Grabbed the kids and cheese and kisses on Monday morning to go and get a feed of crabs. Got to Buff Creek around 8am to find the line up past the secure parking area. After a quick wonder and spotting 5 or 6 boats sitting on the sand bar and the bottom of the ramp about 450mm out of the water I made the call to head over to Nightcliff ramp. In the water and cruizing across Lee point and into little hope in about 35 mins. Dropped the pots and 10 nice crabs for 1.5 hrs and across the water back to the ramp. A very nice few hours with the family and a couple of crabs for the effort.

"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"

The ones who fight for their beliefs are those who achieve their dreams.
Can we just take the warning stickers off everything and let natural selection take its place, I mean if its spinning fast dont put your fingers in it..... Its not hard
cooked and eaten buddy i got them done eventually i just need more practice

Just sink a rum can or 2 for courage, then use your new found lightning reflexes to grab each claw simultaneously and then do as you please with the sea cockroach.
Just keep a bucket of water nearby coz if he does get ya he wont wanna let go. If you put him in the water he should just drop off.
Anyway thats for next time.
Fishing in the top end isn't just a matter of life or death, it's much much more serious than that.
