Swan River crab

 How's everyone been going with Swan River crabs? I found it pretty good a couple of weeks after the flood but they seem to have dried up in the last couple of weeks. How have you found it?

got 7 in 2 hours last Saturday in 5-6m (depth) on Melville waters - 1 was undersize the other 6 were good size (2cm over min gauge size).
Dropping 4 pots and pulling every 20-30 minutes and I was using snapper heads.
Given the algae bloom announcement I don't know if I would be getting any atm but I think that possibly affects the upper reaches more.

cheers
