Hi all. I'm going to be hunting for Salt water crabs around Kawau bay. Paddle Crabs will be the main target. I have a boat and pots.

This is totally new to me so I will be experimenting with pot placement. With the reading I have done, I have gotten the idea that sandy bottom and out to 20 meters deep is what Im looking for. Also placing them in the evening is best.
I'm also going to try off the wharf on the island.  

Has anybody done any crab catching in Kawau bay? Do you have any advice?

I have a boat and pots.
