Cranka crabs - target species.
Hey guys, i just bought my first cranka crab and gave it ago at the mount martha cove, to bad the fishing wasnt that great but still had some bites from what i expects to be whiting and letherjacket.
Also i spotted a group of 3 VERY large fish somewhere inbetween 5-10kg what coukd they be?
But back to the question, what do you target and cat h with your cranka crabs?
Thanks for sharing in advance!

Re: Cranka crabs - target species.
generally I'd be going after bream if I dig out the cranka crabs. I have not had a chance to use mine yet, but that's what I bought them for. I'm sure other fish might have a go at them as well..

Re: Cranka crabs - target species.
They go really well on Bream and might go well on gummy sharks

Those fish were most likely mulloway.

Re: Cranka crabs - target species.
They'll catch any estuary species especially bream and flathead. They're also real good on snapper.
But anything that eats crabs will take them!

The bream were already residents if the safety beach sandbar, a school of 50 or so, i snorkeled with them before the breackwall was built.Snapper Snatcher wrote:The same way the bream did?
