Heading out Tomorrow.What would be the Better Option with the Forecast.

[Scott Ashe]

Morning All,

Tomorrow I have been asked to take my mate out and a lady friend of his, and with the E to NE forecast, I am unsure whether to Sand Crab around the Banana Bank or Mud Crab the Logan River, and just wondering what option you would think may be best.

ps My Boat is a 4.25m Ally Craft

Cheers.

G'day Scott,

Sand crabs are a bit patchy I've been told . Mud crabbing might be better, soak the pots in the water for at least an hour then check them. Good luck with it.

Cheers, Bondy

If you want a great day on the water I would drop some pots on Banana Banks or SW rocks to Spit and then go take it easy in horseshoe Bay for a swim.

[bondy99]

Horse,

You been getting a feed of sandies?

Bondy

There is every chance you will get both sandies and muddies at the mouth of the logan. But I think sandies are less hit and miss in the bay around peel, you should at least get something from all reports I am seeing

Scalem,

I was out at Peel 3 weeks ago and nothing. 2 blokes and 8 pots, deep water.

roscoe1974,

You did well then. Your crabbing background serve you well. Definitely none where we were.

Hey Bondy, just an FYI I threw the boat in late Yesterday from 9.30 to 2pm to scrape up a lunch for a reunion with people I have not seen in years. Set only two pots between coochie and Mclay for 4 of the best quality swimmers you will find. All 4 were way bigger than the min size for muddies let alone sandies. I need another two from a bloke who is getting more stock soon, but they are nice pots with 10 mm rings for $20 Each.

Gotta be be happy with that, there were no parks left at Weiman creek which shows just how many people are on the water. It was a slalom course in some parts avoiding floats but I still got a feed!
