G'day again Robbie. I've been checking the yabby numbers coming to the edge to feed at night in my dam- six last night. It'll be close to a hundred when the water warms a bit- we both need to be patient :) Robbie I don't know if you or the missus are gardeners, but we grow most of our veges and have lots of fruit trees, plus flowers etc. I bring all my carp home and either bury a big one under fruit trees now and then, or put a layer of them on one of the compost heaps and cover them with leaves, lawn clippings, dirt etc. I buried nearly sixty fish, up to three kilos, in one heap last summer and I've just added it to the wifes vege beds. We've seen two gill covers and two big scales- that's it. The rest has completely broken down into fantastic compost,- the best you can get- almost no effort and no smell. Too good to waste :) Cheers mate. Jay.
Thanks so much Jay. I use to enjoy gardening but haven't had a garden for years. I've had a colourful life. I've been married twice. When I was with my first wife I loved gardening. I even spent 12 months working in a nursery back in the late 90s. After we divorced I lost interest in just about everything except fishing. Most things came back but the gardening but never did unfortunately. Every time I start a veggie garden it ends in weeds and dead plants. I can't help but think that when I'm older it will all come back.
Robbie I hunt quite a bit- I'm a flintknapper and bow hunt using stone arrowheads that I make myself- have done for decades. Also love fishing. We garden and have a couple of Jersey cows. There's nothing more satisfying to me that sitting down to a beautiful meal- main course and sweets- where everything on the table we've produced ourselves. It's good for the soul mate :) @@robbiefishing
Robbie, the only good thing about catching carp is that you are getting is that you are reducing their numbers but they are hardly an accomplishment. Love you man x
Another great video Robbie….I encourged my grandson to “sink the carp” after capture but I showed him how to dispose of the fish quickly then put the knife in the vent and slice up toward the gills….simple and effective.
Quality over quantity with those yabbies and a good session at the lkae. I have a friend from Finley that goes over there a bit and Murray Cod are in there. Nice job and not a bad way to spend a beautiful afternoon.
Thanks so much Larry. Next time I go over I might have to take a bait that is more "yellowbelly specific" like live yabbies. I will probably sit there all afternoon without getting a bite then. Haha
@@robbiefishing There is a suburb in Sydney called North Ryde. At North Ryde there is or was a Mental Asylum. Whenever Dad would see someone doing something stupid on the road or just driving poorly in some way he would say "they are obviously with the NRMA". This was until I pointed out that he actually WAS with the NRMA lol.
Great day out for you there Robbie, it probably would have been perfect if you were to get onto one or two Yella’s. A question for you mate, when was the last time you visited Spec Savers? I’m only asking because yesterday’s video you had a problem identifying a cow print from a foot print, today it was a dark stick or a black snake! Keep up the awesome work you do my friend 👍🏼
Great stuff mate. I must get out and try the place I’ve been trying to tell you about and see if there’s any activity. Byrne lagoon just south of the Murray River bridge on the Lincoln causeway definitely has something in it, I see boils almost every morning when I pass it. It has (used to for sure) yabbies and a lot of turtles but after the flooding there could be anything in there.
That sounds awesome Glen, good luck. No doubt there will be something there, but what? I have this belief that Australia is a very dry continent and no reasonable amount of water will go to waste. There may be carp. If not, then there might be redfin, or yabbies, or even turtles. Something will definitely be using it in one way or another.
I would of thought it was a brown snake to m8 , I was a rice farmer back in the 90s and walking up the rice banks one season I killed 60 browns and dad got 83 all with a shovel , they love that rice water with the frogs
Enough yabbies for a meal and the carp might not be desirable but they kept the day active and entertaining. Thank you for sharing. The discussion of record fish a few days back sort of continues. We have an assortment of "snapping turtles" here. A very large one was recently reported but won't occupy any record slots as it was found beached and deceased. No apparent cause of death so maybe just age.
@@robbiefishing age was one speculation due to the size. Cause of death could have been many things. Pollution being what it is in the states. Could have tangled with a poisonous snake. Many possibilities.
Gday robbie great video today mate you got some big yabbies and a few carp i was thinking it would be good to get some weights on the fish you catch its just a thought .But anyway brother great video
Hahaha I must remember to always set it up like that. 😂😂😂 They were amazing mate. I actually cook them in my video on Sunday night. I catch a heap more, throw them all together and have a big cook up in the bush. Complete with lemon juice. Haha
This is gonna' sound bad...But I'm 10 minutes in and you haven't caught many yabbies.😀 The Mrs and I spent most of July down around the Murray and Riverina (yes it was freezin') but I tried yabbying Caught Zero. But I did get about 1/2 dozen shrimps which I threw back. So in a perverse way it cheers me when a fellow fisherman doesn't do too well. Cheers Robbie, love your work mate.
Haha love it. I'm not sure if there are many yabbies there or not to be honest. I always include the slow trips on my channel. There's a lot of channels that only show the highlights. I prefer to document my adventures, the good and the bad. All of my Fishless trips get a mention on my Monthly Mash-up video each month. Haha
Hey Robbie, been loving watching your channel, not much else to do with a broken back and hand 🪜 can’t wait to get back into it again 👍🏼 good on ya mate
Yeah mate I’m on the mend, I can’t wait to get a rod and rifle back in my hand, and awesome to see you get a good size cod out fishing with the legendary Steve starling 👍🏼😁
A great video but in qld we can't throw dead carp back in the water we have to dispose of them above the high water mark apparently the eggs can stay viable for approximately 6 months after the fish has been killed is this true ,?
Thanks mate. I don't believe that for one minute. I believe you, and believe the rule, but done believe that eggs from a dead fish can still survive. The timing would have to be absolutely spot on, right when the fish is about to drop. The eggs wouldn't survive long in a dead fish. And then there's the issue of finding a male willing to fertilise them.
@@robbiefishingSame for talapia Robbie in Queensland . I had a look in Fogg dam Nt in a hollow log and found a Siamese fighting fish .People are dumping all sorts in the creeks.
Hi Mick, I bought mine in Coles last summer and still have some. Im almost out so will need more. Someone told me that they've been discontinued, I really hope that's not true.
With Carp Robbie I do similar, but I also cut them open in case they have any eggs, Carp are so tough I’m not sure that the eggs are not viable even though the fish is dead. What do you think, am I wasting my time? Thanks for another great video.
Thanks mate. I think the timing would need to be precision accurate before there was a problem. The parent carp isn't just a storage device. They feed the eggs, their could be issues with temperature and importantly, they still need to be fertilised by a male. I guess if the carp was seconds from dropping and then you there it back in with males it could be a problem, but I doubt it. Then there's the fact that I caught 10 or so, and there's probably 2,000,000 in there with eggs that I didn't catch. That's just my theory, and I'm not an expert.
I just asked him what he was using, and he said to watch it again, this time with the volume up because he tells you exactly what type of nets he is using within the first 30 seconds of the video.
What some big yabbies ain't it weird one side will have yabbies the other side don't have anything the last check you get one i cant get water ways like that haha
As you can see, I'm catching up on your previous vids, I'm a bit envious that you're able to kill those carp and eat other fish you catch like perch, we're only allowed to take trout (rare) or salmon (very rare) plus it costs a fortune to fish the waters that have them. Carp breed like rabbits and those under 10 lbs are easy to catch, 5 hour fishing matches regularly produce winning weights of over 300 lb plus. I'm really enjoying your channel, thanks, take care, Norfolk, UK, Ray
Thank you so much Ray. We really are so lucky down here in Aus mate. We have so much room and space between people, and great access to many waterways. If I even get the chance to go fishing in the UK, I will want to go crayfishing. I know you have the American Signal Crayfish over there.
Thanks for the entertainment. If they stock the lake with native fish, then why not try to electro as many carp as possible? Native fish against carp is a no win, all about competition.
That would be great, but I don't know that it would make much difference. All you need is 2 carp and as soon as we get a wet year like last year they all come back. If there was someone there doing it regularly that may help. A weekly carp run. LOL
I dont like the bait bombs in the drop style nets, i reckon the yabbies go in for the scent and soon realise they cant get anything from it and crawl back out hence why the longer you leave it doesnt mean there will be more. Just my theory.
Robbie be careful throwing carp back into the water regardless if its dead is an offense - their eggs can still be released after death and on the bank etc - dont wanna risk a 20,000$ fine - put em in the bin if your in a park 👍
Not all places are good in shallow water my biggest yabbie was in a creek that was 2 metres deep And regularly get good sized ones at a dam off the end of a jetty and that’s like 2.3 metres deep but these little shallow spots can be good but there’s slot that don’t have any in them even if they look like the one in this video
Dead carp can't spawn mate. That is just a myth. The parent carp isn't just an egg holding device. The parent actually feeds those eggs. The moment the patent dies, so would the eggs. Even if they didn't, it would need to be timed perfectly for a male to come along and fertilise them. Males usually stimulate females to get them to drop eggs. They do this by rubbing against them as they swim. They wouldn't be stimulating these dead carp. And even if they did, there's still 2 million carp in there that I didn't catch. And if I didn't go fishing those fish would all still be alive. LOL But at the end of the day, I highly doubt that these small carp would be mature enough to carry eggs anyway.
I love coming home from work and there’s an video of Robbie to watch, makes my day!! 😁 I wish you had your own tv show with daily episodes !

Hell yea that is heaven
Well rob , that's was a nice busy outing...shame the yabby weren't out in force, but there is always next time ...
Thanks rob ..
Cheers
😎🏴🎣
Thanks so much Mike. That's one of my favourite parts of Australia up there.
I've been obsessed by "Yabbys" since i was 5. In Newcastle NSW, we call them Crawchies. Thanks for the video. Niiiice...
Thanks so much mate. I have been obsessed with them since I was a kid too. Haha
Love it Rob!
Thanks Les. The yabbying is really picking up quickly around here at the moment.
Hey Robbie,
How about a velcro strap through the Berly Bomb and through the netting. It should stop the sway a fair bit.
Thanks mate, what a great idea.
Thanks what a brilliant reflection excellent session Good size yabbies
Thanks so much Peter. 👍👍
Hey Robbie! Loving the videos and you have inspired me to get yabbying more! ❤
Thanks mate, that's awesome. Good luck.
Another great video Robbie….I encourged my grandson to “sink the carp” after capture but I showed him how to dispose of the fish quickly then put the knife in the vent and slice up toward the gills….simple and effective.

Thanks so much Kelvin.

Yeah Robbie we were out at Wakool, there everywhere in those parts
I reckon a few funnel traps in there overnight would do the trick. Nice to see them that size.

Thanks mate. Yes, after catching a carp that I estimate to be 20lb yesterday, I really wished I had a set of scales with me. I must buy some..
That was cool! 🙂 I wonder if there's any shrimp and yabbies in the lake 🤔🎣
Thanks mate. I could probably guarantee that there would be yabbies in there. I would be surprised if there wasn't shrimp as well.
@@robbiefishingnice, go on the other side, catch the bait and get the yellowbelly 😁

U should do the meat on a string for some yabbies while you wait for the traps

If you used chicken, instead of dog biscuits i guarantee you'd catch more Robbie. Ive been testingvthe theory for the past 2 years.
I use chicken a lot. It's excellent bait, probably my favourite.
i caught 15 yabbies in a crab net in 5mins
WOW that's really cool, well done buddy..
Robbie be careful throwing carp back into the water regardless if its dead is an offense - their eggs can still be released after death and on the bank etc - dont wanna risk a 20,000$ fine - put em in the bin if your in a park 👍
Thanks mate. You can use them as Yabby bait in NSW so I can't see the difference in putting them back in a net or out of one. LOL
carp is the best yabbie bait put some in your nets please your throwing away good bait
It sure is excellent bait.
Getting slow in old age
Who me or the yabbies?
Not all places are good in shallow water my biggest yabbie was in a creek that was 2 metres deep
And regularly get good sized ones at a dam off the end of a jetty and that’s like 2.3 metres deep but these little shallow spots can be good but there’s slot that don’t have any in them even if they look like the one in this video
Absolutely mate. You never know where they will turn up.
Yeah u might have killed the carp which is good it’s just as bad putting the body back in what if it had eggs about to spawn out they still could mate
Dead carp can't spawn mate. That is just a myth. The parent carp isn't just an egg holding device. The parent actually feeds those eggs. The moment the patent dies, so would the eggs. Even if they didn't, it would need to be timed perfectly for a male to come along and fertilise them.
Males usually stimulate females to get them to drop eggs. They do this by rubbing against them as they swim.
They wouldn't be stimulating these dead carp.
And even if they did, there's still 2 million carp in there that I didn't catch. And if I didn't go fishing those fish would all still be alive. LOL
But at the end of the day, I highly doubt that these small carp would be mature enough to carry eggs anyway.
