Bradley throwing the crab trap.
Lunch!  Fishing off the dock in the background.


We arrived home two days ago and fortunate for us we missed the 90 MPH wind and driving rain that hit Queensland while we were in Perth.  Bradley took us Mud Crab fishing off the dock behind his condo.  The pictures will show you some of the action.  Bradley baited the trap with “chicken frames”.  In the U.S. we would call it “chicken carcass”.  (Different names pop up all the time in Australia.  As a matter of fact, Bradley says that when the U.S. broke away from England they messed up the English language.)  Bradley caught some really nice mud crabs.  He threw them in a pot of boiling water for 15 –17 minutes and they made a delicious lunch.  The claws on those Mud Crabs are something to be careful of as they can take off a finger…I saw them easily cut a nice size carrot in half.
