crab scooping along Siesta Park or Abbey Beach area of Busso

 G'Day all

Heading down Busso way over the next weekend and am thinking about taking the little bloke for a scoop in the evening along those beachs out front of the Holy Mile.. I was thinking about staking out some fish frames or sticking some in a bag so the rays don't clean them up and then scoop for crabs if they come in.. That's the plan... now, are there any crabs about or are we wasting our time???  if there are no crabs about I'll leave the scoops and get the little guy on to some herring down Dunsborough way..

Cheers...

 Being early March, there should still be plenty of crabs about.

I was down there on the labour day long weekend a couple of weeks back. We launched the boat at the Abbey ramp, and dropped pots around the Abbey beach and Seista Park area. But we didn't catch anything, didn't even see any females or undersized ones.

I don't know if I was really unlucky or what. It was pretty windy that weekend, so I don't know if that puts the crabs off.
