More Restrictions

Heard on the 6PR fishing show this morning that the daily bag limit for crabs is to be cut to 5 for the entire Southwest bioregion.
Apparently this is to simplify things as it is already 5 for the Swan River and Cockburn Sound.
Death by a thousand cuts, bit by bit we are losing what we love doing.

While it does suck, I'm
While it does suck, I'm actually happy with 5 crabs... its generally a 2 person type of scenario with drop nets which gives you 10 crabs if you can find them
ive spoken to a few people over the years about crabs & a lot of people don't go to the effort to extract all the meat. One guy I worked with only took the big chunk from the swimmer/paddle muscle & the claws... that's half the crab gone in the bin!!?!?
