Crabbing in Busselton?

Hi Guys!

 

Im planning to go down south end of this month, most probably busselton. Has anyone done crabbing around that area? If so, please give me some tips on locations. I dont have a boat, so scoop net is kinda my only option. Im not familliar with busselton area also, so if you guys could give me enough detail for location for me to put into my gps to find it, that'll be very good!

 

cheers!

I ate a bunch of crabs some 8yr old kids caught on the siesta park jetty with drop nets so there are other ways into them!

I also freedive for them in perth, does anyone else do that down there?

Where is usually about anywhere that is shallow and sandy!

my wife is a dab hand with a scoop net and can get her limit while i beach fish for an hour or two. Anywhere off the Busso to Dunsborough coastline - ie 20 - 100m out if you have a boat and you can dive just about anywhere for them.
