Nice work mate, were the 7 crabs keepers or throwbacks?
Gonna be a nice day tomorrow!

the 8 sandcrabs and 1 muddie were all legal, Toddo
bloke at the boatramp said u could see the crabs swimming just under the surface along inside of moreton island, so there are plenty around still

Thanks Mark

Rosco....the wife is to get her kitchen eh
its the best catch for me for awhile, though once you look after family/friends they dont last long, as you would well know
