Raider Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Heard some talk that no crabbing allowed in Jerusalem Bay and Cowan creek. Anybody else heard same talk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalmainBob Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 (edited) Hi Raider, That is correct . The use of nets other than a landing net is prohibited in Cowan Creek and Jerusalem Bay. But there is nothing stopping the use of crab traps. http://www.legislation.nsw.gov.au/#/view/regulation/2010/475 Go to schedule 4 at the bottom of the page and to point 74 The link above is to the list of all the Fish and Waters protected from recreational fishing.

harold Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I didn't know that. So if you don't use crab traps, how else do you catch them? By hand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalmainBob Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 You can try the same way they do in Brisbane Water. Put a hand line out with a bait on it and wait for the crabs the take the bait , then pull them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddyT Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I think you will find that witches hats or traps are fine to use anywhere in the Hawkesbury except Brisbane Waters- they are regarded as traps not nets in fisheries regulations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
