Mate's spent a night out at leaders last weekend, cos SWA was closed for ramp upgrades.
They managed about half doz but lots of little ones about.
If I wasn't working I would be heading to Milne Inlet in Bynoe to bag a few.

Mate, we just back from bynoe yesterday, spent 2 nights at crab claw and managed 24 crabs, all massive. Small tides are what i prefer, always seem to do well, seen heaps of crabs around the pots as the water was so clear so we netted a lot as well, only had 70 cm of movement, lots of crocs there but thats where i would be going.

I would say at the very least 3m, have launched on lower tides with my little 3.8m tinny.
Be aware that there are very big ROCKS infront and to the right of the ramp as you look out.
If you have a 4x4 engage the hubs before backing down cos it can get very slippery at the bottom.

Also if you head out to the right of the of the ramp to the first T junction, and again to the right
till you get to the second T junction, sound around for a hole that's generally got decent pan sized reefies...

Good luck mate..
