caught a coconut behind rotto

was at rotto for a few days and during a windless spell decided to hit the fads - few reports of mahi mahi being picked up - (gave FADS a miss as there was a couple of boats knocking around) - whilst heading out further west noticed something in the water hoping there might be a few fish under it but sadly not - turns out it was a coconut with a myriad of life clinging to it - clams, crabs and tiny fish - pretty amazing what life clings to out there and easy to see how it can bring in the bigger fish- was returned to the sea

You could have tied an anchor to him and dropped him to the bottom and you'd see a constant stream of bubbles from him still talking shit.

 Hahaaa . . . Unfortunately, he is going to be one lonely crab, drifting around in the void of the ocean. Or at least until it touched land (if). Better makes sure he hangs on when he's having a kip
