I tried using a yabbie net which i left over night and caught 7 rock crabs its a shame the enterance funnels went bigger i could of got some nice sized ones. i left the net about 2-5 metres from the weed line that explains why there were rock crabs in it, next time i try ill use at least 5 nets and leave them about 20m from the weed line and probably catch undersized sand crabs i might try using a shrimp net aswell so no crabs can fit in.
I asked A lady who used to work at the petrol station/General store, about 4 years ago what crabs and things you could catch there, she described a crayfish/prawn looking creature that some times washes up on the beach after storms and is good to eat when she told me this i didnt take any notice of, but it makes me think is the creatue she was discribed a mantis?
