I caught and kept my daily bag limit of legal crayfish for the first time this season. I love crayfishing for many reasons, and am happy to release the crayfish that I catch, but once or twice a season I do like to keep a couple for a feed too.
Murray freshwater crayfish are an absolute delicacy on the plate, simply mouth watering.
Due to their potential to overharvest, there is a strict size and bag limit in place to ensure sustainability of this amazing species. At the time of publishing this video (July 2022) that bag limit is 2 crayfish per person per day, with a carapace length of 10-12cm. Anything over or under that needs to be returned, and any crayfish with eggs, no matter what size also must be returned.
This was a great crayfishing session. I caught crayfish of all sizes, too small, too big and two legal sized Murray crayfish which I kept for the pot.
