kerr_rhys 0 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Looking for some advice for a first time crabber and recreational fisher. I've been told that St Kilda north of Adelaide is good for crabs. I have a net and some squid, plus a light rod that I'd like to try out. Thinking of going early morning. Any advice on how to catch crab and maybe a fish or two? Is the legal limit for crabs still 11cm and 40 per person? Not that we have any thought of catching that many.Thanks for being nice to a newbie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest boys day out Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 HI are we thinking boat or land based? ps welcome to S/H Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kerr_rhys 0 Posted December 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Hi there, definitely land based, is there a jetty or do you fish of rocks? What kind of fish are down there? I'm trying to print out some limits and pictures of stuff to expect otherwise I'll have no idea what I'm catching and what the rules are.Thanks for your help Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Weedie 1 Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Hi kerr_rhys,There is no jetty at Saint Kilda,You have to fish off of the rocks and you will catch:Salmon TroutBreamWhiting and you might even get a Flat Head there.It is good for Salmon Trout at the end of the break wall(off the rocks).I have caught a lot off Salmon Trout there in the past on Soft plastics or Whitebait.You get crabs there but you have to rake for them on the beach side.I hope this helps and good luck Marc. kerr_rhys 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
