Your Ultimate Guide to Cray Pots & Cray Floats

Cray Pots & Cray Floats are vital tools for crayfish or lobster fishermen in Australia. Utilizing these tools aids in trapping and catching crayfish or lobster sustainably and responsibly.

Cray pots are specialized traps designed to lure and trap crayfish or lobsters. Built to withstand the harsh underwater conditions, our Cray Pots & Cray Floats are made from durable materials like jarrah and pine and are fitted with steel bases. They come in two sizes, catering to amateur or professional crayfishermen and meet the legal requirements for use in Western Australian waters.

Baiting cray pots is done using a variety of food items such as fish, squid or prawns to attract the crayfish or lobster. Once the crayfish enters the pot, the design allows the smaller ones to escape, ensuring sustainability. For bait, we recommend using a good holding bait like fish heads in the bait baskets to keep the crayfish feeding until the cray pot can be retrieved. Consider browsing our range of high-quality fishing baits in Perth for your cray pots.

Cray floats serve the dual purpose of marking the location of cray pots and identifying the license holder of the cray pot. Our cray floats are manufactured from high-density polystyrene foam, easily visible to the fisherman, making locating and retrieving the cray pots easier.

Remember, while using Cray Pots & Cray Floats, it’s essential to adhere to all local and state regulations. Regularly check your pots, and ensure the release of undersized or protected species.

In summary, Cray Pots & Cray Floats offer a sustainable way to catch crayfish or lobsters in Australia. With the right tools, you can target specific sizes while minimizing bycatch, thereby protecting the local ecosystem.
