Gee there is some good size cray eaters there
That's a very good bag of occys you have caught there well done.
That should have saved a few crays lives from the pot raiders.

A question for the bait experts
So when you are targetting dhuies and the like and using ocy for bait should you skin it / remove the tentacles?

gotta skin it otherwise it
gotta skin it otherwise it becomes waterlogged. water fills between the flesh and skin. ends up looking like a blob of nothing exciting

That depends
How fresh it is. I like taking outer skin of only. Need some brown and suckers left on. The main bit that bubles is closest to head( thickest skin is on top) only bit I take off. Just personal preference
