Exmouth Muddies/ Placcie bash along the north west side

With the winds up, we headed into the gulf via 4wd and found some nice mangroves. Reef walkers went on grabbed out the muddie pole, and within 30 mins we had 6 real nice muddies in the eski. Cant complain with that! This was a first tiem for mud crabbing in the groves for me, and i honestly walked passed so many with the boys to give me a helping hand and show me how to find them

 

Also been doing a bit of a placcie bash on the reef side (obviously where you can fish), starting to get some what of a hang of soft plastics. Got goldspots and juvi GT's in a nice lil sesh.

 

Winds starts dropping tomorrow and the weekend and early week look set to be pearlers. Cant wait to be back on the boat hunting fish.

Sure beats work eh

couple of fliCKS Added.

that's some old school cap you've got on there, I had similar ugly Charlotte Hornets attire back in the day too.

Nice crabs as well, how far into the Gluf did you have to head and were they meaty? I would've thought the tourists would've cleaned the muddies out of the BOR by now

apparenttly theres none being caught with pots in the bottom of the gulf. We found them in mangroves and there were still plenty around on the south western side at low tide(where we fonud them)Not soft at all. In fact one wieghs just a tad over 2kg.

 

I assume if the shells are soft like blue mannas there not full of meat? The blue mannas are also running hot.Seen some huge ones creeping the flats at learmonth.....
