I wouldn't eat crab from up in that area...at least not too often.

Cates will do..you might even get a lobster. The buddists release them there from time to time. Imagine my surprise when I was diving along, and a lobster swam by.

there is some dodgy industry up that way, and the water doesn't really get flushed well. The crabs I have seen from up there tend to have discoloration around the gills. I don't eat crab that aren't their natural colour

Any type of traps will work ie. box type, round ones and even the pyramid. Try chicken necks for bait

I'm not one to complain if someone eats a black bellied chum. If they eat it and don't waste it what's the problem here ?
