Australian crystal crabs are most plump in spring and autumn.
Spring and autumn in Australia are the perfect seasons for catching crabs. All kinds of fat and fresh crabs are already waiting for you to catch (eat) them in the sea.
Preparations for catching crabs in Australia
1. Crab net. This kind of fishing net is relatively common and can be purchased in various fishing gear stores, Kmart supermarkets, etc. You can prepare before departure, or you can choose to purchase in a small town. (Price reference: $10-$25)
2. Nylon rope. Tie a rope to cast the net, which can not only expand the fishing range, but also facilitate towing. Remember to tie it firmly.
3. Thick gloves & ice bucket. The gloves are to avoid injuries when closing the net, and the ice bucket is to keep the crabs fresher. You can also bring some ice cubes as appropriate.
4. Bait: Many people choose to use chicken skeletons as bait. Tie the chicken skeleton firmly to the fishing net. Regardless of whether the crab takes the bait or not, it must be replaced after a while. After all, some chicken skeletons have become incomplete.
5. Fishing license: All fishing activities in Australia require a fishing license, and you can choose the number of days. If you catch crabs without a fishing license and encounter law enforcement officers, you will be fined.
