thanks for posting

going up there in a few days time hopefully we will do half as well as you guys did

did u guys get any crabs on the surf? was thinking of throwing out a crab snare on a surf rod and seeing if we can get any

thanks

No crabs in the surf that I'm aware of but there wasn't a heap of time with one of our baits actually in the water. If you have a 9' combo capable of casting 50g bring that along and spin metals, I out fished the bait fisherman on the beach by a substantial margin.

With what seemed to be a great Weekend and a good range of catch. My question to you, pitching the Swag at 2am, how many times did the thumb cop a wacky.


Cheers, Bugatti

The swag was pitched meaning rolled out and a peg at either end pushed into the ground with my foot.

Well done Alex.
How do you like the lowrance in the yak?
Considering a sounder for mine either Lowrance orHummingbird

Some nice fish there guys, got the estuary trifecta too. cracker bream and even better on surface. that's certainly going to be a hard one to top.
i need to dust off the bream gear hasn't been used in a long time..

you can catch the sand crabs off the surf beach, but obviously not on slugs hahaha.

Maz I think you did rather well this time, surprisingly well pegged out.

i think we are bringing a couple big rods up for the surf.
I made a couple DIY crab snares to test out so hopefully there are crabs around and we are able to get on some
