Still around this afternoon. I saw it catch a couple of decent sized fish but mostly it came up with crabs of various sizes.

Two in the harbour this afternoon. A second one (first photo) dropped in off the end of the Lifeboat Pier and swam up into the harbour never coming close to the Pilot Pier.

One in the harbour again today. It seemed to be catching plenty of dabs off the end of the Pilot Pier.

How long do you boil those "dabs" for Ian? 20mins  ;)
