Redclaw in Winter

[bondy99]

Well my hearties and shiver mi timber, went onto the cold waters of the dams to place a few traps as everyone keeps sayin there's no redclaw in cold water, . After 2 hours managed to get 60 on 4 pots, my B spot fired up

Redclaw for tea, breakie and lunch followed with amber fluid

Pics of redlaw to follow soon

G'day Baz,

Thanks mate, best bait is good old rock melon, cant go wrong, if you use any type of meat then you're going to get pesky fish and maybe an eel in your trap.

Pero, Fairbairns sounds good, might be the place to soak some pots for a few days

There were possibly a few share farmers on the dam though.

I had one pot completly destroyed (brand new pot) and one left open. Bloody mongrels!

G'day Darylive,
Yeah those thieving bastards. A person needs to be out there with a bazooka and blow the mongrels out of the water

Last year I'm sure there was some of our pots were raided also.

I'd like to invest in those submersable floats (it was on the inventors) a year or two ago, they sink to the bottom by radio control fequency, press the other button and they rise to the surface.

If costs came way down then yeah that would be the way to go, Just make sure the GPS is working properly at the time.

Cheers, Peter

Well well well look what a big daddyo of the canyon produced for me with the diet of melon on a plate yesterday at "Spot B"

The clicking message is getting around in this labrynth lair of the redclaw world saying watch out for melon man by the time old reddy knows it its too
late and into the jacuzzi it goes.
