Exmouth Marina Crabs?
Submitted by kinga86 on Tue, 2019-10-08 18:06
Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone has had any success inside the marina? Am staying at one of the marina palaces for a couple weeks and have own jetty so was wondering if it would be worth hanging a couple of nets over the side.
Cheers

crabs
Blue Manna/Swimmer crabs are Australia wide.Should be mud crabs as well.In Townsville in the 80,s I drop netted the Ross river and if you went near the ocean I would get blue crabs.A few times I caught blue and mud in the same drop net
just do it.

Thanks guys. I know the
Thanks guys. I know the crabs are hot up there but will have limited access to a boat so it will mostly be shore based. Thats why I thought id give my jetty a go in the marina.

not sure about the eating
not sure about the eating sort, but if u r near the marina, u can catch the rock crabs, and whack them out on some heavy line near the mouth at night, and can get some suprisingly big bluebone.

Kinga Krabs?
Hey Kinga
Out of curiosity did you hang a crab net over at your house in the Marina? How did you go?
I go boating not fishing
