Sometimes if the stretch of water you're shrimping in doesn't have those areas of vegetation in the shallows, a few handfuls of gumleaves and twigs in the net works wonders! I'm finding that the shrimp are starting to nibble on my corn bait when I'm fishing for carp recently, I might have to try a net with corn in it as well. Love your work mate keep it up
Hmm RKJ. Shrimp have saved my bacon a lot across my earlier years and I actually like em for a feed for myself on occasions too. I've never thought about making the internals of the trap a bit more shrimp friendly and homely with some leaves and twigs. Makes a lot of sense, thanks for the tip, first time I've heard of it.
@@CalaisRider it can definitely make a difference in areas where you don't usually catch many! In areas where you catch heaps, sometimes you don't even need bait, the gumleaves and twigs are enough. Happy to help buddy
When l was younger and went fishing with my Uncle and my father in the Tambo we caught shrimp in a tin next to the reeds along the river edge. Great memories.
I keep my shrimp in a 2 foot fish tank. About 100 or so with a filter pump to keep them clean and pump air into the tank. Also, i keep about 15 yabbies in another 2 foot tank with a filter so that I can always have fresh live bait. I've got a pond as well, with some spangled perch, some little rainbow fish, guppies, and some goldfish, and I even ha e an eel tail catfish in there and I usually chuck a fee small shrimp and yabbies in there for the fish to eat as well as feeding them worms and fish food pellets. Love your videos, mate. I li e in southeast Queensland, so we don't really get carp or red fin up here but plenty of yellow belly, catfish, and bass and small spangled perch and silver perch. Heaps of shrimp up here, though. Usually, go down once or twice a week to get shrimp for bait. Plus, they make a great addition to my cold, fresh water tanks.
I catch heap of the long arm freshwater shrimp down at the creek 15 minutes from home. I always go down at night with my fishing net and scoop them up. Usually, I come home with 100 or so. I'm going to head down tonight to get some more decent size ones so me and my old man can go yellow belly fishing tomorrow night. I've been catching yellow at around 8 pm at the creek lately.
Gday Robbie, Saturday we went out along the Murray and were catching around a dozen shrimp every 1/2 hour. We were using chicken carcasses as bait. Great video by the way
Hey Robbie I am a new subscriber to your channel and I find your videos very helpful and informative. Every video I have watched has made me feel like getting into the country and going fishing
@@hezronwani5942 NO, but most of the streams do have the small 1s in them, esp in wetlands. Scooping the reeds on the edges often yields results! Around here I usually use grey prawns, I buy from the fishmongers in Springvale or Dandenong! Much FRESHER, & better value than the packs of rotten prawns you get from the servo for $10-12 for 100g etc!
Great job Robbie,I've been using cheese in the nets,like soap you don't have to remove it when done fishing. Still in nets from last year.The only thing is that you have cheese infused shrimp (best of both worlds). Cheers Craig
One thing if fishin for yellas get them out of the net before they eat to much and get a cheesy poo shute. Have you court a yella on cheese ?.cheers Craig
As a kid I visited a property on the Dumaresq River near Texas, QLD. We used tin cans with holes punched in the bottom and a piece of rabbit flesh wired to the inside bottom. Put on a string the cans were placed in the river. This was at Xmas school holidays. Plenty of large shrimp. Boiled in salted water and peeled and eaten on fresh bread.
That was my first introduction to shrimping, around Texas with a big metal bucket with punched holes and a bar of soap attached that lived in Gradma's shed for anyone to use when needed. Had more fun catching shrimp than fishing.
Went shrimping at Darlington Creek this Easter. Left overnight and caught only five good size. Used yabby baits. Could be the water getting cooler now. A few turtles around as well. Thank you. I will try liver next time😊
Great vid Robbie some people are really bad when they don’t take their rubbish away I’m always picking up stuff irresponsible fishos leave behind. Thanks for the great vid again maybe you can show us how to put the shrimp on the hook and some nice fish you catch with them tight lines Robbie 👍
The shrimps calcium rich shell is what disturbs the PH I believe, at least that what I was told by my Animal studies teacher. Have you tried giving shrimp to Your Blue Tongue, it might be a juicy snack for him. Great videos too! I saw some shrimp not long ago and might give this a try. Thanks Robbie!
Hey Connir thanks for the great insight mate. To be honest I have thought about feeding Satan a shrimp or two but have been a bit worried with the PH thing. LOL
robbiefishing I imagine it’d be similar effect to that of yabbies, since yabbie shell consists of calcium. I wouldn’t take my word for it without doing more research. But I believe in small amounts it should be fine as long as it’s not too much, because to much calcium can be dangerous and cause deformities, Satan should be alright though
Dear robbiefishing, I've been interested in your videos and i was just wondering if you could try catch tadpoles. Its just an idea but you dont have to
I can remember fishing as a kid without needing, 1, A Licence 2, Legal Advice on the Legislation and Regulations that dominate modern life. May not have been better, but they were certainly simpler. Another informative vid mate.
Thanks mate, and you're not wrong! Things were so much simpler back then. Kids these days still do not need a fishing licence and to be honest, I think it is still simpler for them because they are probably not as accountable if they do something wrong. LOL
Hows that, i had Shrimp for lunch today, lol, it's amazing how much bush tucker we have in Vic hey, from mussles to yabbies, to shrimp, crays and of course fish. Awesome. Good work brother. ATB Moose
Thanks Moose. I just went to the dam that we caught big yabbies in last year and it is pretty much dry. It's about 1 inch deep with a dead carp laying in the bottom.
Hey Robbie, are shrimps better in the warmer December temperature or better in cold water? In my next holidays late 2021 I want to do a lot of shrimp and yabby catching. Apologies for my ignorance....
high Robbie great vid as usual but i have always used a bit of velvet soap in mine has always worked a treat maybe you could try one with soap and the other with your best choice and see if theres a difference cheer keep up the great work
Hi Gary, thanks for the idea. Would you believe that based on the other comments that I have received I am already considering that. Wise minds think alike mate.
@@robbiefishing well i know you love the young kids getting into fishing and with the cost of things these days anyway to do things cheaper for anyone is a great thing so that was my thought when i sent that comment thank you for your reply look forward to more great work from you mate always take care .
I remember goin robinvale on the Murray in the mid 90s. Used to able catch heaps of shrimps, but after the draught in the late 90s and early 2000s it’s never the same again. Does any know if it’s the draught is the cause of this?
I made my shrimp trap with plastic oil bottle , it's not as big as yours , but it will do just enough for shrimps , cause i don't want to catch any fishes it it ,I regularly used them for fishing big fishes .
Interesting about the ph change in a tank. I've never witnessed it. Maybe because my tank was well buffered. A couple of years ago I had a 3 ft tank stocked with shrimp and western carp gudgeons. Heaps of them and the tank was very healthy. It's amazing how the shrimp turn crystal clear with beautiful camouflage patterns when put in clean water. And the gudgeons get vivid blue or pink coloring on their dorsal fins depending on sex. I'd say the ph change is due to dead shrimp more than anything. They are not easy to keep alive.
Definitely not easy to keep alive but I've worked out if I just do like 60 percent water change once every 2 weeks they seem to stay alive. I also love the cool clear colours they turn in the clean water. I have rock and drift wood and water plants in my shrimp tank and they seem to love it. I do a similar set up for my yabbie tank but I give them lots of hiding holes and things to climb on.
another quality useful video. I have found that when baiting the nets there is a heap of different types, tea leaves or fresh gum leaves work. Fresh dirt with rotting vegetation also works. Frozen blood worms. Around Hamilton way there are shrimp but are rather small but I also catch southern pygmy perch by the bucket load in some of the creeks which are good perch bait. I think the shrimp are attracted to the net as a good place to hid rather than to feed. Also Rob, why didn't you wet a line whilst waiting for the shrimp!?
Hey Les, I did mate. I caught a massive crayfish but did not film it. I did get a short 1 minute clip of me releasing it which I will share tomorrow night.
Hey Trevor that is awesome! It's also fun to watch hey! I think it becomes a problem if there are too many there they do not get eaten and sit in the water over periods of time.
I don't use bait. I go down with my fish net and a torch and a bucket and scoop along the sides of the creek in weeds and small sticks even where the grass grows into the water. Usually, come home with a good 100 shrimp for live bait/to keep in my tank.
How do you go bag netting for shrimp and yabbies I live on lower reaches of the Murray this time of year waters cold and find deeper water only way we're able to score shrimp still no yabbies waters still dirty down here and fish are hit and miss. My mothers got terminal cancer and callow/ yellow belly being one of the few foods she still can eat I'm trying to maintain a feed supply for her , I've never caught or had chance of catching a Murray cod but would love her to try one and I would love the chance to catch my first but running out of time I recently tried above lock 7 near the mulleroo and only caught two yellow bellies for two days snag hopping and no cod unfortunately. What's your thoughts Robbie
Hi mate I have never used a bag net. Don't even know what it is sorry. I'm really sorry to hear about your mum. That's terrible news. As for cod you may need to try further upstream mate. The lower Murray Murray cod population is not great due to black water events over the past 10 years.
@@robbiefishing they are very effective form of shrimping when the going gets tough especially this time of year with water temps down i only just recently learnt of this method and i was blown away with the results. I was up near lock 7 recently near the muleroo and caught couple of yellas snag jumping and water clarity was so very different to down this end. I realky appreciate your quick response mate enjoy watching all your clips very informative and alot of envy watching you bring in those beauties i look forward to catching my first not through a lack of trying just location as you said i think. Black water was devastating to the fish and environment for sure big difference being felt down here for sure. Keep up the great work loving it and thanks for sharing your knowledge
@@edogthesavage8770 There will be plenty of Murray cod videos when the season opens, but it is illegal to fish for them now while the season is closed. It is also not worth interfering with spawning cod, so I prefer to wait for the season to open so that I can help look after the fish. Murray cod are 5 minutes from my house, trout are 1 hour away. It is MUCH easier to find time to go cod fishing than it is trout. Don't forget, I have a family and a job that I also like to spend a lot of my time on. They both come first. Family, then work, and then if there's enough time left....fishing!
@@robbiefishing Yeh I sometimes become a busy man when watchin TV and Sons and Daughters, and Bold and the Beautiful too LOL.

Hi mate, can not make it this Friday sorry. I have work commitments. I don't care where I catch them, but where I live there are very few channels mate so it is always the river. ;)
I use the same net as you but haven’t gotten a single shrimp I know they are in my river because I have caught them in my landing net so they are there but I’m getting none iv used dog food cheese dead fish bread you name it I’ve used it
Hey mate I usually put them closer to the edge after dark. In clear water I find they tend to either be a bit deeper or hard up close against greasy and weeds during the day. But you are spot on, closer is better.
You hook a live shrimp in the ridge on its head ,is that right Robbie? How would you hook a yabbie? I make the mistake of hooking the yabbie in the tail so that the tail is curled underneath it. Not a very good presentation. Is there a better way to do it?
Great video mate.
The absolute best part of this video is where you pick up the rubbish and make it clear it’s not cool.
Good job mate 👍🏼
Thanks mate. It's one of the biggest problems. Sadly there's a lot of rubbish there in one other spot. I could pick some up but not all.
robbiefishing any we grab helps, I just hope these grots get caught and penalized at some point..

Because all the others are weak days
Hahhahahaha love it! Only just noticed this now. Brilliant mate!
Gday Robbie, Saturday we went out along the Murray and were catching around a dozen shrimp every 1/2 hour. We were using chicken carcasses as bait. Great video by the way
Thank you soo much for the tip on the aquaponics. I would have thought it was a great idea to give your fish a big load of shrimp
Hey Robbie I am a new subscriber to your channel and I find your videos very helpful and informative. Every video I have watched has made me feel like getting into the country and going fishing
Thank you so much for your kind words.
Shrimp and yabby videos are one of my favourites keep it up Robbie
Thanks so much Sander. I have a few more coming up.
Thanks for this video Robbie. Next time I'm up on the river I'll give this a go. Have a good day mate. Cheers 👍
Thanks so much mate. It won't be long before the shrimp start to move here.
I've been watching your videos for ages. Geese I like the clarity of pictures of the videos on your newer ones.
Thank you so much Peter.
I would love to have a Murray cod or yellow belly in a tank one day, great vid Robbie lovely shrimp too😀
Thanks heaps Dale. Om sure one day you can have those fish mate.
Go to Trelly’s Shepparton, there’s a metre long cod in a tank
I use dried dog food and add a small branch with a few leaves on it to give them some cover. Easy to clean the bait out and works well for me
Is there any particular brand of dry dog food that you find works the best?
Shrimp are a good bait anywhere in fresh water!
Melbourne vic doesn’t have much shrimp

Yeah it seems like there's no time to go fishing these days
The aniseed soap works a treat

Hey Robbie next time you go shrimp fishing have a go at using gumleaves they work really well 👍
I catch them in the brisbane river .The brisbane river has become a great fishing spot now they have stopped dredging
Went shrimping at Darlington Creek this Easter. Left overnight and caught only five good size. Used yabby baits. Could be the water getting cooler now. A few turtles around as well.

nice shrimp they would be sick bait. do another give away it was really exiting!
Been told sunlight soap works great as a bait
OK cool! Thanks for the tip.
We use soap and a few bits tasty cheese. Works well. Don't use soap that has a perfume pure soap is best

what do u think the best bait for shrimp anyone. good video Robbie

Thanks buddy would you believe in actually our filming a video about freshwater shrimp right now?
What food you put in that trap
Hey Robbie greats video I catch my shrimp by hand aha
Fish frames are good
Great vid robbie👍
Thanks heaps Charlie.
Can you freeze them for later use or need to be used live?
Freeze with sawdust in a freezer bag. Works well
Dog or cat biscuits work great as bait in the nets too.
Thanks mate. Heaps of people have told me this tonight. LOL I think I need to give it a crack! Are dry biscuits best? Goodo's? LOL
robbiefishing Yeah just use any dry dog food. If you have a dog whatever you feed him/her would work fine. 👍🏻

Hi mate, these are Macrobracheum Australianese.
@@robbiefishing ok
Sorta feel they were your cans.....

I'd keep some as pets...
which bait is used to freshwater shrimp
Robbie I think that you are putting the shrimp nets to far out. You should put them closer to the bank. Just a quick tip.
Hey mate I usually put them closer to the edge after dark. In clear water I find they tend to either be a bit deeper or hard up close against greasy and weeds during the day. But you are spot on, closer is better.
Soap and gum leaves work well
Robbie make sure you put an air rater in with the shrimp or they will die buddy
Hey Robbie I thought those nets were banned?
Hi mate these bait traps are fine. It is the opera house nets that are illegal. That's in Victoria anyway. I dont know about other states.
Good video Robbie
Put some sope in there. They love it

Can I catch yellow belly on dead prawns
thanks bro
take my subsc you deserve for your honest
Hi mate thanks so much for your kind words.
Nice
Thanks mate. 👍👍
You hook a live shrimp in the ridge on its head ,is that right Robbie? How would you hook a yabbie? I make the mistake of hooking the yabbie in the tail so that the tail is curled underneath it. Not a very good presentation. Is there a better way to do it?
Gday Phillip, I only ever hook them through the tail mate, both yabbies and shrimp.
Kmart close their doors in oregon. I miss them.
Me and my dad catch carp on shrimp all the time in nsw
I don't think that theres many fish that do not like them mate.
Good video mate
