CRAY FISHING - with 200km of Melbourne area

[Fish-cador]

Hello ladies. :haha2:

Can we catch cray fish around the bay areas, WP and PPB and adjacent bass straight rockies? If so, what is the best bait? I reckon, any fish minced and put on bait bag or onion bag will do. Any thoughts?

Thanks

looks like vinhii is your man for crays! Ive never taken a bucket load of crays in 1 session! :shock: :notworthy:

Any particular reason you fished lowtide at night?????

cheers shazdoggg

hay shazz.. the crays come out at night all over the rocks to feed and the low tide exposes them :thumbsup:
they are the red hard shelled ones having a bucket is a good feed! & brings back great memories for me :D

Thanks guys.

Shazz knows where I am planning to try....back beaches. :wink1: Closed season ends Nov 15. Weather permitting, I will hit the rocks one evening during low tide. The rocks are only accessible during low tide anyway. Sad I cant use crab pots. Using hoop nets require constant checks which will be annoying.

Vinhii, almost every creatures come out at night. Crays, the bloody sand crabs and even those with crabs start appearing in Inkerman St. :lolf:

def dont want those crabs on inkerman st ey fc hahahaa!!

[crumpet_avenger]

just wondering if there is a bag limit on sand crabs?

we used a hoop net today out from somers and caught 4. were the size of a saucer...

caught them during the day which from what ive heard on here is unusual?

might get another net, they were bloody delicous
