its usually very difficult during the day - they come out and are less shy at night

Sunrise is Best
Best time to dive for crabs in the Sound is at Sunrise. Gets a bit chilly but its worth doing it at that time...............

Swan
I'd be going in the swan Russ - heard there's a few about. Probably give it a go myself tonight if I can get my hung over mate out and about. I'll let you know how we go.

Around woodies point is
Around woodies point is pretty good, as people have said, first thing in the morning is best before they head out deeper. Got a few snorkling off there a couple weeks back. It's been scooping time the last couple weekends for me tho, got 27 last weekend, 23 this weekend. Very tastey indeed! That wasn't at woodmans tho.
