Haven't been to Fairbairn for a while, there were plenty of red claw back in those days.
Are they still in plague numbers???

Theirs still heaps around and easier to catch than the fish in the dam!!

2 points to consider though; The dam is getting really shallow in places, I ran aground on a little 'bommie' way out in the middle----motoring along fine then the sounder showed the bottom comming up fast , then..............crunch.............no real damage except a bit of paint loss to the blades.

The other concern is theirs a poliferation of 'pot' raiders so you have to get out on the water early to check your pots or theiy will be empty for sure.................geez theirs some mongrels around!

Cheers
