May have to ask the fisheries research boys how they age these big boy crays! lots around at the moment but they seam to peak around late Feb to March In the Deep water.
Happen to just have a bite for lunch with a mate from Jurien....cray man.....
He suggested that a 4kg would be at least 20 years.....more likely closer to 30 yrs
He also mentioned heaps of people getting cray poisoning this year.......lots of fishers not maintaining good personal hygene..... watch out for cray nics and cuts.......metho them before they fester
