queensland Got Crabs?

[Doyley]

After catching a sand crab on a line a couple of weeks ago, my son has been nagging me to put the pots in.  I haven't put them in for ages because it means putting the boat in two days in a row as I try to let them soak for 2 high and 2 low tides.   Being on holidays there really wasn't any excuses so we put the pots in Friday and pulled them out Saturday.  We spread them from just north of Coochin to the mouth of Hussey Ck.  

We ended up with 6 legal Sandies from two pots which were placed in the middle of the passage on drop off from sand bars.  Any pots further towards mangroves had undersize muddies.

I bet your son was beside himself with that haul. I love a feed of fresh sandies so you have inspired me to get over my laziness and soak the pots again soon.

You did well to get your son and dog to be still for a photo at the same time haha
