Who's got crabs?

[Fishbait]

Just wondering how other folk are going catching crabs this year. Put our pots out this weekend (like everyone else with floats everywhere) - got 4 nice big sandies and 1 Muddie. Fished in the passage this morning and struggled to get 4 nice bream > 30cm, and 1 flathead at 55cm. Also dropped a massive flathead at the boat (my fault). Beautiful weekend anyway. Just hope the crabs pick up now for the summer. How's everyone else doing with their crab pots? Cheers, Darren

Sandies are worth the effort now after yesterdays result. Muddies have been consistant since June

Looks to be a good start to the crab season then. My sandies were choka full too. Hope it's better than last year. Happy Crabbin folks!

Muddies we pulled on Tuesday were loaded with eggs on the outside.
