long time between reports as i havent been out much but did get 2 days in this week. opes, taylor and myself went out to shoal bay saturday arvo for a crabbing trip and the arvo started very slow we got to the ramp a little early and had to wait an hour or so to have enough water to drop opes boat in. underway out of buff creek was very slow indeed as there was bugger all water we ended up doing some bottom mowing of the mud but managed to get out past the entrance and on our way.hit shoal bay and dropped the pots and kicked back for 10 then checked them. first round pull was great with 8 muddies boated of size and one pot had was a five potter . high fives allround and although only three were size it was still a good sight to see. we left the run a little late on moving the pots for the second round but still managed but managed three more good size crabs for that pull. we decided on one more go and moved the pots closer to the boat ramp and scored a massive crab that had me shyting myself for a while as when i was shacking him into the esky i dropped the pot and the thing was mad as hell i was thinking if he gets one of us its gunna hurt but luckily bogas are a wonderful thing headed back to the ramp and was out of the water by 7 is so not a bad arvo all in all
