geez Robbie, you usually struggle to not check them for half hour.. but 5 days?! haha.. rippa size, and great vid' mate 👌👍

@robbiefishing

haha Thanks mate. I checked them after half an hour but left that scene out so that the video wouldn't be too long. LOL

I was taught that yabbies and eels move when the water starts running. We got a professional eel catcher in to clean out our dam before we stocked with red claw and last year we had a blue craw yabbie that was about 3 times bigger than than that blue with eggs all over her. Another thing I learnt is that if you see a turtle laying eggs high above the water line or climbing areas that you would not ordinarily think you'd find a turtle, the wet season will be strong as they're looking for higher ground to lay eggs. Last year I nearly ran over a turtle about 300m from the river up a steep incline and knew this year was going to be WET. IT'S AMAZING WHAT AUSTRALIAN WILDLIFE CAN TELL US ABOUT OUR WEATHER AND ENVIROMENT. Us silly white fellas still have a lot to learn and it's very disappointing that you can't see platypus like we used to when we were kids. Isn't it great to see our country with some running water again!? BEAUTIFUL!!!

Haha 5 days your patience has grown quite a bit

@@robbiefishing Heck yeah Robbie!! I have a few ways of catching them. If I'm in the big creeks , i'll swim / snorkel bank to bank for a good 3 miles and fill up two 5 gallon buckets.........OR go out with a buddy and drop traps in the Columbia river. I have pulled up traps that had around 200+ yabbies in there , and some are monsters. Different breed than what you have there , but I have caught some with claws up to 4". I'm also only 1 hour from the coast , where I dive of set traps for crabbing , but also spearfish as well. Honestly though.......some of the best crawdad fishing days I have ever had , were in the smaller creeks , just walking up current and checking every square inch. Even in little creeks.......you would be amazed at how big some of those suckers get! Close to the river size!! I promise you , when the season comes in a few months , I will at least try to get you some pictures!!

Holy dooley mate, the horse I backed in the Melbourne Cup this year wasn’t that big. Just as quick though. Thanks for sharing mate.

WOW that was a lot bigger than what I normal see! I would suggest trying to suspend the bait in the middle of net especially if the body of water is rocky or curved as then they can just crawl up and around the net and still get the bait.

I usually find that the smaller yabbies start moving out first and then the big ones start becoming more active so should be plenty of big yabbies in that dam that will soon rise from the mud mate, hopefully the same size and as that big one aswell.

@robbiefishing

Hey James thanks mate, I hope you are right. Sounds like a very good explanation though.

I miss Arkansas. White River mudbugs in Cotter. Good eating.

A little piece of advice from a Cajun here in Louisiana! If you want to catch many more and load your nets fast get you some really bloody meat and put that in your traps! Crawfish love bloody meat and just like a shark they can smell the blood in the water! Over here we use meat called Melt and usually when we pick up our nets after a hour or two the crawfish are falling out of the net there are so many! Anyway the meat we call melt looks a lot like liver like calf liver or even hog liver and the crawfish love it! If you try my suggestion let me know how it works out for you?

Nice 1!

I’m not sure about the net style you’re using, Robbie, but I know they can walk in and out of the opera house style with steel rings on the entries. I’ve had about 25 in one, which was wired shut. I didn’t have a bucket with me, so I threw it back in, and pulled it out an hour later and there was only half the original count.
