[[Wayne, that mud crab looks quite a bit like our Maryland Blue!]]
That's interesting June, how big do they grow, the average size for these is about 1 1/2kg and the biggest I've seen is 4.2kg and 240mm [9 1/2"] across the shell. They must be 150mm [6"] across the shell before we can keep them and we are not allowed to take females, we also have a limit of 10 crabs per person per trip.
They are fun to catch but you have to be very careful with the claws, they can snip your finger off.
