Hi, every one. I am new to this. Would like some advise. Where might be some good spots for crayfish nets to be put out. And also free diving for crayfish. Thanks you all for understanding. Will wait for some nice advice thank you.😀

You won't catch crayfish in nets (unless bobbing for it).
You'd need a craypot and drop it off a boat, the person selling you the pot will be able to give you advice on how to set it up.
Freediving for cray is a different story… Rocky coastlines, a wetsuit, good gloves and patience is a start. Google some youtube videos how to catch them. Small ones are a no go as are female in berry and soft crays.
Here's dem rules:
