Thought i would share this pic with you all. My mother was fishing/crabbing in Darwin this weekend and found this in one of the crab pots... needless to say they were mystified how he ever got in the crab pot (no real damage to the pot) but he sure was keen to get the bait... Would of been a real prick to pull up as well..
On the plus side they got 22 mud crabs and 9 decent fish...

Hi Lucas.
A friend is a pro crabber out of Amity.
Mostly between Straddie and Moreton.
He can guarantee there will be at least 3 pots with bullies in them on every run.

Had a god size hammerhead in a pot in the Hawksbury a few years ago.... at least it was a rental (the pot, not the shark)

Have had pots out of the water on low tide and a few crows thought they would jump in for a feed. They never figured how to get back out before the tide come back in......

Ditto on the wobbies, at least they aren't as bitey as that one though!

I caught a Threadfin about 3 foot long in a crab pot in the Mary river when I was still going to school. I believe he may have been cahsing the shrimps that would have been eating the bait.
