Is it illegal to catch crabs using landing net in NSW?

[Marmot]

I saw crabs in some estuaries/groves, and wonder if I can catch them by landing net?

I don't want to lose my fingers, yes, I bought fish license.

Legal methods are all on the fisheries website, and it’s quite clear when you can use a landing net.

edit…….its best you read it yourself so you fully understands what’s what.

Right, on second thought, if crabs clamp the landing net, it would be a trouble to remove them.

 Crabs are quite easy (and legal) to catch on a line, just use a big chunk of fish flesh or an old fish frame, and the crab will go straight to it.
