Yep crabs good numbers at the moment as all the punters have given it away because they think you can't catch them in winter, i've been chasing muddys and doing good checked the pots yesterday got 11 bucks and 6 jennys threw the jennys back and ate the bucks last night watching the mundine fight, some good quality amongst them too all full as with their thick winter shells on.

funny u should mention that i got 26 sandies and 1 good muddy during the queens birthday weekend in 2 lifts then gave it away- just on a chance comment from a bloke who said he picked up a couple same time last year.

ahhhaaaa I thought so :( its a conspiracy. Keeping all those little succulent critters for your self. That is just so Unaustralian :p. Fantastic thinking outside the square. Seems like I have been doing it lately as it has been harder to get good fish. A little bit of exploring certainlly pays off. Other half now wants me to catch squid as the 2 fridges are full of fish :(. Women :). gotta love em.
