[jaybee]

yeh craigie the photos of the muddies were mainly for u as i remember sending you a instant message. Bro is still sitting here and saying with the jennies 4 or 5 at a time the same size just tipped the pot upside down to empty it. The big rusty bugger he says was the most agro crab he has come across in 40 yrs, and virtually chased him around the ice box till he could scoop him up an throw him on the ice to settle him down. He says next time he will arrange a trip with u to go crabbing either here or down bruns.
cheers
joe.

Jaybee,

Yes that big one is a most impressive crab, cost ya $40+ if you had to buy it.

Always keen for a Crabbing trip, Thanks for thinking of me.

Had been getting a few in the Brissie River before Easter, then went to Turkey Beach (south of Gladstone) for Easter and scored well on the Muddies (will post a report when photos are developed).

Keep up the good work mate,

Craig.

Hi Mack
okie fish was filletted cut some up into fish fingers / bites, bloody beautiful, deep fried in garlic bread crumbs (anchor brand if u need to know) Just as good as snapper, marlin but doesnt beat the maori cod or red emproer.
cheers
