...the crabs should be going off...well worth the effort, but just remember your fishing from a boat license if you're using the boat to catch the crabs, or if you are using it to get to a place to catch crabs!
If you are prepared to put in a lot of time and move around a fair bit you can get a feed (remember limited to 10 crabs) but you will encounter a hell of a lot of undersize blueys.
Please return the undersize crabs unharmed and as quickly as possible so they have a chance of getting bigger. A hell of a lot of crabs I'm seeing at night in the shallows have a claw or legs missing.
Got bucket loads of undersized ones today in the Harvey Estuary. Came away with 8 sized ones and got smashed by the roaring southerly. January will be awesome
