OMG I caught some HUGE yabbies
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Finally, some very big yabbies have made their way into my yabby nets. While these are not record breaking yabbies, they are still quite big, and to get a few of them is absolutely amazing.
Cherax is the genus of crustacean that has a smooth shell, such as a yabby, hance the scientific name Cherax Destructor. Speaking of destructor, imagine what would happen if I stuck my little finger into the claws of one of these very big yabbies. CHOMP!
Finding these big yabbies has been a journey for me this season. It has been an absolute pleasure, and enjoyable journey, but a journey none the less.
I have found waterways with no yabbies, waterways with no water, lakes with plenty of small yabbies etc... but is has taken me quite a while to hit the yabbying jackpot.
I hope you enjoy this video of me catching some big yabbies on a private property dam today because believe me, I sure enjoyed making it!
For anybody wondering, the yabby is an Australian freshwater crustacean, very similar to the mudbud, crawfish, crawdad and crayfish found in America. There are so many different species and I get confused. I know a lot of American people comment on my videos making reference to crawfish, or crawdads so I think they must be pretty closely related.

@Alan Rudy It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much you saved my account :D
Back when i was a young bloke,I always put clean tap water in a foam box with some carrot For about 5 days. It cleans the yabbies out and makes them taste even better.
Watching your videos bring me a little bit of enjoyment to my miserable life. Keep up the hard work in making these videos.

@@robbiefishing jeeze Mate...you make it look easy. I'm going hunting for yabbies in March down Jindabyne way. ..everyone says ...look out for snakes. What do you recommend as foot wear...and do you put any yabbies into clean water for them to purge or...a good mud scrub and then the pot. How do you recommend to cook them. I'd hate to kill and then not maximize they're great taste...not having tasted one as yet. Also...where do you get the tops you wear. I'm a big lad too...but mostly a short sleeved bloke. My mate has several dams in cattle country. Theyve been dug out and are slowly refilling. Should these dams be restocked with yabbies assuming they can survive in there. Fish are in there...were there...they tainted the ducks I shot there. Smelled of fish as I took the breasts. Yellow fat was just like fish taint. Yuk. Ducks are safe for now. You've got a good screen presence. Big Men Rock

As for cooking, I have a video called "How to cook yabbies" If you look for that you will find the most common way to cook them. Also, I have a video coming our later this week where I catch and cook yabbies in a way that I have never cooked them before. I hope this all helps mate.

Thanks mate. There's so many variables, but I have always found the larger yabbies seem to be in dirty farm dams. The rivers around here tend to have much smaller yabbies. In saying that, there are a lot of variables from river to river. Perhaps a larger dirtier and warmer river in a different area may have larger yabbies?

I enjoy your show and have been watching it for some time but about two weeks ago subscribed. The one thing that I wish you would do is more catch and Cooks.I remember a couple of shows ago you indicated that you were not a good cook maybe you could collaborate with your wife if she is because I think that most of us who love to hunt and fish are thinking about how good our stuff is going to be when we cook and eat it. I just bought 2 very high-end crawfish traps and looking forward to the weather being warm enough to start fishing them. They were about $80 us each so hopefully they pan out nice. Good luck and keep the videos, and I look forward to them.
That old intro is honestly better than the new one

Hey Robbie. This may sound "stupid", but could you please do a vid on how to assemble these types of pots. I'm just wondering if in the folded position they would fit in the boot of my commodore. Then once I get em out of the boot, how do you set em up and prepare. I'm familiar with the Opera House but this new type seem quite different. Pete
