Here is a link to the rules for bait traps in Victoria. If you make your trap bigger than is legally permitted, it then becomes a drum net, and drum nets are highly illegal.

Thanks so much mate. I remember my dad making me one when I was a kid too. We put it in the One Mile Creek in Wangaratta. It was full of carp and yabbies. The first thing we caught was a.... redfin. Haha 🤣 There was no maximum funnel size back then.

When I was a kid I made one like that, they do indeed work. However my preference is a store bought one that looks like a hemisphere type shape, it has a flat bottom, and it can all fold flat. I find this is the best for transport and for Yabby catch rate. Plus being made of non metal, I can't accidentally jab myself on it, and it won't corrode, I still have this store bought one today, it's about 16 years old and still going strong, it has caught probably thousands of yabbies in total.

I used to throw a few traps in, go exploring around his farm, get my life threatened by his sheep before returning and catching heaps of yabbies.

Made quite a bit of pocket money selling hundreds to aquariums for 20c each, until they figured out what a yabbie could do to a tropical fishes tail! :-) On the Murrumbidgee as a young teen they used to make huge ones out of reo mesh to catch Murray Crays, they were so big it took two of us to pull them out of the river and we could walk into them!

Hey Robbie - top video! I agree totally with you on making stuff for yourself! Sometimes it is just so satisfying! :) You spoke about how rules differ from region to region - as a good example, you used redfin as cut bait in one of your yabbie traps, which is legal in Vic, but in NSW and SA it is a strict no-no to use redfin as bait in any way, shape or form, dead or alive. Redfin are not yet classified as a noxious pest in Vic, but it's only a matter of time. it is already a noxious pest in most other states. Even though it is not illegal in VIC, transferring redfin between water systems (even when dead) is still a bad idea as it can result in them spreading via unhatched eggs attached to the dead carcass, and also spreading diseases they carry, particularly to native fish stocks. Anyway - love the vids and always look forward them coming out!

One state let's you keep 100 crayfish regardless of species. Some states require a license or permit, some don't. And some individual rivers or lakes have their own special rules. . Rules change periodically, so always double check before you harvest. . At least one river in NSW has non native red clawed crayfish. Dont know if you're allowed to harvest them though.

Is a yellow belly the same thing as a golden perch? Is a red fin an Engilsh perch or a pickerel? . You should be able to catch yabbies in dams all year, depending on water temperature. I've caught signal crayfish in water at high elevation that temped at around 8°C, but never in winter. Lakes and ponds do sometimes have active crayfish in winter- especially if there is thermocline layer of warmer water several feet below the surface. The ideal water temp for catching yabbies (and most crayfish) is 13° to 25° (if I did my calculations right 56°F to 77°F). If the water temp is below 5° or much above 30°- that's not conducive.

I haven't looked up the NSW rules, this video is based in Victoria. I thought they allowed bait traps too but i could be wrong.

@@robbiefishing the main body u made was shorter because u put the first piece down on the ground then u cut the next piece which was meant to b for the end funnels on the ground next to the first piece, then u cut the door section, and when u started making the main cylinder you must of picked up the piece u cut for funnel ends. 😂

Haha thanks mate. Thebold tree guard excuse. 🤣🤣🤣 Air filters sound like an awesome idea. I bet they worked a treat.

Best trap? It's just the basic design we made as kids.. no anti escape, sharp metal edges everywhere, and mesh is too small so you catch everything.
