after talkin to trav on the friday, and with everything packed, and ready to go so i started my way down the road about 9 am

upon arival at the campin grounds i quickly put up the tent and got the pots into the water

now back at the camp havin a few beers waitin for trav and kel to turn up i started to down a few cold 1'swell trav and kell showed up and i do believe it was cold.

very bloody cold. trav and i called it a night about 1 am, and woke to eagerly check our pots, and gotta say, a lil disapointed in some 1 lettin the team down, :P

ahh well more for us

this was the first pull of our pots

and it was the same every time we pulled em up, until the last morning where share farmers had beaten us to our pots, still we managed a feed, it was this amount times 3 for the weekend ! goin up again soon very soon, oh yeah the 25 goes alright too, it's a different boat now with it all back together

How long do you leave your pots in for?

Guys, i'm hoping to hit up somerset this weekend and try for redclaw for the first time.

I'm looking for some tips on where to place the traps and what you use for bait.

I've read up on Ray's methods so i've got a good idea on catfoods, but someone once told me rockmelon was the go? :huh:

So do we go close to the banks, in deep water, on drop offs or what?

I really have no idea! The last time i caught a yabbie, it was with a piece of meat on some butchers twine in the local creek and slowly dragging him up and getting behind him with a net :-)

Any tips would be greatly appreciated! ;)

Is anyone going to be out there?

Cheers

Nat

i would be using rock melon orange paw-paw and mango it seems to be the best up there and you can have feed while you bait your pots mmm,and put them in along the rock walls or rocky slopes in about 6-10 meters of water,or look around for fallen logs in the water around this depth of water,good luck.brad
