Crabbing
Submitted by Biggo on Mon, 2009-12-28 14:18
Went scooping for crabs down Mandurah way last week. Caught heaps, but they were all about 5mm too small. I ended up bring home two that were legal size - Just enough for a crab sandwich.
Is anybody else finding legal size crabs around, or is it still a bit early

Well done Ryan
we have no problems getting a feed in the sound. I think the secret is to keep refreshing your bait.

crabs!
Yeh we lost some bait at the beggining and agree about topping up the bait. Spleen being my fav!
Went walking the shallow flats last night down at the Peel and got our bag limit of crabs. Many undersize around but had no probs in getting bigger/legal ones, enjoyable evening!
