blues

Got a last minute call, 'lets go fishing’. tired after a 20hr shift from work, said .. meh, what the .. lets go fishing,. I told my mate, there are no crabs… its too cold.. I’ll tag along.. thought might finally catch my first jew

Headed down to the hacking, dirty water, thought crap, I ain't gonna catch a thing tonight!! Nevertheless, lines out to catch some yakka's.

Set out some livies and now time to snooze, thought to myself, I might catch finally catch my first Jew!

About an hr goes by and my line goes tap, pull, sap!. I call it a Jewy, get all excited and land my first blue 65.5cm claw to claw. Rigging up another yakka, my goes crazy, 10 mins later I land its brother blue 0.5cm shorter!

Butterflied a yakka and feel asleep, about 1hr my 6lb screams…. By the familiar head shakes I called it, it was a bream and pull up a nice 37cm bream. 30 minutes later my line crazy again and landed a 35cm bream.

Considering that I slept through of half of it, it was a blast of a fishing trip but sadly no jew

Those crabs are huuuuge, and soooo sooooo tasty. They make a great linguini with a bit of squid and fish along with a few vegies. The bream look nice and healthy too. Even a 20 hour stint at work won't hold us dedicated bunch back from a good time on the water.

Well done mate.

The use of nets in the area I fish is prohibited, I use lines... Check the area you want to fish on dpi website before using nets(http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fisheries/info/closures/rec-sw-loc/central-coast-index/port-hacking)

Generally we look for the area the tide slows down, I've also seen some guys scoop them up nets as they swim by on the run out. have a read of this article - > http://www.fishraider.com.au/fishing-articles/blue-swimmer-crabs.php. Hopefully it'll help you landing you some huge blue swimmers

Cheers,

What? How do you catch crabs on fishing line? I have done it accidentally in the past but what the?! Please explain! That is so awesome.

[HookLine&Thinker]

I've caught a couple of blues using an old stocking, a sinker and rope.

Put your bait in the toes of the stocking with a heavy sinker tied to the rope and anchors awaaaaay.
The crab gets caught in the stocking and pull up very gently.

well done, those are some big ones

they are everywhere, we put a pot out and got around 7 in one trap and 3 in the other in a couple of hours, we got a big muddy as well

Put the boat in at Roseville on the way out to the heads and deep blue. Where the best you think to put the witches hats to then pick them up on my way back to ramp?
