Today's crays
Hi all
Headed out this morning at 7.30am for another go at the crays and I'm happy to report that we got another feed. Didn't have to go too far out from The Cut again.
Snared 8 in total but lost one trying to put it in the catch bag....of course, it had to be the biggest one of the day 
On returning to the boat it was out with the gauge and while these 4 didn't need to be measured, the other 3 were close....the minimum size is 76mm and I've only got a 77mm gauge and this was a 'loose fit' so I erred on the side of caution and returned them to the water....I know where they live!!
Saw heaps of kackas so that's promising for later on/next season. The vis was only about 7 - 8m and the undercurrent was reasonably strong but it wasn't too uncomfortable.
Don't know whether the shark shield zapping me had anything to do with cramp, but my left leg seized up and that's a bastard when you're trying to get back to the boat....yeah, I know, toughen up gates!!
Back at the ramp just after 11am and home for bbq cray for lunch...went down a treat, again.
regards

Nice capture Rusty and a very nice feed I am sure. Best I could do today was smoke a batch of very nice Tailor. Life's tough but I love it! Looks like your are making the most of it also.

Thanks guys
It's nice to get amongst them....not getting our bag limit but a nice feed all the same.
As long as the weather is nice on the weekends, we can get out there and get a feed....also, bring on 16th December.
Smoked tailor can't be all bad, Vince!
