Crays 2025
Submitted by Piggy on Tue, 2025-10-28 09:10
Might be a bit early but decided to get the 2025 Crays discussion going.
Talking to a mate today and discussing when we should get the pots out. We go out off Mindarie. Last year they seem to run a little earlier than the year before so be interesting when they start running this year? Thoughts? Thinking in the next couple of weeks might get the pots in.
Interestingly I was out off Woodman point just before the demersal ban and noticed lines of pro pots already out but in deeper water - 40s

I'll probably wait.
Dropped pots inshore in September for a play. Plenty of reds, but by 30th September was getting at least 50% tar spots and pulled the pots. Last year's timing might be a little different to this year's, at a guess, if temperatures and moon play a part.. Maybe was warmer sea temperatures in 2024 and the full moon was mid-November. This year 's temperatures seemed to have settled down a bit into a more normal range and the moon is 10 days earlier in November. I don't chase crays too hard, so I'm thinking this year I'll put pots in late November, a week before the December full moon.
