From the fisheries guide
From the fisheries guide page 38
Crabs
You can legally catch crabs by: • Hand. • Wire hook – you can use a hand-held blunt wire hook to catch crabs. Hooks must not be capable of piercing the crab. • Drop net – they must be no wider than 1.5 metres in diameter. There is a maximum limit of 10 drop nets per person or 10 drop nets per boat, regardless of how many people are aboard. OR • Scoop net – hand-held wire or plastic scoop nets must be bowl-shaped, made of rigid mesh that is not capable of entangling a crab, have an internal diameter no bigger than 375 mm, and a depth of no more than 210 mm.
Catching crabs by any method other than those listed above is illegal.
