Rep Power: 0  | Catching Crabs. Aussie Style. Greeting from Australia again everyone. One of my favorite pastimes is catching crabs, not in traps but on a simple handline and a piece of fish bait. Many years ago when I was a young-bloke I used to do this all the time, now nearly 30 years latter I've rekindled the passion as my In-Laws have bought a house on the water close to my old crabbing spots. This is situated about 1-hour drive north of Sydney where I live. There are 2 main types of Crabs we catch here 1) Mud Crabs. Mostly living in Mangrove/mud estuary system Heres a example of a Mud Crab that my friend caught 2 weeks ago. His son loves anything to do with Fishing.  Then we took him out to dinner to the local Chinese restaurant which he didn't enjoy but we did. Ginger, Garlic and Shallots.  2) Blue Swimmers. Mostly living in a Estuary weed system. Over last weekend we visited the In-Laws, so I took him out on a Crabbing trip targeting Blue Swimmers. Got up at dawn, hit my old spot and were lucky the crabs were on the chew. We ended up with 11 and were back just over 1-hr latter for breakfast. Our catch,  Max with the Biggest one,  AND this is how they ended up Joining us for lunch...... maybe not in the way they would have liked... but we did.  Regards (Aussie) Blackfish |

Rep Power: 0 | Re: Catching Crabs. Aussie Style. Hi there Black and everybody with the kind words,unfortunately we are coming into winter here in Sydney and the Crabs go very quite(water cools down and the crabs don't move around much) Still a couple of months left though. My Father-in-law went last week by himself(could not find anyone to go with..... any one wants to go with him) and still got 8, so they are still around. Thanks, B.F. |
