December 30th - Saanich Inlet (#54)

Monica, Jenny, Claire and I went for day of prawning and eating! We dropped our traps in the usual areas and then went over to Mill Bay to have lunch at Bridgeman's Bistro. While there we also met Cheryl who we had not seen for some time. After lunch we made our way back to pull all the traps and came home with just over 150 prawns. The weather was beautiful - sunny and not windy - and we all had a nice day out together.

December 28th - Saanich Inlet (#53)

Martin and I went for a day of prawning with a bit of crabbing and fishing for flounder while waiting for the prawn traps to "soak". The crabbing and flounder fishing was not very productive - undersized Dungeness or red rock crabs and no flounder. Most of our traps had no prawns but one trap made up for that a bit by having around 100! It was quite windy during the pulling.
