North Australian FISH FINDER forums

It’s been a year or three since I’ve netted and had a feed of Blue Crabs.

Not as rich as our Muddies but they’re as sweet as they come.

These ones all from the Spencer Gulf in a few afternoon hours between beers.

Nice work.

Spent many years fishing Adelaide, we also used to catch the two-spot sand crabs, they were around in huge numbers when they were running. Not as tasty as the blueys tho.

That's a huge haul!

Over the bag-limit.. ?????

Nope. From memory we were about 8 or 10 short. https://www.pir.sa.gov.au/__data/assets ... ochure.pdf

Thats a ripper catch and look good size too.
You would be lucky to catch a size crab now closer to Adelaide with the huge commercial fishing operation.

Some more of that footage, pretty funny ... https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-australia-60567193
