Ribs Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Making a point to be on the water more often with the kids of late, teaching my Young fella how life can/should be instead of the rat race we all have to endure each week , well he's a good learner ( must take after the mother ). Crabie as he is affectionately known as was picked up During the week by the young fella going 1.5kg, flaty frame bait left over night, high fives all round. This morning on HT whilst reeling in a blade I casted out for him whilst mucking around with a pot , this 45cm lizard jumped on, even though I landed it, still his fish. Drifted to same patch trying to outbeat him I hooked a serious croc however my 6lb Silly string was cut off at the leader and lost my blade? Chilli mud crab for me and the Mrs and tempura battered flaty fillets for the kids whilst watching the V8's. Cant complain ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest123456789 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Well done mate!! Nice feed there. Where’s the best place to set pots? I’m guessing the weed line around 3 metre mark? Never caught a crab in a trap (and probably never will it’s bannec where I fish). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam bros Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Awesome work. Great to see young kids getting into fishing. Sometimes wonder if there will be any future fishos, if everyone is glued to their phones all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it safe to eat muddies up in the George's? I don't eat anything west of Alford's pt bridge, the Georges has improved over the last few years imo, so it is better, but like any system in Sydney , pollution , waste dumping, sewage overflows, people etc etc is always a concern.
