    G'day knackers.... Just like u i too was bought up on them too.. I tend to use home made drum nets or opera house nets myself.. My idea of a good feed is to fill a bath tub full of 9" yabbies an let them soak for a few days changen the water offten, another trick while doing that is to feed the yabbies Garlic an they really taste so much better .. My kids an i often camp out on our farm fishing an ferreting rabbits or even catching ferryl pigs.. Keep in touch via E-mail if u like..

    Great video mate :) you seem like a solid bloke. Do you know what type of conditions yabbies have to be in to be edible? I live right next to a public lake, Wynn Vale dam. I know there's yabbies in there i've caught a heap of em, but I don't know if its edible because its also protected by the council. And who knows what they put in there, is it safe to say I should find another spot for eating yabbies?

    Thanks heaps mate. In all honesty I do not fully know the answer to your question. I would imagine they would be OK but I advise that you ask somebody else. I eat them out of putrid dirty farm dams. That dirty water is usually filthy to look at, but not so much polluted. Then you have clear water with a lot of pollutants in it such as chemical run off etc... Don't confuse dirty water with polluted water, they are two different things. I am sorry that I can not help you out more mate.

    1. Have yabbies to cook, dead or alive 2. Boil a pot (size depending on how many yabbies you have 3. Add a lot of salt, also vinegar if you want (it tastes nicer) 4. Put the yabbies in the boiling pot, put the lid on and leave to cook for around 7 minutes, if you have a lot more and it's crowded in the pot cook for longer 5. Drain the water from pot and you have freshly cooked yabbies!

    Drop net for yabbies is a totally dumb idea - sure it have some success, but a cage with dual entry and no escape is a way better method - No tangling, and the crays will stay in so you can leave the cage over night (they often feed during early morning and dark times as well, going into a sleep mode during the day) - so leave the traps over night would not hurt a bit
