Thread: Crayfishing for chumps

Two more pots almost finished . Trying to experiment on how deep the sides need to be . Going on commercial pots big is good . I hope to test over weekend

Had a go at the king fish down the boulder bank last night Munsey, onto them for a start then another boat with diver turned up and scared them off. Not having a sounder I just trolled round blindly for 2 hours to no effect.

There was some hands on hips lemon sucking lady watching me drive up the bank, maybe it is not allowed I don't know but the next big tide will remove all trace of my prints.

Must be some good ones about , spoke to a mate. Yesterday , his dad lost a "horse " fishing on the other side of bay . His girlfriend "balls up " the gaffing of it ,at the boat , suffice too say he does not have a girlfriend anymore ! .
I would have thought the b/bank be hard work too drive down ? Maybe the sour woman owned the local tractor and was pissed you not get stuck ?

Na I have a four wheel drive not a sheep shagger lol.
Got one on but only a rat, didn't really have the gear for the job for trolling, had a jig that probably would have gone alright but lost the school.

Committed otherwise at the moment (and in the dogbox) Weeknights are difficult. Next week am off so should be able to do morning or afternoon before / after you finished work but the weathers bound to upset plans

Cool will keep it in mind then.
