Hawkesbury Crabs

Took my two boys crabbing today in the Hawkesbury, Kids had a great time pulling up the traps.

All up we probably caught 25 crabs letting the smaller ones go and keeping 17.

​Bait used Mullet, all caught on the incoming tide.

Put 2 traps out myself in 6m of water for about 3 hours while fishing yesterday. Put some Baker in it I caught the day before. Zero crabs for me. Wrong bait or not enough time or wrong location?

All crabs caught on the bottom of the run in. Had 8 traps out until a big cruiser ran over one of them cutting the rope. Crabs were caught around Milson Island, all caught in 4hours.
