PatT Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Hi there Picked up 4 nice male blue swimmers in sydney harbour, thought I'd share as one was a new PB. Size: 19cm wide (across carapace) and 11cm mouth to back Fresh salmon heads or frames seem to be a popular bait, not much luck on fresh flathead or kingfish heads from the fish shop... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelm Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 We have a standing family record contest for crabs, I got one 68cm nipper tip to nipper tip that was the record for a while, then my son got one 97cm tip to tip that held the record, but about a year ago he got one 102cm, yes, you read that correct, just over a metre, tip to tip, here is a photo of a good one I got recently, but, unfortunately, no record breaker.

noelm Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Just a note, the crabs have been pretty quiet this year, not too sure why, too hot, too cold, too much rain, not enough rain, or just one of those seasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsswordfisherman Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 We bagged out just last week with some nice blue swimmers at Lake Ilawarra! Plenty around there 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelm Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) You should have dropped in to see me while you were down here, the crabs are very late this year, where we would easily get our bag around Christmas, it's now in March/April, going to go again on the weekend or Monday.

noelm Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 There is not much that beats a just cooked, still boiling hot Blue Swimmer crab, especially that big lump of meat attached to the swimmer leg, a nice spot in the shade, maybe a cold drink, it just doesn't get any better.
