Hillarys crays

 Just an observation,  but has anyone from  Hillarys noticed a big drop in cray catches in the last couple of days? I am in 16 - 19m behind the 3.

 We have gone from well over our bag and picking the biggest to only six this morning. The drop off has happened in the last two days. Fishing off Mindarie back of the three mile.

Moved the pots deeper today so fingers crossed for tomorrow

 Yep we have had a dramatic drop too. 16 Monday from 2 pots, 16 Wednesday from 4 pots, 7 Friday from 4 pots and 4 today from 3 pots, our last pot is MIA, hate to say it but I think that pot os gone for good, spent an hour and a half lookin for it today.

I'm moving mine around now looking for better areas, if I can't find any more by next weekend then I'm gonna bring mine in.

 Yeah less crays means more pots getting tampered with. We couldn't find one of ours today, fingers crossed its not gone missing. Was pretty bumpy and a lot of white caps tho so a bit harder to spot.
