samos Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Gday Fellas Tried the Georges for some muddies. Not much luck however. All up we ended up with 2 muddies. One very good sized female and one small male which had to be thrown back. Also we caught a few bream and a very good size sand whiting. Here are some pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samos Posted November 3, 2005 Author Share Posted November 3, 2005 Nice effort. What bait for the fish ?? Pillies for the bream and squirt worms for the whiting. Also caught plenty of undersize whiting on the squirt worms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevvie Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Can anyone answer me this...partly cause i'm a little slow on the uptake... is it illegal to keep female crabs? or is that just when they just have eggs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damariboyz Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Holy sh*t Mudcrabbin you could use that as a forklift. Let me know what that crab tastes like I believe there is a great Muddy population in the Georges. I aint got a boat yet but if someone would drop a pot down where the Woronora meets the main water Id sure be interested in the results. Great Crab man Happy Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george.s Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Can anyone answer me this...partly cause i'm a little slow on the uptake... is it illegal to keep female crabs? or is that just when they just have eggs? It's legal to keep jennies in nsw as long as it hasn't got eggs but I dont . I always release all females. George. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pulse Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Hmmm... a bit sceptical about eating muddies from the georges, but hey for all i know those sold in the fish market could come from there. I've caught a few muddies in Dee why lagoon also, normally whilst prawning. Tears the cr@p out of your scoop net. Never eaten any though. just catch them, look at them for a while, let them go and wonder why i just wasted a 15 dollar scoop net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jocool Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Excellent George, tell me how easy is it to identify the eggs on the Jenny's. Russ Russ...all that orange colouring under the tail is its eggs! This is a good sized one I scored in Rose Bay couple of weeks ago. Took a squid bait.

damariboyz Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 very easy, tip the crab over and if she is carrying eggs you will see them under her tail. Just like a big clump of salmon roe. If you ever pump nippers you will also notice the females carry their roe under their tail - bright orange clumps. Thanks T,Broker I know exactly wat to look for now Happy Russ Hmmm... a bit sceptical about eating muddies from the georges, but hey for all i know those sold in the fish market could come from there.

Every body must stay next to the pots or they will be gooonnne before u know it. Hazza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stan Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Mud Crabbing, Stan again This is not an attempt to piss you or anyone else off, but I am wondering why after such a great haul in the Hawkesbury did you want to try the Georges? I only ask because if I'm onto something good I stick to it. P.S. that female was one huuuuge crab! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
