Great morning on the mighty Swan !

Launched at 0830 and threw the crab nets around the Raffles area. Went out with a work mate, in his new boat.. a 4.85m Surtee. They are very nice boats, and handle very well.
Took us 3 hours to get 5 size crabs.. in between popping over to the Lucky Shag, for a flat white and toastie..got to love that river fishing. Caught most of them at the top of the tide. Good luck !
