Hi Rob, your video about crabbing at Port Gawler was really nice and very informative. We usually go raking crabs at Thompson beach and would really love to try this place sometime. But when we went there to have a look around, all we see are mangroves. Is it the right place at the end of port gawler road? Where there is a sign about the habitat like a little round about?
Hi Thanks , yes but you need to have a tinny or Yak to go out to the Mouth of the river where it is from here you walk out to where the Crabs are . if you look at some of my other vid's , i think of hand the October 1 you will see us launching a tinny and going out . other than that you need to turn right at the junction and go to the main beach and go out through the gap in the mangroves and follow the little channels out crabbing as you go . good luck on your next adventure .
Awesome video Rob! I went there 04/03 , since I don't have boat I had to walk in 500m north, I was my very first time and I cough 16 of them in 2h, from you're video they look huge ! Mines were 11-13cm. Just wondering when they are biggest(month) and how far out you go ? Cheers!
Hi yes when i was little we had to walk from main beach , now having google earth we used to walk up to 3k's from there , wow not anymore as using a tinnie from the river the walk is only now around 800meters . crabs are not as big now since commercial operations as they catch millions -true , so not much gets a chance now to live longer and get bigger , there is some nice size a seeing where i go not much other users get there so i can choose the better size crabs .
I went Thompson beach for crab raking once, and I walked into the weeds area finding 8 legal ones only for 5 hours. maybe next time I should try the weeds-free area, what do you reckon? and by the way, what camera did you use? thanks
Hi rob we went there today and didn’t catch anything. What times should we go? And do we go when the tide is low or high? We don’t have a yak or boat can we walk all the way out?
