I've never done it myself but that's the geographic range and habitat for the greatest concentration of them in Trinidad. The people up there poison streams to catch them.

Yes that is a problem but only really see it NE parts, thay use chlorine/bleach tablets to do it and mostly from Balandra up to Mission (especially Rampanalgas

) after that its not so prevalent...fucknuts

Not always, but as meccalli said in the more accessible areas the more likely it will be a hit or miss situation. Regarding traps, they in my experience are useless unless you willing to put out one for each largish crayfish you want to catch as unlike the US or UK Signals (which is likely what you are are probably thinking of) seem to be more territorial and so you may only catch one per pond/pool.

Local crayfish themselves don't have plenty meat but if you do want to catch them the best way is either with a coceyea (sp) lasso or by using a torchlight to light up the eyes and then scoop them up with your hands...it taste better that way and it keeps the numbers at a more sustainable level. BTW you will need to get wet.l

Any river stream Along Northern Range
Check Cumaca River , Brasso Seco PAria , shark River , grand rivere and any small steam along the coast from Toco to Matelot.
River in Damien Bay use to have about 10 years ago also

People on Toco usually say that you need to wait until rainy season to catch them close to the coast since they get wash down ( not sure if true or false

Catching with trap is a lot of hard work though considering you have to go to a far location set your traps and leave it overnight which is when they come out to feed .

Best method is to walk the river with a light and 3 prong spear .

Need some info on fishing off the toco lighthouse rocks. I and some friends who are all novices in fishing will be going to toco next Saturday to do some rock/beach fishing. So...
What is best sinking, floating?
Live bait or lures?
High or low tide/doesn't really matter?
Some would be using hand casters can these work there?
Are there other spots in the area more friendly to novices, beach perhaps?

Thanks for any help offered.

My opinion; not the best location for novices; is you are speaking about the big rock on the left hand side of the light house for two reason:
1) only people who had luck at the location used lures and it took some technique
2) if you are lucky and catch something big it can be very dangerous to bring it up if you don't know what you are doing. you will need to climb down the rock and pull up your fish very close to the water. Other method i have seen used in a youtube video is speargun.

A good location for a novice is Balandra on the next side to the bay. Pass the fishing depot and climb over the small incline to the next side of the beach. Fish close to the rocks.

went Scotland bay on Saturday evening into Sunday morning. Fished in front of Teteron as well. Caught about 45 reds and a couple bachin. The reds were a mix between walliack and deep sea, normal size no monsters. Weather was nice but Scotland was freezing cold.
Saw a lot of boats heading back in from the wahoo tournament. Freddie has bait penned up in Scotland, that is a good sign so early in the season.

Was down Mayaro and Manzanilla last week and i did not notice any seaweed.

proton17 · Postby **proton17** » February 25th, 2016, 7:08 pm

It wasn't apparent until I was actually in the water, then realise it floating around like almost just under the surface.

I thought water looked like no seaweed until I went in and cast lines too.

meccalli · Postby **meccalli** » February 25th, 2016, 8:00 pm

Yeah went balandra for carnival and was the same deal, blue water but unfishable with the weed, it alsowasn't sargassum either, was some fine strand algae that was tough like 10lb braid lol, spent 10 mins to get the clump off. Had to go up on a point to get past the surf and into clean water, albeit extremely rocky.
