Cray Session



Date:
29 Dec 18
Weather: Warm, overcast
Crew: Dave, Bilsy
Target Fish: Crays
Bait: BBQ steak
Gear Used: Line, no hook
Catch: 6 (took 4 home)
Report: Been meaning to head out for a dedicated cray session for a while. Walked about 50 m upstream from the car, threw in the first line and hooked up a dirty eel in about 3 seconds. Saw a monster cray immediately after, spent about 30 mins trying to get him. Set about 6 lines, checked every 20 mins or so. Bilsy pulled in the first one straight after throwing the line in. We changed our approach, pulled in all set lines and decided to target specific spots. Next cray pulled was a monster, was a two man job to land him. Ended up taking 4, all caught within about hour. Could have easily bagged out. Saw a fight between an eel and a cray, and saw a couple of river black fish. Was a fun session. 

Boiled for about 8 mins, eaten with a bit of lemon. Delicious!

Report: 9/10
