Cray fishing

[Maynefisher]

How does portarlington go for crayfish and where do I find them. Taking a big interest into free diving

[e.welch]

i don't know much because I'm 13 never done any free diving in deeper than 2 m of water and don't live near Portarlington

Tough topic. Dont think there's a lot of cray fisher here. Usually they don't talk about it either. I have no idea actually...

I've been getting into it recently too mate, very fun stuff. Only got a few crays and were down toward east Gippsland, but heaps of abalone. I'm actually going Sunday so I'll let you know how I go.

If I ever work out where to find where they're hiding myself I'll be sure to let you know lol

So bagged out on abs with most 14cm+. Heaps of Crays around but all were undersized

Very nice bag of abs mate. Bit jealous haven’t had fresh abs in ages!
Enjoy the feed :thumbsup:

I’d love to catch Crays and abalone! Only I’m too much of a chicken when it comes to the sea and not have eyes in the back of my head! *itsAtoughworldintheSea hahaha!

Good Catch btw mate!

sharks prefer to eat fish and seals, that's what i tell myself before i dive anyway :a_goodjob:

Yeah maybe true! But that bloody (shark week) show had a segment on abalone divers and they social condition you to think otherwise! Haha! To be honest earlier this year my brother in law went spear fishing for the first time with his experienced mate in queens cliff! He says they caught fish and kept it in a floating bag on the surface and before long had to steer clear because a bronze whaler tore through it! Took everything!

Look I’m sounding like a chicken already! I hope I can overcome that fear one day! I’m obviously missing out on a different type of fishing action!

....one day!

I think crays are mostly found on the ocean beaches, don't take my word for it though. Cheers Matari
