| On Saturday I fished just beyond the 4wd sign on PINS and there were a few whole dead crabs on the beach with an assortment of body parts floating in the first gut. Managed to a catch 21" red and a small shark on cut mullet. |

either a kill from the upwelling/cold currents and dirty water (clogs their gills), or cull from the shrimpers. _________________
