I spend an average of maybe 7 hours every weekend wading the flats from ankle to waist deep, from Coodanup to the Harvey River and all points in between and although I reckon I have seen at least 500 crabs I have only seen 2 that wouldn't need the measure to call keepers. Any one else seen it any different. We luv a feed of crabs but I haven't been crabbing yet. |

there are a few getting caught in the Harvey. my mate got his 10 in ten minutes the other night scooping. another bloke i know pulled out a size muddie from the same spot the other night but he was using drop nets from the shore as the water was murky along with his twenty crabs. |

The bloke with 20 was 2 blokes wasn't it. LOL Seems it's not just me. Will keep a particular eye out on Sat and report back. Apparently some clown had to be rescued after his missus reported him missing at 11:00 last night shoulder deep and walking in the wrong direction, will be on the 6:00 news tonight |

Nets on Sunday in 2m of water, lots of just size and just unders. Ended up with 15 in about 2 hrs before we packed it in. Quite a few rusty colour crabs, looks like iron staining. |
