70lb barra bait.

Post by cuddlescooper »

what is the biggest cherapine you have seen? This is a question I ask as I these are the 2 biggest ones that I personally have caught. They are the same lenght as 1.25l coke bottle body lenght. The nippers where that again +. got some good red claws as well to top it off. Very good dinner.

Got a few at the Roper that size... Biggest I've seen anywhere! Body was the length of my forearm and almost as round as a coke can.

The smaller 10-15cm jobies are awesome! I prefer them over prawns... I don't tend to feed em to barra as i'd rather eat them myself!

Eat the body and use the heads for bait, get the best of both worlds. Those big heads leak a poop load of stuff, they get scoffed pretty quick
