Hearsons Mud Crabbing
Submitted by mcollier_84 on Thu, 2011-07-07 09:14
We have a dog who thinks himself as a bit of a crab hunter!! In 3 trips to hearsons chasing mud crabs he has found 5 crabs for us. Who needs to walk around aimlessly looking for the crabs when you can send the pooch to do it for you! I think more people should try this method of catching crabs, it serves two purposes the dog gets to have great fun chasing crabs and you get a feed!! The crab on the left in the pic was a monster with enough meat in its claws to feed half of karratha!
And yes the pooch is available for hire.....
Happy Fishing!

Ouch!
I think we would lose our hunter if he got to close to one of those! dont think he would be in a rush to find another...

you have to walk a fair way
you have to walk a fair way around the corner on a low tide towards the small island. You aren't really in hearsons anymore once you get amongst the crabs.

I work a 12/9 swing and on my R&R Im at Hearsons prob 80% of those days either swimming or paddling and I have never seen anything. I know there have been sightings down there in the past and most seem to be down the far end near the mangroves. Im pretty sure your safe as houses there in regards to crocs mate especially at high tide when the water is crystal clear! I reckon one every 2 or 3 years drifts down and gets lost. The sign prob goes up after 1 sighting and never gets taken down.

There is that big log that sits out near the mangroves at low tide its in the middle of no where and i have to admit it did look alot like a croc the first time I saw it! Bet people get excited about that on occasion.
