Anyone been crabbing lately?

[Tally]

G'Day,
Just wondering if anyone has been crabbing in and around the Brisbane area since the little rain we had a couple of days ago. If you did, than did you get any?

Thanks,
Jay.

Merv,

Mate, how many pots did you have out to get that number of crabs.

Cheers,
Jay.

;jay.we had 6 pots in baited with fresh mullet cutting slits in them each side &leaving overnight.i find crabbing up there you need plenty of bait.it also helps to add a small tin of cat-food just punch a coulpe of holes in the tin. makes all the diff. &noo oo you dont get any cats .merv
