So it's off to Thornham for the first crabbing trip of the year. Hot sunny weather, a pack of super-cheap bacon, and the crab-catching kit and we're set.
The weather meant that Thornham tide gate was full of people dangling their lines, so we had to make do with a new perch, the sloping part of the gate. That's not ideal, and our bucket made a dash for freedom, ending up plonked on the oozing tidal mud where it was too difficult and/or dangerous to retrieve (see above).
Our new vantage point also proved to be less fruitful than our usual place and we only caught three or four crabs - we also think that they were maybe full up from a whole day's worth of bait and weren't interested in ours! But we still had a whole lot of fun and will be heading off to Wells next week for a crabbing and pie day!
p.s. anyone know a decent crabbing spot near Great Yarmouth? Sam wants to take his mum when they go there to stay later in the summer....
