Yeah more info on the handline method would be great in regards to hooks and sinkers. @Noo2OzFish I'm only new to fishing too but I think with bag limits for the crabs, I think they would be the same as fish? My understanding of fish is you can have the bag limit for a day so say 10 but you can have 20 in your possession ie at home etc from previous days. So you could only have 10 blue swimmers per person on your boat. But you could have 20 blue swimmers each person at home in esky etc. So if there was 3 of you on a boat with fishing licences then you'd be able to have 30 crabs which if you accomplish that let me know your spot ;). Please others offer advice is this is wrong but this is my understanding of it. And another thing on the crabs when you are talking handlines are you talking rods or old school lines you real in with hands? Cheers
