Winter crabs?

Hey guys,

I'm trying to take some overseas visitors out on the boat for an cruisey day of crabbing/squidding.. I was thinking the sound will give me option to do both. But what are the crabs like to get this time of year in the sound? Is it even worth taking them out or just stick to squidding only? Not trying to bag out.. Just want a couple for the experience and a feed.
Any where else I can go for a winter crab?

Cheers

Agreed winter crabs in the sound are deep and very hard to get. There are decent crabs in the river but i have only caught them diving !
