Halibut man Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Hi fishos, Just got my boat and thinking of some crabbing around middle harbour. Any pointers? I heard that some blue swimmers are available around Bantry bay but is there any mud crab? or any Mangrove at all around that area? Appreciate any advice. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berleyguts Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 A bit early to bother trying for them. Suggest waiting until it warms up. Any month with an “R” in it is the age old rule. ? Doesn’t mean they’re not there... just that you’ll have to work hard for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josamill Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I never crabbed for years because of the 'months with an 'r' fable - saw a guy in Pittwater 4 Winters ago with 3 beautiful blue swimmers and have had success since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
