Now that the hilarious title has your attention, I have some questions about crabbing.
My mate told me I could buy 4 crab pots from BCF for something like $25. I like the sound of that, and have always wanted to give it a shot.
Any crabbers out there? I have a lot of questions:
1. How can I tell where good spots are? Mangroves, river banks etc I assume.
2. What different type of baits do the different crabs go for? As in muddies, sandies etc
3. What are the rules? I can look up size restrictions but males/females etc? I am in Qld.
4. How do I get the crab from the pot? Grab from behind?
5. How many pots can I have out at once, what info do they need on them?
6. Best way to kill a crab?
I'm Googling too but I wanted some info from real people!
Any other advice is greatly appreciated, and feel free to post photos of any crabs!
Thanks a lot!
