There are three things that must be done in Sydney in summer.
That's: catch crabs!
Shrimp!
Pick up the clams!
Australia is a seafood-rich place, and along the coast of Sydney there are many natural seafood ranches.
It is summer, fresh seafood can be said to be fresh and fat!
Like to eat seafood friends, may as well take advantage of this excellent seafood harvest season, about three or two friends, personally to eat it!
Let's just think about it, and it's time to start drooling around.
Why don't you move? let's go as soon as we're ready!
Catch cra
Blue cra
Mud cra
It can be said that all are big and fat crab species, after catching home with you steamed, stir-fried or braised, how to do must be very delicious ~
Catching crabs in Australia, however, is not something you can catch anywhere, and you don't catch crabs as you like.
To catch crabs, you must first get a fishing certificate.
Otherwise it would be undocumented fishing, and even a visa could be cancelled as a result.
So you must remember to prepare the most important document first!
The specific way to get it is to buy it through the www.onegov.nsw.gov.au website.
Specifically, how should crabs be caught?
It really depends on all the people and talents of the world to accomplish it!
First, it is easier to catch crabs on days when the temperature is high, the wind is high, and the tide is falling.
Because the temperature is high, so crab will be more active, otherwise may hide "hibernation" go.
When the wind is high and the tide is high, the crab moves toward the shore in the direction of the high tide, making it easier to catch.
So, choose the right day and time is the key to the full load!
Second, there are many ways to catch crabs
You can grab it with your hands.
You can fish with a fishing line.
They can also be caught in cages.
However, the easiest way to succeed and to be relatively safe is to use a crab cage!
Circular crab cages like this are the most common and are easy to find in some supermarkets or fishing stores.
The most central funnel-shaped place is used to hold bait, with crabs entering small mouths on the side. Because the entire crab cage's mesh design is very small, so it is not easy to escape when the crab enters.
In addition, you can also choose funnel-shaped and rectangular crab nets, there are strict size restrictions, please be sure to abide by.
Except for crabs,
Also prepare a container for crabs, preferably with a deep mouth covered container.
On the one hand, the container is deep and covered to prevent crabs from crawling away, and on the other hand, you can add a little water to keep the crabs fresh.
In addition, because the crab cage is to be thrown into the water to sink to attract crabs, and after it is thrown into the water, it still needs to be collected.
So, you need to get the rope ready.
In general, strong nylon rope can meet the requirements, can stop the drag, will not break halfway.
The length of the rope had better not be too short, can be lost as far as possible.
Finally, all the tools are ready, and the bait is missing!
Crab bait can be used in chicken, chicken racks, fish bones or dried fish, and preferably the one that stinks and tastes good.
Although the taste is a bit bad, but also officially this foul smell is more easily attracted to the attention of crabs ah.
But in addition to the tools for catching crabs, it's best to have protective tools like gloves, work boots, and the like to prevent the crab from being scratched.
So now everything is ready, only to catch ~
So the question is, where are all the crabs in Sydney?
Recommend the following places not too far from the city of West Sydney ~
Jarvis Bay (Jervis Bay)
Lake Illawarra
With family and friends to these beautiful scenery and can catch crabs to play, on the one hand is a cozy day trip ~
But finally, the editor must be here to advise you that these wild crabs are allowed to catch, but there are strict rules.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the following considerations must be observed:
- Up to two crab cages per person to catch crabs
- The caught crab must meet a certain size before it can be taken away. The measurement of the size is the width of the vertical direction of the crab's back.
- The green crab must be more than 6 centimeters long.
- Mud crabs must be longer than 8.5 centimeters.
- There are limits to the number of crabs: each container catches up to 10 green and flower crabs a day, five mud crabs, and the excess (even one) must be released.
These are the regulations and restrictions imposed by the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries on people's spontaneous recreational crab fishing to prevent overfishing and commercial fishing.
Once a violation of fishing regulations is found, there is a risk that report will be carried out to the new state of government.
So that's what the so-called people and the people, reasonably and reasonably grasping the crab according to the regulations, will not cause trouble-
Fishing shrimp
In shrimp mature season choose the right time to fish, it can be said that it is easy to get a decent bowl of fat.
If the above steps to catch crabs are too complicated for you, then you can rest assured that the method of fishing shrimp is much simpler!
But like crabs, fishing for shrimps requires a fishing certificate in advance!
This concrete step is the same as above, there is not much to say here.
Although it is fishing shrimp, but if you have leisure and elegant want to try, but the amount of fishing must not be more than the amount of it.
Generally speaking, the best time for shrimp fishing is at night.
Especially on the night of moon loss, the better the dark day.
The tide rises higher and the shrimp becomes more active in the coastal area.
It would be even better if the wind were blowing in the direction of the rising tide.
The tools needed for shrimp fishing are not very complicated-just a flashlight, a shrimp bucket and a shrimp net.
Of course, because you have to get in the water, you can prepare a waterproof suit in advance so that you don't get all wet.
The concrete method is: shines the shrimp in the water with the flashlight, the shrimp swims to the net now to catch, fished up and then put back in the container to ok ~
Yes, as long as the weather and geographical location, it is so simple to catch fresh wild prawns!
However, when fishing shrimp should also be noted, the new state allowed to catch shrimp limit of 10 liters per person.
Although we may have a lot of fishing, but we must grasp the amount, in time to put it back into the water.
Otherwise, the fine is light and the penalty is heavy. A direct repatriation could be possible!
