Rotto Cray report no 3
Headed to rotto today. Lost another pot and found it some what 400m from where i marked it in my GPS. Pretty frustrating...so it came in and just left two pots out that havnt seemed to be touched in a nice quiet bay.
All in all two pulls resulted in 21 crays, 4 keepers the rest burried or tar spots. Got some real nice jumbos pitty they all had eggs, best pot was 13 in one.Alot of the tar spottted crays were patchy not the normal big black mark if you get what i mean, mind you they all went back in the drink regardless. No whites yet. Guess with the numbers increasing per pot they could possibly be starting to walk, So the missus pots are in and will get swapped for wooden ones with metal bases, over the plastic or it just might be where i place them, as there are alot of cray pots around and i guess they just get pulled till people get their quota.
Nice day on the water it was red hot at one stage!
