whiting and crabs

[trueblue]

Thats a feed fit for a king. Any hints as to the area. We dropped 10 pots in the northern Bay and got 4

On and near a sandbank not far from Bribie out in the bay- could see the mouth of the passage from where we were. Out of 8 pots, a couple had bugger all in them. Most crabs were bucks, only about 20% were undersized.

Well done trueblue. What did you get the winteries on? Were you drifting/anchored and what sort of depth?

The whiting were taking mostly squid strips, and worms. strangely, live worms didn't do so well. They did take the occasional prawn but not so often.

Would have been better with live yabbies, but couldn't pump any as it was highish in the making tide when we went out.

We only drifted over the edges of the sandbank from about 15 feet till a depth of about 8 feet over the bank and then etc, etc.
