Eshed!!!

 Hi, 

Went to eshed on Friday night with fresh scalies. Bout 20-25 of them. Started fishing bout 9.30-4.30 only to get smashed by crabs. All the scalies went to the crabs!! I have done this a few times at eshed to get the same result. If not crabs then eagle rays!! I don't mind a fight with an eagle ray once in while though. Can anyone tell me if they have the same result and those who have had great success at eshed, any pointers would be great! Cheers.

I used to catch alot of stingrays, until i made my leader alot longer and it does seem to work! but obviously make sure you dont over do it, as too much leader can be hard to cast

 Cheers guys, I've got my leader about 1 mtr long and I had three of those scalies alive, they did keep those crabs of them for a bit but still the crabs got to them. I think as they start to die the crabs get them. Appreciate all the suggestions fellas!!!
