Swan Crabs

Anyone know if there are any crabs at claremont jetty?
Where's a good spot to drop some nets land based at the moment?
Can you drop nets in the hillaries marina?
Any help would be great fellas - I'm dying for a feed!

i think it was covered about nets at hilaries only last week and yes you can put them there but i think the crabs would have trouble getting the bait before the blowies do

He sure did! I was bloody green with envy when I saw that 'breakfast of champions' post. I've finally got the green light to get my dive ticket (chrissy pres) so I will be able to nab them on scuba soon! Can't wait to get into the murky swan....

As far as I'm aware at Hillary's you can drop nets next to AQWA, seen this being done, but don't try near the new Breakwater or you'll get moved by security, although I've seen crabs being pulled in on the outside (boat pen) side of it before people were chased
