I cant give you too much of a roasting about the rope rosco as i was told to remind you but forgot myself. Got those new pots and are ready to set them up so it sounds like its time for a thousand beers and get them ready for next week. Might have to make it two thousand beers as we need to come up with a plan for the river pots for when we move.

Cheers Mick

good stuff Rosco. i love fishing from sep through to about march around redcliffe area, mainly cause i can throw the pots in all day while im fishin and get a feed of sandies no trouble at all... we got nice feeds every trip through those months last season cant wait to get stuck into em again soon.
Also, last season i was getting pretty much 10 or 12 males to every female, and nearly every male is legal sized which is great... does anyone know why this is?? do the girls just not feed as much as the boys? anyway hope the pattern continues

Here we go lets hope its a good season for crabbing hey rosco1974, if the couple of sandies I got up at Pumicstone a month ago are anything to go buy it may well be.

I think the scientific reason is as follows:

YOU ARE ONE LUCKY *****

I'm always hitting the opposite ratios.
