A Good Dose of Crabs

[Chenz]

Had some luck on the Blue Swimmers the other day. Made a great addition to the Xmas feast with the Family. Gave up using fish baits. chicken frames from Woolies seem to be a better bait and I seem to do better with them these days

The big one was that old he had barnacles growing on him.

There a ripper size good stuff. I find crabs too much effort to pick at to get the miniscule meat. I bought a mud crab the other date, cooked it and after all the mucking around there was a lot of effort to suck a bit off meat .

There is plenty of meat in a good blue swimmer especially the meat around the swimmers.

Going again tomorrow I will post some pics if we get amongst them again
