Evening River Cruise.
Submitted by NoWorries on Sun, 2008-07-13 04:10.
Took the boat for a quick cruise down the river last night, as we went past the Eshed I notice a heap of people there fishing away we ended up anchoring up to a public mooring in Blackwall Reach and I decided to chuck the crab nets out the back, in a couple of hours I had caught 5 good size crabs, fortunatley for them 
they were females and i let them all go to breed. One was huge and didn't really want to swim back down, just kept swimming on the surface around the back of the boat (maybe I should have used the release weight LOL).
Bloody great night on the river but only a couple of boats out there.

Nah
I was allways taught to chuck the breeders back, just something my grandad believed in and I have followed suit.
