Me and a few work mates caught these crabs last weekend dropping nets out near boggy bay in the estuary.  We got our 20 in about 2 hours.  nothing too big but a couple of good ones.  It was good fun, especially for the other guys who don't get to go out much at all.  And for my 3 year old son who thinks he is the crabbing King now!  We had a great feed. That's about the 6th time this season we have bagged our limit.  I love the blue swimmers.  There are heaps down there and surprisingly quite full this year too.  Notice the old Metters cooker too. They just don't build em like they use to.  This thing is a beast for cooking 20 crabs.  About 30 mins all up including lighting the fire!

The photos of the Marron is from our Logue Brooke trip on the first night of the season.  The photos aren't that good but it was a pretty good size.  Just over 100mm from memory.  Unfortunately the wind came up before the big ones came out making it near impossible to snare for the buggers.  You could hardly see them let alone the wire nooses we were using.  It was a fluke I was able to get that one.  It was still good fun even though we only got two sized ones for the night.  I ended up letting them both go later in the night after we realised the wind was going nowhere in a hurry.  Wasn't worth cooking up two marron we thought.
