Hi all fellow yakkers. I've recently sold my tinnie because it just wasn't getting used now the missus and I have a kayak (Emotion Stealth Angler) each. We recently went to Somerset Dam and did some red clawing and had a great time getting a feed. I have also bought some of the rectangular 2 entry pots by Wilson as I thought these would be easier to transport on the yak instead of the round 4 entry pots.
What I would like, is to hear from those who crab from their kayaks and get some advice on ideas for transporting the pots, handing the crabs (mud or sand) in the kayak, for someone that has only ever had the privilege of releasing undersize or female crabs, and any other hints you may have for a novice.
I plan on setting then in areas where the boats can't get into around the passage & Coochin Creek areas.
Any help would be greatly appreciate.
Cheers,
Ross

Do a search in google images for crabbing kayaks and it shows a few ideas more like you are after.
