Last year's cray season was probably the skinniest I seen in nearly 10 years...
A mate of mine who's now the marine parks ranger in Exmouth and was previously senior ranger @ The Rock confirmed that the "experts" are expecting 2007/08 to be just as shyte!
I really feel for the frontline of the industry (the crayfishermen) as you'd have to question the viability of starting the engines?
Did anyone notice the unusually high number of charter boats in the last 6-12 months???
Cheers,
