queensland NPD redclaw are a pest.21/3/11

[rayke1938]

Back to NPD this morning because we didnt go to see Caser Daley and Prince willey at Toowoomba.

Pretty nice morning .

Did my shrimp pots. Very pleased with my new rubbish bin npots they catch far more than all nthe other ones that I have tried.

Then baited up the redclaw pots and tried to catch some gar and tilapia.

Got a few gar but couldnt take a trick with the tilapia. As soon as the bait hit the bottom either a turtle or redclaw. Even got 2 redclaw on the one bait.

I think that i got around 12 redclaw on the line.. Just drop bait to the bottom and if it moves sideways quickly its a turtle and if it moves slowly ite a redclaw.

As usual got a good feed of claw on the way back.

Waiting to be deveined.

This lot may be going to Gladstone.

Cheers
