The weather is looking fantastic over the weekend and my fridge is looking empty.
Heading to Huon Island to harvest abalone and crayfish amongst the spectacular kelp forests. This will be easy diving and open water divers are welcome. The unusual water conditions – saltwater overlain by dark-coloured, tannin-rich freshwater from the Huon River can result in unexpected marine life. The dark freshwater restricts light penetration, and it is common to find marine life which is usually found in much deeper waters.
You do not need a fishing licence to come on this trip, not everyone will be chasing a feed. A licence is essential if you are going to be harvesting abalone and/or crayfish, details can be found here: https://dpipwe.tas.gov.au/sea-fishing-aquaculture/recreational-fishing/recreational-sea-fishing-licences
