Another Simpson Reef hat trick

following my 2018 motto: "bottom fish early and often", I spent the day at Simpson Reef.

Nice haul again and nice conditions, too!

Nice!

here is that moment of concern when after a 3 hour soak, there are only about 9 crab in your first pot. (hands up if you have pulled one like this in an estuary and had them all be just under legal size)

followed quickly by a smile when they are all male and keepers, 7 ended up being between 6" and 6.5" (the commercial boats have harvested just about everything over 6.25").

second trap had more in it but same keeper count of 7.

rogerdodger with the puck crosses the blue line! One defender in front of him. He shakes & bakes with outstanding puck control! He gets a step past the defender, backhander stick side ("He Shoots!")........"HE SCORES!!!!!!!!!!" " Rogerdoger with the ocean hat trick"

Well played sir!
