so many questions mate...
1. my guess is either a turtle or a turd.
2. same as yesterday but the swell was bigger this morn. wind dropped out for a bit at 6.30 (just after i got back)
3. pots on the burner now. you can come do lunch if you like but they will be better after a few hours in the slurry.

Dave you know where I live.

[Scott Ashe]

Well done again mate, at least I should get a few if I can manage to get out. If not I may possibly join Tangles for the crab meet and greet, whenever that may be.
Cheers

[royslaven]

Thanks anyway mate, will probably settle for a vegemite sandwich, you enjoy the fruits of your labour, will try and get my pots out tomorrow, cheers, roy

Dave you know where I live.

you may have a statement or 2 to retract first but you can stop in on your way home if you want a few.

Thats an awesome effort. If there is one thing I miss most about fishing about SEQ its the abundance of Sand Crabs. Best feed you can get out of the sea I think.

[cobiaman]

Chillie sand crabs it is...

mike. 3 seasons back i got 40 to 50 a morning about 6 times over 3 weeks in the same spots. best was 50 in 6 hours with 4 pots and home by lunch.
was interesting to note there were zero female or undersize today and a few very large crab.

[Tangles]

SOunds like a cracker of a spot there Dave, it seems they are really starting to run. Today arrived the SS crab cooker i ordered from the states, hoping to give it a workout this weekend.
