hey crew
can you get these supposed tasty crusteceans land based up there?
can you walk mud flats with a hook and get them out of there holes? if so could you pm me some areas
and also if kept iced will they survive a drive back to perth? stopping at carnarvon for a night or is it better to cook them up there?
cheers scott.

crabs can't be freezed. they
crabs can't be freezed. they don't taste good after that. they have to be alive until u wanna cook them for optimum taste!

check the tides, get a hook
check the tides, get a hook or gaff and follow a spring tide out and walk the flats behind Searipple Village, you may get one or two there, tried the pots last week and came up with nothing. a drive to Cowrie Cove on the low could yeild some also

dont know any spots upthat way
but we bring back a few each year when we go to onslow , we just stick them in a esky with a wet heshian bag over them to keep them wet and every now and then just re wet the bag but just make sure u use salt water not tap water as the fresh water kills them pretty quick they wil live 2or 3 days like that

Low tide
as brucesta says, walk the flats at low tide, I have some secret spots that will get me a crab every time but I'm not about to go giving away any hard earned spots!!
