Here's a video of a cray diving session we had off Mindarie WA, staring a good mate and cray diving expert Shano. Snaring crays can be tricky business, but not for Shano. Watch his style closely as he demonstrates how to bang them one after the other. You will notice there is no hesitation in his approach, just strait in-straight out. We both ended up catching our bag limit of crays (8per person) and there were also a few WA Dhufish and various other species cruising around, making for an awesome dive.

This person is going out to catch crays legally in West Australia. He's after a feed that's it. If he is lucky enough to have scuba good on him. We go for a feed and getting them quickly gives you more time to sit back and have a beer. Yay We have to clip the tail immediately so they can't be on sold illegally. Thems the rules :)

do you prefer the snare to the net and stick method? I never used a snare before, what do you do if they are deep under a rock? I am really bad at catching them.

In Western Australia the snare is preferred and is handy to get into hard-to-reach places. Not too sure if it's legal to use the net and stick method here. Sometimes if they are in a tight spot within arms reach you can just reach in and pull them out by hand. Just keep on trying and eventually you'll get the hang of it. You'll miss alot in the beginning and it will be frustrating, but when you develop the knack it becomes much easier.

What is that you are using to catch lobster? It looks like a pipe with rope at end?

@GetfishingAu 9 жыл бұрын

Armand Orsolino It's called a snare. They are available in local tackle and dive stores. It's basically a steel tube with a multistrand wire insert. This method is only allowed in certain Australian states such as Western Australia.

why did you cut top flap on the tail off??

@GetfishingAu 9 жыл бұрын

Hi Elle. This is a legal requirement when catching lobster in Western Australia. It is to prevent recreational fishers from selling their catch to commercial premises like seafood stores. Seafood stores for example can only sell lobster with their tail in tact. Hope this makes sense :)

@mahery6124 9 ай бұрын

Recreational Cray fishermen must do this so they can't sell it to restaurants and stuff.

It's so weird seeing lobster without claws. Do you guys eat the meat from the legs as well? We do here in Canada but Atlantic lobsters are much different.

@fairlanewhip79 4 жыл бұрын

No, it’s pretty much just the tail with decent meat.

@guyb6665 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah and to make it even more confusing the rock lobsters here get called crayfish or 'crays' despite not actually being crayfish

@willhorner4294 4 жыл бұрын

Brutal. Nothing ‘Pro’ about using tanks and snares. Use your hands and hold your breath like the big boys.

@Mr611paul 7 жыл бұрын

Why do you want to cut tail

@GetfishingAu 7 жыл бұрын

Good question. It is a legal requirement required by all recreational anglers in WA to ensure the fish cannot be sold commercially.

lol anyone can catch crayfish in a scuba gear.....

@tcutler2009 3 жыл бұрын

I do both scuba and snorkel. It would be almost suicide to try to find crays at 20 to 30 metres snorkeling. You go where the crays are and why do more work then you have to?😀

@haydenmorris3268 3 жыл бұрын

It's illegal to use scuba tanks for catching crabs and also illegal to use hooks

@gregdebsherras9506 5 жыл бұрын

You're not a pro if you use SCUBA gear and a lawsuit try going with goggles and then make your videos catching crayfish by hand and you get a lot of comments trust me not trying to be a fence full but do it the old way that's how people like it trying to give you a tip I live in every single day and I get heaps of likes on Instagram

no need to be a cocky bastard, this is legal and this is how he prefers to do it, so if you don't like it go away. At least he is sharing content with us.

@tcutler2009 3 жыл бұрын

There is no way it is good advice to Free dive for crays below 20 metres or around 60 ft.
