Mandurah Crabs

 Hi Guys

 

Heading to Mandurah tomorrow with a small runabout and some nets.

 

Has any one had any luck this week. Never been down that way before chasing them. 

 

Any help appreciated

You have to be on the water early (before 0700) or you are going to be doing it hard,. alternatively go crabbing late in the afternoon put up with a little bit of chop if the breeze is in (after 1700).

Places to try, the science platform or near the mouth of some of the canals but not in them or the mouth to them A lot of just 1 - 2mm under size around at the moment please handle with care when putting back them so they get a chance to grow to size or bigger.
Good luck

Peter,Paul & Mary song "were have all the flowers gone"

Mandurah song sung to same music, were have all the crabs gone, gone out to sea every one, because of cold water coming down from the heavy rains we have had.

I hope I'm wrong, we will find out pretty quick if all this run off sends them out to warmer water in the ocean, and lately they were of a good size.
