Spanner Crab Information

[vertico]

Looking at doing some spanner crabbing inbetween going to the banks. I was wondering if there was someone that could fill me in on some information on these little bottom dwellers. Information such as traps/baits/locations/depth and size / bag limits ? Any information would be helpful. Btw will be crabbing the murphies reef area.

You might struggle around that area , What we've found to be the best area is inside the northern banks only about a 1km or so .

Best baits are WA pillies , or I should say the only bait .

Traps are a square , double meshed hoop about 4 foot square

Around 50 to 60 meters

Size of legal is 10cm top to bottom either sex .

I think its 20 per person .

Hope this helps Sam...
