How To Catch Jumbo Crayfish Perth WA Western Rock Lobster
How to catch Jumbo Crayfish Perth WA Western Rock Lobster. Fishing for Jumbo Crayfish between Hillarys Boat Harbour and Direction Bank off the coast of Perth, Western Australia in 30 meters of water. We built two Craypots for Leanne one out of Jarrah and one out of Pine. They have steel bottoms and double bait baskets. They were built to the Recreational Fishing for Rock Lobster Guide of Western Australia pot specifications. We use Tuna heads, Mackerel, Bonito, Sanmar and old fish frames for bait. We seem to get the Jumbo size Crayfish around the 30 meter mark. The biggest Crayfish we ever caught was from the NorthWest of Rottnest Island.

Deep and Wreck Dive day trip on St. Maarten, St. Martin, Caribbean
What an awesome dive trip. We took 3 divers on an all day Private Charter to dive the deep wrecks that St. Maarten / St. Martin has to offer. We saw Sharks, Turtles, Octopus, Barracuda and some very curious Sting Rays! Lunch was in front of the airport watching planes land and take off, followed by 2 more deep dives in the afternoon.... what an awesome day!
