Crabs in the crotch

With a title like that, you just had to look, right?
I escaped the heat with a little estuary time. It was fun as hell.

Beautiful water. Nice crabbies!!

  Nice Haul Juan, The best part is you don't have to explain how you got them and they are much easier to get RID of.....

Man oh man I would love to get a grip of crabs like that!!! dinnner....

How long would u soak um Jaun???

Looks like Big River?

How many keepers did you end up with? 
Never had nearly as much luck in estuaries as out in front. 

Nice Dungies!  Too bad the season is over down here!  Thanks for the report and picture Juan.

Got 2 keepers for about 3 hours work. I'd take the throwbacks away from the rings for the release so they wouldn't get back in again too soon.
I ran 2 rings and one small pot, checking one after another was enough of a soak, about 15 minutes. I could see them going towards the rings after the drop, 12 FOW.
They were good quality, finger-licken' good.
Allen, very funny!

looks good, so who is bringing crab pots to albion?  it will be the last open weekend for them!

A dab of amoxicillin should do the job.

I've dove those estuaries before - good fun drifting & scouring the bottom for crabs.  Lots of small ones around, but not many big ones.   
Either way, it's still a lot of fun and peaceful.   

Great pics Juan. How did I miss this post? Looks to be very peaceful and fun.
