was a lazing afternoon spent on the boat moored by the coombs yesterday.

in between the naked entertainment on neighbouring boats i did observe 4 boats working that area.

from about 30 nets and numerous pulls only saw one landed.

I'm guessing those entertainment boats went by and out of sight or you probably would have never noticed any crabbers....

tuesday managed 20 size most 15mm over and about the same undersize from 10 pulls 10 nets, crabs are still a bit light and usually get our limit in 5 or 6 pulls but they are there if you look for them. also tailor busting up everywhere but couldnt hook one go figure.
