Hi all.

I have just come back from a few days camping in Mandurah.  We caught a lot of crabs, and threw a lot back!!!  So many just under size means we'll head back in a few weeks time.

On day one, we only got one size, and threw about twenty back.  It was his lucky day because I wasn't going to the trouble of cooking one crab, so we released him before we headed in.

I was told that night there were a few in the harvey estruary, so we headed down that way on day two.  as we approached the four poster there were boats and nets everywhere so we went about about another half mile south and got five nice sized crabs in about as many runs.  the wind blew up fron the north making it pretty uncomfortable so we headed back north of the cut where it was sheltered but only got undersized ones, so five was it for the day.  i must say these were very clean and white inside after they were cooked.

Day three, and the first of the strong early sea breezes.  we were out late so didn't go far or stay long, but we did get six nice sized crabs immediately to the north of the red channel markers outside the serpentine river mouth.

While we packing up yesterday, someone told me he had got 19 the evening before over in boggy bay.

As far as the fishing goes, i only went out one morning a couple of miles west of the cut, but only got a few bites and didn't get anything more.
