queensland Crabbing

[cameronh]

Went out Friday arvo after work to drop down some pots for a feed of sandies. We dropped them down at about 530 and punched through some slosh to get back in the river. We thought we would let them soak overnight and check them the next morning. Up at 6am the next morning and on the water checking pots by 630. Ended up getting 3 legal sandies... and about 30 jennies to throughback. One pot had 10 jennies in there and no males. I've got a sneaking suspiscion someone checked my pots before I got there..... Its not often you have four pots out for a 12hoursoak and your pots are loaded with jennies and only 3 bucks...

Anyone else had any luck???

Thanks

Cam

Hi Travis,

We dropped them down about 1km past the compass adjustment buoy.

Rosco,

Yeah, heard a few repors of some crabs around green, I'm new to crabbing, is there any moon phase that fires them up? & do you think its ok leaving pots out overnight?

Thanks
