Launched at Donnybrook with a mate at 5am. We were keen for a feed of crabs and I thought that after such a slow start to the season, it must surely be starting after the recent rain.
Dropped 6 pots in one of my regular muddy spots and then went back out and dropped 2 dillies with diver whiting bait at one of Shane's gun sandy spots. First 2 checks of the dillies produced nothing, so a call to chuck a chook frame in one of them as bait was made.Checked pots with 2 keeper bucks being pulled up, along with some massive jennies and undersized bucks.
Decided to go for a run up to the W's. Didn't result with anything other than a big bustoff and some undersized bream, fingermark and cod whilst fishing around some mangrove structure with slabs of mullet fillet.
Back to pick up pots and 2 nice sandies in the dilly with the chook frame. Ended up with a few bream as well, so not a waste of time today.
Have just polished off our share of the crabs for tea. Yum. Muddy could have been fuller but still got 2 good sandwiches out of it. Sandy produced about the same amout of meat. It was chockers.
Sorry no pics. When I take the camera, I don't catch anything.
PS. The carpark was very empty today at Donnybrook. Were we missing something?
