Sea Ranger Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Gday I haven't fished the Hawkesbury for a number of years. The last time I went I dropped crab pots at Mooney Mooney Creek. My father (and I) are both getting on in age a bit and he is visiting from Over Seas so we had a good chat and thought some crabs would be fun to chase. I was looking at the rules (which have changed since I last did it) and see that Mooney Mooney is closed as is Cowan creek to crabbing on the weekends.. At least that is how I'm reading it... Is there anywhere I can drop a few crab pots (2 per person lol) legally around Sydney on a weekend? Cheers Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seasponge Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Bear, I had to look this up because I'm in the area and wasn't aware of the Mooney Mooney Creek restriction, and I see traps in there all the time. The written description is unclear, but the map in the link below (see page 6) clarifies - Mooney Mooney Creek is only restricted (on weekends) from the Pacific Highway bridge a fair way upriver (not the bridge at Brooklyn). There's still a fair chunk of Mooney Mooney Creek available for crabbing. https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0008/614708/Recreational-Fishing-Guide-Central-Coast.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
