First post
First up,Hi to all.
Being sitting on the side for a year or two, good site,lots of top fishing and general discussion and infomation. It is a bit of a bugger having to wait till Friday for the Friday Funnies---- good stuff, keep em coming.
Morton Bay Bugs--- Being waiting for some of the divers to say they have seen them, especially the night divers. I saw some come up in the prawn trawling nets of Karratha in Nickol Bay back in the early 70s (daytime bananas) but was very surprised,about 19 years ago, to see some come up from around the Murray Reefs(night trawling) between Mandurah and Port Kennedy.
Coming up in prawning nets puts them out on the flat country, although one member was picking them at Point Samson from the reefs at night.
One thing i do know about the prehistoric looking things is straight out of the water and into the pot, they are top chewing.
cheers
oh dear, did i mention the early 70s????? straight into the old farts club.

Welcome Mate
They are weirdo critters, and I was also almost cobsmacker in Kcity Woolies to see slipper crabs for sale. Now those buggers have lived for 2 long at the Monties in the 50s, and now migrated!!!
Welcome to the site, and you just learn heaps.
I dont know what age means you join the "old farts" but I must not be to far off that either!!!
