Hillarys Crays
Submitted by matgod on Mon, 2019-12-02 17:55
Hey Guys
First time crayfishing , have 4 pots out from hillarys at the moment, Decided not to put them where everyone else has on the sand around the 12-15 meter mark straight out from the breakwater. Went further up towards the Rotto turn off marker and havent had much luck, in a few spots now. Actually no luck.
Has anyone got some advice that could help me find a result? I am sticking in the same depths as most other Rec potters out there but no luck.
Cheers in advance

Hey mate I’m pretty new too,
Hey mate I’m pretty new too, but I have persimonally found trying to drop them on sand on the western side of a reef ledge had worked best. Tuna heads and blue Mack for bait. So far my pot in about 8m has been performing the best, pot in 13 m only had ones and twos. I tend to head north of the marina, tried south a few times towards hale road but never had much luck and was a bigger drive. Good luck!

Cheers guys for the replys,
Cheers guys for the replys, Definitely picking up that dropping on sand is what I need to be doing on western side of reef and structure . Will persist and keep moving them until I find a cray! Also yes I have been using Tuna heads and Blue Mack's so it's good to know the bait I'm using is correct.
thanks again i appreciate the replys!
