Wow, learn something every day —- didn’t know there was such a thing as a commercial nipper pumper!😳

Wow, you cleaned up on the crabs—- again!! 👏

What a great unselfish mob the raiders are! No holding back and generous to the extreme! May it never change!👏👏👏

I now remember I do have a photo of that crab at our holiday home in yamba and I’m hoping to be up there before Christmas so will post it. Pre digital of course!

After heavy rain and flooding trawlers out of yamba often get muddies in their nets.

Also weed often contains tiny shellfish etc so plenty of protein!

Great catch and an excellent video! I accidentally caught the biggest mud crab ever in Brisbane water, pulled up my anchor and he was caught in a tangle of fishing line and somehow it had jagged on my anchor. Probably had been like that for weeks, if not months. I lifted him on board, put him on an Eski lid and untangled him. I fed him on shredded mullet flesh for about an hour and he was ravenous! I released him after an hour or so and away he swam. I have a photo somewhere of that crab with a beer can I placed in his claw for comparison and he could close the claw completely without even denting the can.

I always kept a dental floss dispenser in my gear. Anything loose is easy to bind up until you’re able to get a proper repair. Some of my temporary fixes lasted ten years! In the marlin season used to fish lizard island and always had a reel of morticians waxed thread in my gear—- used every day on the bait rigs and it was strong enough to bind a 130lb reel securely to a cracked reel seat. It’s the fishos version of the farmers no 8 fencing wire!!

Thanks for quick reply! Appreciated!

Hi Josh, massive whiting!! Is the grub the daiwa one and which colour? cheers

Steam them with slices of ginger and they’re great cold as well. The wrasse is colloquially known as a butchers %%%%% —- slippery! 😂

Here is my tick, leech, sandfly repellant recipe. It works! In a 500ml spray bottle from the 2$ shop half fill with water then add: 1 tablespoon dettol 1 teaspoon tea tree oil 100% pure 1 teaspoon detergent Shake well and spray on exposed limbs. I do my boots all over and also back of neck and behind the ears. prevention is better than cure!!!

Seargeant baker make great cut bait for snapper and flathead!

Thanks Larkin. Much appreciated!

Are witches hats still legal? I was told by a tackle shop you can only use pots now and it was one each but has been upgraded to two each. I’m confused!
