:1happybday: Happy Birthday to the many Raiders celebrating today. Hope you have a terrific day! Cheers Hodgey

This mystery is solved .... Thank you for your enquiry. We sent your image to one of our marine invertebrates experts and he gave the following identification: The crab is a Ridged Swimming Crab, Charybdis natator. It's common along the northern coastline and extends down to NSW and southern WA; usually caught in inshore trawls but also in crab pots and sometimes by line. They are edible and occasionally make it into the fish markets. The Red Swimmer is a different crab (Nectocarcinus integrifrons) from southern Australia. Cheers Hodgey

Raiders. Hope you're wetting a line and finding a few Have a great day! Cheers Hodgey

How good is THAT! Congrats to the young bloke for having a go and getting a couple of squid for his trouble. You must be a pretty good teacher, Dad Cheers Hodgey

G'day Raiders Judging by the amount of boat traffic already moving through our district, 'fishing' is on the agenda for a lot of people over Easter. My little home will be swelling at the seams with an influx of Victorians and their littlies. Our plan is to have day trips to Burrinjuck and the Clyde River, and chase a few fish in our local lake and river system as well. Fingers crossed for some decent weather. Where is everyone else headed? Enjoy the extended break, Raiders, and stay safe on our roads and waterways. I look forward to reading all the reports! Cheers Hodgey

Good to see you landed a few, Mick. Looks like you were graced with some reasonable weather. It's the opposite for me ... confidence in chasing fish in the Mulwala system and scratching my head about where to fish in Burrinjuck Great photos mate. I need to get back down there and chase them again! Cheers Hodgey

:1happybday: Many Happy Returns to all those celebrating today. Have a good one! Cheers Hodgey

No worries at all mate. As of Friday I had not heard from them. I will send a reminder on Monday. If that doesn't work I'll send the photos to the Museum Cheers Hodgey

to those Raiders celebrating today. I hope you have a great day! Cheers Hodgey

That's a terrific session in pretty appalling weather fellas. Congrats on the new PB Dan. Celta's and Tassie Devil lures are older than me, yet they're still accounting for fish today. Great report as always Stewy Cheers Skip

The photos were well worth the wait! :drool: What an amazing trip. Well done mate Cheers Hodgey

Happy Birthday mate. I hope you have a terrific day and celebrate accordingly! Cheers Hodgey

to the site Dale. There is a wealth of information available here and I'm sure you'll be able to offer some yourself! Enjoy the forums, mate Cheers Hodgey

to the Raiders celebrating today. Have a great day! Cheers Hodgey

Damn! Big numbers of BIG fish. Looking forward to the photos! Congrats to Rich Cheers Hodgey

The Sic-Stik Pro has been one of my favourite rods for a long time Leo. Unfortunately mine is in the shed at the moment awaiting a new tip Very nice outfit mate and something that will provide hours of enjoyment Cheers Skip
