Quindalup crabs
Submitted by buddharock on Sun, 2014-09-28 20:57
After lunch out at Clancy's, we popped out from the Quindalup ramp and headed towards Siesta park. Using chicken necks and mulies as bait and only 50m off the shoreline, there were crabs in every pull. Plenty of undersize that went back, along with a couple of berried and big girls. Ended up with about a dozen keepers. My boys, 4 and 6 loved the quick trip and the crabs will make a good feed for lunch tomorrow.
Special mention to the bloke at Dunsborough sports for the bait and advice. Looking forward to posting about a snapper trip in the coming days.

Any tips
Hi Budd,
We are down here for a week and are looking to pick up a couple of crabs and hopefully some Squid. We did the same the other morning launched at Quindilup and headed up towards Siesta Park but only picked up one sized crab and half a dozen undersized ones.
Any tips?
Cheers

you're on the right track
There are a lot of undersize and berried ones kicking around at the moment.
You're in the right area. No need to be too far from shore.
They start to move out of the sand later in the day, best time an hour or so before sunset. I've never had any joy in the morning always get a feed in the arvo.
