Yes, that's the animal. The one in the vid had lost both claws and was just wandering around in the mangroves before walking down a hole.

Maybe a specific forum for Crabbing, Squidding and Prawning.
Maybe Justjack will share the secret of his homemade pheromone bait that is so effective he won't use it anymore
Perhaps we could be the "Inebriated Invertibrate Investigators"

Hi Poeople's, I had a thought about the governments handling of the crab pot design & suggested changes, and I think there is too many people throwing in thier 2 bobs worth for the government to ever make a decission.
So I reckon we should help them by possibly calling ourselves ECO (Environmental Crustacean Organization) then if bugs or prawns or other ever become an issue we got it covered.

Its the details, those little details, that make the difference.
I couldn't agree more. A peak crabbing body doesn't currently exist and with changes coming then the general public won't have a voice. Personally though, I'd be in it just to share info, stories and beers.
Not all public servants are lazy. I'm one. I'd go into more depth but I couldn't be bothered at the moment.
Well peoples it look like we got a blend of ideas for a name for the club, and if we
get a broader point of view it could be good, but these are the best 2 I could come up with.
C. Crustacean
R. Resolution
&
A. Advancement
B. Body
CLUB
or
E. Evironmental
C. Crustacean
O. Organisation
CLUB
I dont know how to put this in to a poll, or a better position to get more feedback
Mike
PS I would like to make a blend of every name put forward.
Good-ay Alex,
All that you have spoken is correct & I feel if a full set of instructions were aplied to the pots it may also help.
However our environment in most cases requires a certain amount of weight to be sure of them sitting where you put them & not drifting in the current.
I am a balanced enviro recognising the need between protecting & partaking in the resources this great country of ours has to offe, so I am bias to caution in every aspect.
I'm sorry
Mike
Would love to see a crab chat board for tips and to support responsible crab practices.
I think with most pots that go floating away, it's due to inexperience and when you don't know what you're doing or learning you usually learn the hard way.
Some new standards on "floats" or even some policing would be good. Sick of seeing 600ml pump water bottles etc. Last night we saw a one litre dark blue oil bottle (thankfully before we ran over it)
I am in and can't wait for the DVD. I bought a boat a few months ago and well lets just say I hate fishing and always love loading the boat up with pots.
Plus 1 for ECO name as well. if there is anything that I can do to help just send me a PM
