My mate when I lived in Rocky has a cabin up there & believe me it is nothing like it used to be. 4 of us used to jump in the tinnie & set 2 crab pots at about 3am then go fishing all around the creek mouths & hit some bombies until around lunch then pick-up the pots & we would have easily between 10-12 crabs in each pot with a boat full of fish.
We used to do this every couple of months. But all the proffesional fisherman have made it nothing like it used to be. Now that isn't to say that you can't catch anything up there but it is nothing on what it used to be !!!!

unfortunately mate it is not just the pro's that ruin fishing for the rest of us.

[tariadamar]

mate the cape would be my best bet.

[Luxster]

Hang on a minute, just come back from the lake and have a couple of muddies boiling now! Just go and check them! brb!!!!

[Luxster]

Yep their done, now for the bluey's! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

[BrodieH]

At eden in nsw you will have to be lucky to catch those fish though, theres thousands of them in this little river we found with our tinny but we couldnt even get a nibble from them!

[Tomax]

There are still plenty of these spots in the Kimberley, believe me - some relatively easy to access, some not so easy.

[crawla]

NW WA baby:D and the crabs are bigger!! This was given to the neighbour by a couple of guys on our crew after a quick outing, LEFT OVERS.....I wasn't home:(....had some though:) Cape York is awesome too!!!

I'm not telling.











































because then everyone will be there.
The Cape is definately the pick of places to catch big fish, which is why we are headed to the gulf in October.

so do you......crabs that is.:D

[landcrusier ute]

woodgate in qld is like that hepas of fish on the reefs and the rivers are full of big bucks we go there every year and it hasnt chnged yet cause no one goes there

[gofour]

are we shure that the crabs you get from the corner shop are crab or are they flavoured whitefish and is the fish what they say it is or is it just hake

[Mikes F250]

I lived up in the Torres Straits for a yr & went fishing every weekend. Not sure about the crabs (plenty of crays), I'm no fishing guru, but i swear you only have to spit of the hook & wait 30 seconds. It is isolated with limited accommodation, but it is a magic spot.

[GOIN BUSH]

heres a pic of some muddies we caught up in the gulf 2 years ago.manangoora ne of borroloola,its a great place to set up camp and fish for a few weeks.

[Marc 1]

Shoalwater Creek in Qld. You have to stand behind a tree to bait your hook. One small catch, you have to join the army first and get a few days off during an exercise...:p

[GOIN BUSH]

bloody army-get all the good spots.

[GOIN BUSH]

thats the colour they come before you cook them,they were full mate full of sweet meat.cant beat a feed of freshly caught crab and the cost,free.:waycool:

LMAO:D

[dirtygq]

A good mudy is usually a purplish brown (used to do it for a living )
