Headed out early, well 5.30 am so not that early, with the Wife and Daughter to pull the pots before the wind.  We have the “red hunters” a bit deeper and generally fish the ground around the pots before or after you pull them.  You don’t get the quantity of the whites run but a few crays and an excuse to fish works for me.

I have pulled the pots a couple of times, and they hadn’t been “pulled”.  An interesting observation was we got 6 crays on the first pull and they were all female (2 could be kept), and then today (2 days later) we got another 6 but they were all male (4 could be kept – one was just remains due to an occy but was male).  Today seems like a mix of a white with the reds as well?

The wind was in about 7am so we headed closer.  Lots of sand whiting at the back of the 3 Mile at the moment, as seems to happen at this time of year, so we set a target at a dozen and it didn’t take long.

How good is a place where you can go for a couple of hours with the family and bring this home, to be eaten fresh on the day they were caught!

I was a little surprised by the amount of boats launching when we came in given the deteriorating wind conditions, and the strong wind warning for later in the day?
