there is a lot of crabs down hear they are all about 50m off shore not to far out. alot of small ones but there are big ones around. most of them are female with the odd blue. i have been catching them at siester park.
there's a bit of a mix. I went for a freedive for them last week on the hot day and got 8 blueys in 45mins. If you hit a good patch you should get your bag in an hour or 2.
Busselton is renown for predominantly females for some reason, fisheries done a bit of research on why that the case too. I usually catch 90% jennies and only 1 or 2 blue boys each time. Dont worry me much because the females are usually chocka with meat.
