Big Bluey East of Albany
Submitted by Dreamweaver on Sun, 2008-01-20 09:05
For those of you that know Cheynys, here's an article that appeared in the local press. Another chap (Bats) caught a stonker of the stones elsewhere.
Apparently crabs are doing the damage. Would be interesting to see how Gulps go on an appropriate jig head.

strong!
It would want to be one very big strong jighead Colin, that's for sure! As for gulps, that would be interesting yes but i reckon they would be very wary of such imitation but anythings possible!

Yeah, I think you are right about the Jighead Ryan. I haven't yet been lucky enough to even have one on the line, but I here they go hard. I know the guys of the stones are using PE6 gear as a minimum.
I also here they're pretty crafty beasts and not easily fooled. So not sure the softy crab alternative would be the goods. Worth a try though.
All going well, should get the boat back this week and if next weekend is right I have a spot and cunning plan to try...

Sound advice Dan
Sound advice Dan and from experience evidently. I'll certainly keep the tip on the crab legs in mind. Cheers for that!
