cray fishing in exmouth

Hey guys.
heading up to Exmouth on the 11th and was wondering what the deal is regarding snorkelling for crays up there? from what I understand you get mainly painted crays...r these still good to eat? was planning to snorkel with a snare, but cant seem to find much info on the rules as to whether this is allowed? also is there much of an issue with sharks?
cheers!

 Best just confirm that, last round of meetings there were concerns raised by locals about the localised populations of crays being vulnerable and I think the bag limits may have been changed there.

Dont have time to check right now, at work.

EDIT-yes Ranmar correct, change was no more than 4 painted in your bag limit of 8, no season north of NW cape
