Where are the Crays

Gadday all
This is my first post as a fully fledged fishwreck.
And that exactly what I am a fishwreck, waiting for the wind to line up so I can get out and get into the demersals I keep hearing that everyone is catching.
Anyway having gone inland for the christmas period I pulled the cray pots and havent had them back in until earlier this week. got out this morning to pull them and NOTHING!!!
Wondering if anyone is still getting crays in the Mandurah/Rocko area or have I had a visit from the cray pot fairies AGAIN???
Cheers Ol Tom

We dived today in 26m back
We dived today in 26m back of the FFB and they have certainly thinned out. Swell was pumping through today and the visibility was shocking, we managed 6 keepers with a few berried ones about out there now too.

Plenty from where I'm
Plenty from where I'm fishing. We had 10 yesterday 3 of them jumbos but the biggest had to go back as she was fully berried
. Mmm lots of Cray recipes being tested and eaten.
