Re: Anyone catching crabs?
A few in the harbour arms yesterday morning. A solo trip for a few hours potted these 5 with the 2 big boys at the front touching 3kg each, pretty sure they're two of the biggest I've caught over the years, absolute stonkers and full as Dirk Digglers missus Nice return at todays $/kg rate. $10 in fuel and $300 worth of muddies

Re: Anyone catching crabs?
Are they those angry red crabs Balou or a hybrid? Never seen them that colour in the harbour, only the standard issue or the red ones. Only problem with the red ones is they sometimes have a small carapace relative to their claws. Quite often they have nice big claws but don't measure up in the body.
Nice haul BTW

Ripper crabs Tran. I will also be looking for a few when my whole family come up in a few weeks. It will be the first time all together in a long time, so I had better put on my crabbing hat... or else
