rosco, yeah mate i was thinking the same over the weekend just gone but the rain put me off, good tide and moon. Good work on the muddies nice size too, fresh sanga's for lunch.
braddles,
i get bout the same amount of keepers for an overnite soak to a daytime soak,but normally do get more crabs of a nit e soak but normally alot more throw backs,last nite soak prob got 20-25 crabs with 2 keepers to this arvo's 12 crabs with 2 keepers,out of 4 pots
cheers rosco
I have not been this year (no boat) - but last year we got loads of Throw backs too.
Some spots, all undersized while other areas they were all good size, but bucks far and few between. Spent a lot of hours finding some decent crab haunts along the river banks. My mate from NSW would almost cry when I was throwing MASSIVE jennies back lol (they keep them legally I believe)...
Its interesting the colour variation too - some of the big ones are a real rust colour, while others are almost black... I wonder if this is related to age, or just variation in shell colour amongst the species.
,the 1st two pots where checked
