For those of you looking to catch these boogers easily, do the following. Get the Oxylus robotic companion (details can be found on this wiki) which comes with the Scan Aquatic Lifeforms mod. Rank the mod up fully (it's cheap) and equip it. Murkrays can be found in OCEAN fishing HOTSPOTS day AND night and the Scan Aquatic Lifeforms mod highlights them on your mini map if they are nearby (the icon is a small orange fish). Note that the companion must be out for the mod to work (i.e. get out of your Archwing).

The Lanzo fishing spear is guaranteed to 1-shot murkrays, but not guaranteed to 1-shot other ocean fish. None of the other fishing spears are guaranteed 1-shots on Murkrays so I strongly encourage using the Lanzo.

I have heard that several baits work, but can personally confirm that Murkray Bait attracts them (details on obtaining Murkray Bait can be found on this wiki). Simply toss the bait onto the hotspot (doesn't have to be exact) and fish normally.

Results will vary, but if you are tossing Murkray bait onto the little orange fish icon and holding the Lanzo spear, you are doing everything right.
