Logan River Crabbin

[oddbudman]

Hit the Logan at first light to crab the incoming tide. We put the pots and dillies out near the mouth and did pretty ok - managed 10 sandies and 1 nice sized buck. Also picked up a breambo throwing some plastics around to kill the time.

Looking forward to lunch :)

Good work Oddbudman!!!

Sounds like you are getting the crabbing sussed out. What worked better, the dillies or pots? Great to see Dave getting amongst it as well!

The dillies worked pretty well, we were running them right at the mouth. The pots we put along the mangrove stretch just east of Marks Rocks.

The Pots caught the muddie, and a few of the sandcrabs. With the dillies accounting for around 7 of the sandies. The Dillies are a bit more work because we would have to check them more frequently, and often the crabs were getting pretty badly tangled. But on the whole I think the dillies worked best. I think my muddie skills with the pots still need some work, but todays result was encouraging.

Todays secret bait was chicken frames.

I sure hope the crabs are out in force over the coming week - fingers crossed.

Good Luck with the voyage tomorrow JOM. Hopefully your boat adds another species to the deck.

Good to see your new tune on crabbing and huge effort on those sandies & a buck...A toasted switch sand fill with those crab meat is my No. 1

Good Catch, glad the spot paid off. getting closer to the mangroves at high tide will give you more muddies and less sandies, but you need to watch the tide and have a shallow draught cos area dry at low tide.

well done !

Thanks for the tip Cartblank. I'll try and get those pots closer next time - i was running them a little wide.
