After a few weeks looking for the hot weather and some good fishing spots, we have had 10 days a Tumby bay and caught 1 squid off the jetty, 2 nights at Pt Lincoln and caught nothing, 1 night at Dutton bay and caught 1 whiting.
Now at top touristCeduna for 2 days and caught 10 blue swimmers and I don't know what the attraction is, easy to catch but to clean and cook them and then try to find the meat??? over it and don't think I will bother again
Give me red claw any day

Ken cook crabs in salt water, put on ice an hour or so, rip off shell, cut into 1/4's with machette or similar, separate 1/4's and clean out crap (lungs etc), wash and eat.

I think you must be talking about Mud Crabs Baz.

For Bluies, boil salt water, drop in crabs, bring back to boil then leave in for 4 - 5 minutes. Remove & drop into cold (iced is good) water.

Tear back (top) of shell off, remove & rinse all loose "crap (lungs etc" then they are ready to eat.

They break open very easilly by hand, start with the swim flipper & a large chunk of meat comes with it, then every other bit of meat is gold.

Yummie, getting a hunger again now..ha ha

Don't forget to get a feed of fresh Pacific Oysters while there, also yummie.

I think the local beaches have razor fish too. Very nice indeed.

biggrin Yes , verry nice, BUT....be aware of the bag limits. Also, head over to Smoky Bay and get your oysters for around $7 a dozen , fresh and unshucked direct from the boat

Looks like we missed a few items, but had a crab meat omelete for lunch and was ok
john you must be peeved that no keepers, but happy hour stories must have been good

went back to the pier and only got 3 crabs, so being a gentleman gave them to a fellow traveller to get him started
Will head off across the Nullabor tomorrow, so another journey starts

Hello John and thanks for keeping an eye on the place

We are heading back as Lyn has been crook and does not want to keep going, so the holiday is coming to an end

Will catch up for a drink when we get home

Sorry to hear she got crook, we well know that situation as our last trip round the block seemed like a 'hospital crawl'. We couldn't seem go past one.

Sorry to see you trip has been shortened Ken.
Lyn will be ok once she gets home.
