Bit shitty out pulling the pots this morning but bringing back 3 x southerns and 1 western cray makes it all worthwhile.
Consider the southerns by far the better eating cray by for so not complaining with recent results

Difference
The western is the one on the right with the two larger horns , the others have a set of 3 horns with one in the middle and lower down from the outer ones

Measure
How do you measure the Southern Carnarvonite ?
Are they the same size limits as the Western

Sizing
To measure southerns, there is a small gap in front of the centre horn, from there to the back of the carapace has to be over 98.5mm
Luckily haven't had one that small that I have had to measure
