Yep, Borumba a couple of weeks ago, and North Pine off the bank as well.
Heard a whisper Sommeset was firing from a very reliable source who picked up 300 on a week end just been.

Plenty in NPD and Somerset, you just need to try a few spots and also be on the lookout for theives who steal the redclaw from hardworking people.

You will get more at night or heavily overcast days than during the daylight.

Ok, thanks, a few old tree stumps with weedy bottom would be ideal I reckon.

I'll stick to rockmelon. Even if it costs $4.00 each, 1/8th of it will go into a few pots
