Where do you catch mud crabs?
Mud crabs inhabit estuaries and bays, sheltering in the mud and amongst mangroves. During high tides, muddies forage for food brought in by the rising tide. They are generally more active in warmer months but can be caught year-round, particularly after periods of heavy rain.
How are mud crabs caught?
Muddies can be caught using baited pots or drop nets, set in creeks, near mangroves or in low tide drains. Depending on the method being used will determine the length of the soak. Crab pots should be left for an entire tide cycle whereas drop nets need to be regularly pulled. Before heading crabbing check with fisheries for local rules and regulations.
Where can I find sand crabs?
Sand crabs can be found in estuaries and bays near large sandy flats and weed beds. Sandies prefer area's that are always covered with water but still get a good amount of tidal flow. They are can be caught all year round but warmer month's generally produces better catches.
