 watching the troops crabbing we have decided to wait. But that is just a judgement. You can normally tell  how good the crabbing is by how many boats are out, and how long they stay on a run. Not many so far, and the Pros have not been seen launching at Bouvard Ramp as they do when its "on".

I walked the flats infront and to the north of the Leprechuan Deli chucking poppers for whiting and have seen very few.

Hope this helps, but I might pack the boat and head out on Sunday for a cruise and drop some nets, even if only for fun and getting out there.

No shortage of crabs but they were all well well undersized

I noticed a lot of dead small ones, not sure why that'd be

 

Nice to go with family but if you're after a feed i'd give it a miss unless there's bigger ones towards mandurah
