Got 18 in Mandurah yesterday morning - it went completely dead after 10am though so maybe the crabfest people weren't out early enough???

Dodgey catch
Bet there has been more than one fisho stop at the local fish shop on his way home to buy a few fish and claim them as his catch so the missus will let him out fishing again next weekend. Boys will be boys!
