Mandurah Crabbing

Submitted by Matt_McCarthy on Fri, 2011-12-23 18:04

Hey, Just wondering what the situation is with crabs in Mandurah as im heading down there for New Years. Has anyone been getting any of good size in the estuary lately? Will be using drop nets and scooping.

Cheers

Matt

 stayed close to Dawesville and out from the Serpentine. Worked hard for 14 size crabs in 5 hours/. Loads of just undersize and berried females.

 

Good fun day though. Chilli crab for xmas.
