 Has anyone been getting many crabs in the swan? 

Had a little bash yesterday near the narrows and had no luck.

Lower reaches mate in deeper water around Mosman Bay and early mornings in particular.

The upper reaches around Narrows normally fires more so end of Jan/Feb.

Good luck.

 I got my bag freediving

 I got my bag freediving Tuesday night. Was hard work initially as were not in the numbers I usually see and found them usually hanging round the ground tackle of moorings

Found a small mussel bed towards the end of the dive would have been 40-50 of them feeding on it. Easily topped up the bag once found the mother load
