      awesome, first time hearing of a Yabby, I always heard them called "Craw fish" or "Cray fish" is it just a local thing? or are they different spiecies of craw fish I wonder :D make for good cooking.

      @@G0SuBunnY Hi and thanks for watching.
      Yabbies are similar to crawfish but are a little bit different.
      Yabbies are the Australian version of crawfish. The word Yabby comes from the aboriginal word for them "Yabba".
      Our crayfish are much much bigger.

    @johnshilling2221 4 роки тому +7

    You discovered the secret. Here in the US, if there isn't cover in the form of rocks and/or vegetation, you're wasting your time. Besides, crayfish here eat all of the 'biomass', I guess you'd call it, that grows all over the submerged vegetation. Also, in Louisiana the locals use 'melt' for bait. (that's what they call it) it is actually the spleen from slaughtered cattle. It is has tough outer membrane with a sponge-like interior. That interior looks as if a liver was grown inside the sponge. Every time the crayfish (yabbies) bite or pinch, fresh blood is released. The bait will last for well over 24 hours, if you care to fish that long. Find a local custom slaughter service and ask them to save the spleens....
    And! Pay a little more attention to your sound levels, please. I have to grab the remote and drop it down about three notches every time the music comes on. Just saying....

    Very cool. Where I come from in the southeast United Staes we call them Crawfish or crawdaddies. I used to catch them as a kid in a little wire trap I made and my mom would boil them up for me.

    Very nice catch mate, i'll bet that little lot made for a bloody beautiful meal? Over here in W.A. we of course get the Yabbies, but we also get Marron and there is nothing like fresh cooked Marron in a little vinegar and salt & pepper with add some hot fresh bread and you're in Heaven lol.

    Hi robbie. I have not tried but i have with prawns. The legs where taken off and put it to a fry pan with soy sauce. Then after a short time cooking placed on cracks for a beer night. I also had a few mates in the past going to king island. The crays where cooked buy adding one teaspoon of honey per kg when cooking. It helps to make the turn a better colour and make them last after cooking if you can not eat them on the day. It what the pro do. Also i have been watching yabbie catching on youtube. Have you seen the pipe that goes over the top of the net. Filled with lot more dog food you put in the bait traps. This most make more smell and more bait. Most do not touch the trap for 2hrs. I have got my first bait net from many years back and soon getting the new nets you have. And your right. Take only for snacky not a big pig out.

    Grass is a feed stock for crayfish (crawdads, yabbies, etc). Put your traps in shallow water, close to grass and where sunlight can get to the bottom to grow algae and other green stuff.
