Good crabs mate, you were lucky that big fella nearly got you.

Yeah I reckon it would have taken that finger off too! 😁

How well did that Thermo cell work keeping the mozzies etc away?

[@OBM1770]

@@scottforan1261 they didn’t bother us out the back of that house when in use. I’m going to buy one for my next trip away.

[@garrybutler9030]

How were the stone crabs? Great vids with a good bunch of lads

[@OBM1770]

Thanks mate. Unfortunately we got back in too late so we ditched them at the ramp. Keen to give em a go. Plenty of them in all the pots. Strong little things, I could not open the claws on the one in yet video.

[@dannyhauritz9159]

Hey great vid can you tell me the make / model of the boat your crabbing out of looks like a little beast cheers

[@OBM1770]

That’s one of Aaron’s rigs. It’s a Cnc 4500 center console. Made by BTB marine at Hervey Bay. Great little boat!

[@stevepierce3509]

I lived in Cairns FNQ for 18 years having property also and can still not get my head around why Fisheries will not let you take Geni's in Qld mate. In the NT we can at a certain size and our Fishery is absolutely amazing and sustainable here. Its got me stuffed why QLD Fisheries does not look at the NT and move forward to sustain a better Fishery and a leaf out of the NT Book as Geni's once they get to a size , breed a few times and then die. Anyway I love ya trips Lad. Good stuff once again.

Cheers mate! 🍻

@@OBM1770 Mate, what's the 3rd episode called with the Boys trip so I can watch now? Just finished watching the Mudcrab episode with the boys.

[@HaydenDeacon-y4p]

A plastic plate upside down in the bait bag stops them from picking at it from underneath. Cheers

[@OBM1770]

Great solution! Cheers 🍻

[@stephenjeacocke1530]

25 yrs ago we got some big jacks out of that hole king tide ppl were walking around edges on area picking up fish with just landing net it’s definitely na good hole think everyone fished it

[@OBM1770]

So can you get to it at low tide?

[@andrewreis8877]

That Grego weber has got a funny head lol

[@rhayjhosie7443]

Use chicken and i bet you will get more crabs. I was fishing and crabbing in Karumba in the gulf and no one was getting many crabs so we only put our pots out the last two days we were there and cleaned up using old chicken we brought up from Sydney

Back in the 70s, we'd get 2 full sack bags for a weekend huge bucks

Would have been one hell of road in back then !

Hey legend, what's the stuff Old Mate was applying to his boat Please and do you think it works ? Thank you.

[@OBM1770]

It’s honestly too much work mate. I towed in with zero damage. Just got to go slow and protect them from rocks.

[@juliemanarin4127]

It is ridiculous that all the females have to go back! Some of them are old. Also how were the stone crabs?

[@OBM1770]

It was disappointing but we got back to ramp after dark so we let the stone/rock crabs go in case we ran out of time to cook. Next time fingers crossed. Curious as they are abundant in numbers.

[@brianostwald802]

Still not as good as the cape

[@OBM1770]

The cape is pretty special! We are organising a trip up next year again. Looking forward to it!
