunderstorm started over my head. However in the end I still got caught in the heavy rain as I struggled to untangle one of my fishing line.
