i think you are going to find it a bit rough (the weather that is) there are crabs still at mandurah but you will need to move around to find them. if one spot is not producing the goods move don't waist time hoping they will turn up.  they won't you have got to move around and find them.

Try east side of estuary opposite the cut entrance

Crabbing Wednesday

 I got my 10 crabs yesterday but it was hard work. Moved 3 times over about 3 hours. Got some shallow & some deep. From the conversations at the ramp it seems i did better than most so I reckon the season is just about over.
