Yup off a rock! Toco side ..

man that was reall ruff... Im talking bout waves slamming you soaking to the skin threatening to throw you of the edge and you need to be leaning over to make sure the line dont rub against to rock.

But i had reall good tackle. Penn Spinning reel, 65lbs power pro braided line, 60lbs tooth proof wire lead and some sweet J hooks.

wow i never seen soo much freshwater lobsters (crayfish) before, nice catch man !
Btw how did you catch them ?

[EvolvedDET]

The cray fish are Australian blue Lobsters fresh water type caught in a secret abandoned pond in Trinidad. We put bricks in the pond the lobsters hide in them and we dive down and catch them. The fishing trip to tobago can be arranged its a full day not 3 hrs starts at 6am and ends when you decided to or by say 7 pm no light. All gears are provided trolling for the entire day ballyhoo, artificial, Etc Etc. The fishing is done up at Spay Side we caught three Kings at the same time on a hook riged dredge have it on film will try to post, also two Yellow fin and two Black fin at the same time. The fishing up there is phenoeminal and is the cheapest charter by far in tobago the value of fish caught greatly outways the price paid not to mention the momories and experience.

wais d best time to catch crayfish? & how?

[meccalli]

In the sea, i just hover over the patches of turtlegrass and place a 3ft cast net around it and disturb the grass, they tangle easily. In the river/estuary, the calmer inlets with mangroves host more of them, I just put a dipnet on the bottom and use crushed, burnt, dried coconut. Just scoop em when they come in. As for timing, personally I see more/bigger ones around sept/oct period.

[Rooki3]

kool? day or night?

[meccalli]

Well if you doing it manually, morning, evening time where it a little darkish better, but i don't really target them, I set a crab pot whenever i'm out for a holiday or something with a fish head and I usually find both blue crab(siric), and crayfish in it, I think they're more active at night, some guys use flashlight and the netting method at night as well. Shark river has lots of em.

[X_Factor]

Shark river HAD lots of them
i remember about 12-15yrs ago i would go with my father and uncles, and we could easily catch a cooler
and they said 25yrs ago when they would go, it was like crazy, they would catch only big crayfish and leave back anything smaller than 5inches

now, we go ever so often and its pressah to get 1 or 2 doz for a small cook

[DrunkenMaster16]

Whats the biggest crayfish you've seen? A friend caught one that was a foot of tail... it was a lobster. Couldn't believe it till he caught 2 more. But that was in the 90's.

[-Roach-]

Went Salybia Yesterday... Caught About 12 Sirick Crab.... (Dunno If I Spell That Right)... Lol...

[Rooki3]

few yrs ago i caught some using a 4" pvc pipe with a block off on one end & a funnel type entrance one the other, wid a piece of fish inside

[meccalli]

Yeap, that's one version.

[joker]

@ columbus beach on a falling tide @ night you can use headlights to hold the serrete{sp} crab... but watch how yuh walking ... they bury themselves in the sand .. you hadda have "crab eyes " to see the outline of the shell in the sand .... if using white led's go waist hieght in the water with blade/ cutlass ... .. the lights attract ballyhoo{sp} and other top feeders .

[HaRdCoRe_YoUtH]

Crayfish are the easiest to catch.

Fishpot works great but i use a wire mesh that allows the small ones to pass back.
But you can also harpoon them, Best time is at night, their eyes glow orange and you can spot them easy in the water.

These pictures were taken on out family private estate high in the mountains in grand rivier. We are at the highest point and there are 2 natural water springs and 3-5 man made ponds. These pond have loads of cray fish and when we go there overnight we have a blast catching them and stuff. Also there are loads of exotic fruits to eat.....BESS
We were trying to make it into an adventure/ nature resort but plans changed. Anyone wishing to visit the land could contact me and i will let you all know when next i will be heading there..







Oh yea! There is a house in the land with running water and flushing toilets.



One of the man made ones






Natural Spring

[meccalli]

[DrunkenMaster16]

Thats what I talkin bout!!!

[Rooki3]

that place is beautiful

[Ted_v2]

Damn. I wanna go there too

[venomz]

how is the water in the north? i wana make a trip out?

[meccalli]

HELP?? Well i started a sw tank recently and I got 2 new inhabitants thanks to my dad, he caught these for years but only today i wondered, what the hell species are they? I'm tempted to believe is a crossed fish/hybrid with waliacke/lane snapper and some other deepsea redfish. Its basically a more white ish/silverish and more pink redfish LOL-tastes great though . My white balance was off so they looking more orange in the vid.



Here's a pic
