good work there mate you were probably the only bloke out in the whole of brisbane
i put a post in m&g earlier in the week to see if any1 was headin out for a fish on the weekend,i stated that if it wa blowin 20knts or less would thak some pots to green,woke up yesterday and seabreeze was showing 15-20knts so i hooked up the boat and headed to green to set my pots for the night,got to the ramp and suprise no other trailors there,so headed out to green in bout 3/4mtr swell and i'd say 20knts, put 1 pot on the 1st beacon ,1 on the next beacon and then another bout 3/4 the way down the island,had 1 pot left so took it to my spot x,when i got to my spot x it was a solid 1.2mtr swell,went back this morning to pull them out,in the 1st pot at green i only got 1 keeper, 2nd pot i got 2 ,3rd pot i got 5 keepers ,so headed to my spot x and pulled the pot there i got 5 keepers out of it,in this pot i got the 4 biggest crabs i got today,not heaps of crabs but 13 out of 4 pots is ok,so i would say the crabs have hit the back of green,atleast there finally showing up this side of the bay,note there is only 12 crabs in the pics as i didn't include a moffidite crab as they look like a female but arn't and we all know what ppl on this site are like,they love to pick reports to pieces,
cheers rosco

Well done Rosco you sure do know where the sandies are in the Bay!!!

good feed ross, just had a look at seabreeze for tomorrow, monday, and its looking good so i will be going out, i will put my pots around the same area, then head to the rouse, hopefully get a feed over there, and get back to some crabs if the sharefarmers dont beat me to them
Great effort mate.
Some great sized sandies there.
You sure were keen to get out in that weather, I unhooked the boat and headed for the tinnie and tackle show instead.
I guess fortune favors the brave!!

There is a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot
I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges
