Evening All
Does anyone know what is happening on the crab ban in Cockburn Sound, is it due to be opened at all??
Whilst talking Cockburn, just got home after a squid session, caught a feed of good size squid on the western side of Cockburn sound

Crawling with them
Over at Garden Island about this time last year looking for squid and the shallow weed banks were crawing with them. And yes lets please keep the pro catch to a minimum or better still dont bring them back. They are happy doing other things now so let them stay there. But all in all it dosnt matter all that much, because when Cockburn becomes the next Fremantle harbour it will be knacked in no time. Sorry guys for that forcast ,hope I am wrong. Cheers
