Blue swimmers a bit scarce but few flathead around.

Set my 4 witches hats at dawn with hopes of a feed of crabs after getting some a couple of weeks ago, then headed to Patonga to see if there were any flathead around.

There were a few around but no size, about 1/2 the fish were just under legal but managed 5 keepers. Got some yellowtail which proved the most popular bait catching the larger fish.

Things went quite about 10am so picked up the hats for just 1 crab, still it was a nice day on the water and it wasn't as much an effort on my own as going outside.

Yeah that's a nice effort. Just great to be on the water.

Is it possible to go crabbing on land? or set out crab pots without boats?.

Thanks

Yep, having the same problem with flatties myself. Plenty around, but mostly the smaller models. Good fun just the same.
