How long between checking cray pots
Submitted by hilly9 on Tue, 2016-12-13 19:45
How many days can I leave cray pots without checking them due to weather and work not lining up? Is a week between pulls too long with a single bait basket pot? Will finally get some in the water on thursday but with work on the weekend I wont be back out until Tuesday at the earliest.

You might get lucky and have
You might get lucky and have 30 in the pot. Or you might get none! A week is a long time but you just never know! Depends on your positioning

We had 4 pots out for 2 weeks
We had 4 pots out for 2 weeks without them getting checked due to circumstances
Pulled them last saturday and bagged out easily by the third pot with minimum of 6 in each pot and one had 9 or 10
No bait left though

How long?
More frequently the better purely to reduce others pulling your pots and/or ockys getting in. If the craypots are in a good area and you have bait and they havnt been pulled then 1 week is still worth expecting crays especially with the whites walking.

Just checked mine today after 16 day's due to work and bagged out, the only bait that was in there was a few bones.
