Havnt posted anything for a fair while now and because Im now back at work bored Ithought I would throw up a few photos of the few catches on the few days off at Chrissy and New Years.

-Crays were thick again this year, getting full pots right up until mid - late December. Chrissy lunch is always a winner, I usually cook up about 15-20 crays for the family lunch. On a side note I have been fishing the same spot for the last 6-7 years and have been getting big numbers in that period. This year was the first time I had other people potting around me and the first time Ive had pots move. Thankfully none went missing but will be looking to sound out a new patch for next year I think.

-Just before Chrissy was able to get out for a quick fish, was able to get a good bag with 2 dhuies and 2 baldies. Dhus were around the 15kg mark and in shallow around the 25-30m mark on small bits of ground. The dhu in the photo was the one my mate caught.

-I think yabbies have to be one of the best feeds going around, on par with Marron. Took the nets to a mates farm used a couple of pesky birds as bait and an hour later had a good feed or yabbies which were all great size. Garlic yabbies with rice is the best!!

-Start of the new year focussed on getting onto a few crabs, first in the swan and then mandurah. Mandurah is way easier to get a bag than the swan and with the new 5 per person rule I had to share the swan catch with 4 blokes haha. Swan crabs are so much bigger than the Mandurah ones though, you may be able to see the comparison in the photos.

Now that Im back at work I think for the next few weeks I will be focussing on getting a few Marron and hitting the crabs whenever I can, hoping for some low winds over the next few weekends so can get back out on the fish as the freezer is looking a bit bare.
