Mandurah wading and crabs

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.

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.
