Crabs in the swan

Down in the swan last week - couple of crabs. Loving the river atm, bloody nice even at 10pm with a wettie. Blues are just starting to get to size but in a month or so they will be the beautiful. Got them in about 5m and missed quite a few. Nothing like a fresh crab BBQ in the middle of the night after a good dive.

When i was doing a dive course years ago,,we did a night dive and got some crabs,,the chinese instructor cooked them in a wok back at the dive shop.

I would kill to get the recipe for the sauce that was used,,you have never tasted crabs so good,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Hi! Nice Catch! Is it possible to catch em from land with nets? I can't dive and have no boat. How far up the river will the crabs move?
