Yesterday Rotto Dive for Crays
Submitted by Swompa on Mon, 2013-02-04 12:38
Not fishing in the sense of rod and reel, but im a bit stoked about the contents of the catch bag at rotto, in 3m of water!
Managed to get 5 males after finding countless BIG girls around, and around 50 little males.
Biggest was 145cm weighing 2.1kg, with 2nd being 135mm and 1.7kg.

Got to be happy with that.
What a great section of 3m deep water. Keep handling that many cray each dive and you might have to chage jobs ;) . Thanks for sharing, now where is that snorkle set of mine?

Funny part is that we got
Funny part is that we got this batch after bailing on the 1st spot after using 3/4 of the tank, and got all the crays here within 5 minutes.
