went and checked the pots again this morning with the plan of rebaiting and setting for 1 last overnite soak.pulled the first pot for 7 keepers so pulled it out and wraped it up as was sure to get another good feed.pulled the remaining 3 pots i had set and ended up with 24 in total,great numbers out of 4 pots,i got these over the river in a spot x not in the boat passage where i got a good feed on xmas day.the river sure is firing for crabs
cheers rosco
well done , now thats a good feed
Very nice haul - which river are you talking of please?
Don't take life too seriously, no one gets out alive.

Well done rosco top feed there mate you've made me jealous yet again.
I crabed Green for two days prior to xmas for 11 keepers, its abit slow there at the moment but still I had some fresh crabs to go with the prawns.
Back at work for a couple now so all I can do is read your reports and wait for home day.
Top effort with the tings yesterday to mate.

the pots i have been using i got of an x pro crabber i grew up behind...they have 2 funnels not like most of the new pots u get with 4 entries..i have found these outcrab the 4 entry ones easy,will be gettin a few more made next week.
jimbosplumbing,
not sure what u mean by your post.but if u must know i have a cooker that cooks 25 sandies at a time so 10 minutes and i am done,guess u need a good cooker when u catch the amount of crabs i normally do
cheers rosco
Just having a bit of a laugh about the cooked cabs in the photo rather than fresh. Yeah you sure do, so consistently as well. I've seen great posts of crabs from you for the last few years, you make it look easy.
is all good mate,
axl give me a pm just b4 u get back and will take u on a river crabbing tour when u get back and show u a few spots.got to keep rach happy so u can get the new rig.
cheers rosco
watch out fr the trawlers, they will take anything in the way.

Well done Rosco, seven in one pot is a big haul! you haven't got any pics of those pots have you.
Its hard to go past the BCF ones at 4 for $55 especially when one goes missing every few trips.
The river is a pretty good option with these winds at the moment.
Cheers,
Matt
i have 2 good pots and 2 cheapies. the cheapies get left out overnight but the good ones always come home. funny thing is one of the good pots is a hayes overnighter

nah i havnt matt but will take a couple of pics when i am back down the boat and post them.they where $46 each but well worth the money.i dont even take the crab n gear pots out anymore
I had one of my pots slashed over the last couple days in the central bay. some twat pulled my pot and broke half the name tag off, andslashed a hole in the side of the pot. luckily it was an old pot that was ready to be replaced, but still a stupid act by a right twat.
about the 4 entrance vs 2 entrance, I think I'll tie up 2 entrances on some of my old pots and see how that goes, I've heard the same thing over the years that 2 entrances are better, but haven't tried it yet.
