Think most people should wait until after xmas before they have a crack :)

Let them get bigger.

They get raped early when they are only just size, but crabs grow rapidly when the weather and water is hot

MMmmmm?  I'll let you know how we go the weekend after next?  I wonder how the stocks would be after having a total ban for a full year or two?  The whole estuary gets raped and pillaged every year but there is always a few about the following year?

Now it's not just humans that are 'raping' the crabs down there - not good news at all. I say keep an eye out for the little buggers and report them

Shit!  That's not cool at all.  If they do take over, I hope they're as nice to eat as the Blueys.
