Lofty 27 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Dosen't matter if it was dead on arrival. To take is to take no matter if it was dead or not. It is said that it was caught yesterday.I'm just pointing out that taking cray out of season is illegal and it should not be encouraged and that obviously some people need educating.

Woody 0 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Lovely sized cray mate, I can't even get my mates to flick a line in the Onky :PAs for the 'out of season' thing, well yeah, if season is closed, season is closed. Was produced 'live' to Mick though :SEither way, we shouldn't be bashing Micks thread, this stuff should be reported to a mod if you have concerns, or people will just stop posting on here... afishyfish 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MickSA 2 Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Well i thought he said he got it yesterday? Could mean anything i suppose maybe he got it yesterday, didn't ask him? How long do they live out of water? Maybe it was caught prior to closure and kept alive? I dunno :dry: I was just surprised to get it and wasn't asking any questions, knowing the fella who gave it to me it certainly would not have been caught illegally.

Lofty 27 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Sorry MickSA Not having a go at you as your mate could be having you on (bought you the cray etc.) but it needs to be pointed out that the season has ended and maybe we need to be a little more careful on what we say as we don't want people going out doing the wrong thing.

I have never had such a generous thing happen to me before that i was beside myself. I have never caught one myself so have no idea about when the closed season is. They certainly are a unique creature, being able to live out of water like that? :S Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fishie 98 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 "Caught", "Bought" and "Got" all sound very similar I used to crayfish out of Robe years ago and the Fish Processors down that way keep the crays in holding tanks for the live cray market.... Knowing Mick well and the favours he does for his mates.. His other mate would have well and truly "bought" it as a return favour... we all do it in one way or another with good mates Resolute 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MickSA 2 Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Sorry guys I just rang my mate and he got it yesterday from his brother, seems it was caught well and truly before the closure and kept alive by processors at Mt Gambier/Robe.Sheeesh seems one has to be so careful what they say ey? Now i am going to enjoy it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ranger 48 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 After a little research back and forth, it has now been established that the crayfish in question was provided through a processor. The mate in question has a brother working at the processing plant.In light of this, the benefit of any doubt is provided by staff here, as we are not concerned with the actions of commercial operations, and the initial post has been modified to reflect this. Apologies for the interference by staff, and I thank Mick for the prompt work and attention to clearing this up. MickSA and Timbo45 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timbo45 0 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 As said, processors can hold live lobsters well after the closure of the season, we haveheld stock well into July in our tanks, and the public are welcome to buy them live, as long as the purchaser has the appropriate paper work for transporting live crays,which is given to them by the processor !Tim.....Enjoy you lobby Mick.....

Fishie 98 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Umm! Mick it's not a cray... Remember when Ripley blew that Alien outta the spaceship and it drifted off into Space... I think it landed in Robe... be very very careful!!!!!! aarron 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
