Swan River Bream and Crabs May
Hey guys,
Its my first time posting, ive been a avid follower for a good 2 years but for some odd reason i could not get my account to start.. this time however.. it worked! 
Anyways, ive spent this month teaching my mum how to fish, it was my mothers day gift to her.. i dont usually fish the swan but this is the best way to get a newbie to enjoy the thrills of fishing.
We headed out the the river 3 times and all three times it has been productive. Mums first fish was a whopper 35cm bream.. which obviously annoyed me cos all i got was weed and twigs 
this was up stream in the Valley. Have a look at the
gills of the bigger one.. check out the reflection..scared the hell out of me!
The second time out,we fished the jetties in the nedland and mosman area and it yielded good size bream and big crabs. The bream went 30-36cms and the crabs averaged about 18cm.
The other night we headed out again, but this time with about 5 mates and it got us this!
Theres a few monsters in there.. a few of the crabs hit the 400g mark.
Make sure you have a good look at the first image.. it still gives me the chills!

Nothing wrong hayden
I dont like to see dead bream and female crabs aswell, but thats my opinion and i see no breach of the rules there.( correct me if im wrong )
Maby you should read the post again hayden. He has gone with his mom, that makes two people fishing = 2 bag limits. I dont see any eggs on the females crabs so they are ok as long as they are size.
Nice catch chino, and good on ya for taking your mum for a fish .

You are allowed to take 4
You are allowed to take 4 black bream per angler from the swan river unless they are over 40cm then you are allowed only 2, your allowed 10 crabs over 127mm and there is no mention wether they must be male or female but me and all my friends dont take females especially ones with eggs so as to preserve the fish stocks. He did nothing wrong... nice catch by the way...

just to clarify any
just to clarify any confusion,
im well aware of the regulations and i dont mass kill fish. the first outing was with my mum and uncle for mothers day, and the pic with all the crabs was amongst 7 guys, which accumulated to about 2-3 crabs per person, and no there was no eggs. I understand the need to preserve our stocks hence why many more crabs and bream were let go. I keep exotic fish as a hobby so i dont like to kill stocks.
