Crabs in mandurah
Submitted by wadetolley on Mon, 2009-02-23 10:57
Hi guys wondering if anyone has noticed how bad the crabbing has slowed down in the peel inlet in the last couple of weeks? Spent all day on the water sat for 15 crabs. We had 3 boats 20 nets, and spent inbetween pulls snorkeling. There was stuff all around....looks like its been raped!

the kayak crabbos were doing well about 4-6 weeks ago in the Swan but dropped off gradually since then,,mirroring mandurahs take,,,,so its the same everywhere i believe,,,
