Crabbing news.
Submitted by SPESS on Sat, 2008-11-01 15:30
Well with the purchase of the new tinnie i thought id try and get out to get some crabs. Ive been out 2 or 3 times now in the swan around mossy bay and claremont with some luck. Im finding pretty good num,bers at the moment but the sizes are the ones too watch. Plenty that are just size or just under with the occasional thumper chucked in for good measure.
The blueys are quite full for this time of the year as well which is always a good thing. Ive been dropping pots in anywhere from 20 to 5 metres with all producing the same results. I just thought id do a quick report as many people have been asking me how ive been going. So here we go. Hope this helps SPESS.

I took my nephews up to Mindarie Marina
for a fish recently and the place was alive with female crabs. After dark you couldn't get a bait down without a crab grasbbing it straight away.
