Anthony S Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonshine Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chappo Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Well done mate. I have been getting them too using fresh mullet and atlantic salmon frames. Thoughtthey would have gone quiet by now, but obviously still quite a few about. Chappo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydney south Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) What a great haul of crabs. Love crabbing, but being allergic to the little buggers there is no point. Edited May 16, 2016 by sydney south Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
