On my second crayfishing trip of the season my friend Tim and I caught some truly massive crayfish. We had a great crayfishing trip catching plenty of crays. We caught undersize crays, legal sized crays and some massive oversized crayfish. I love catching these huge crays. Even though they are protected by a number of laws, they are still amazing to just admire. Beautiful big old crayfish.
For US viewers, these are Spiny Murray Crayfish and they are the second largest freshwater crayfish in the world. They are much different to your crawfish, or crawdads. Our yabbies are much more like crawfish.

The size of your crays never ceases to amaze me

@robbiefishing Год назад

Thanks mate. Ever since the of the slot limit the number of oversized crayfish has increased.

@FishtalkVideo Год назад

Awesome! Seems to be a great population of crays from small to large in the Ovens at the moment. The future looks bright.

@robbiefishing Год назад

Thanks Ross you're not wrong. I'm so glad that I got down there a couple of times before the floods. Who knows when it will be open again!

@brucemoffatt Год назад

Another good session. Good to see the fisheries out there protecting the stocks. Thanks Tim and Robbie.

@robbiefishing Год назад

Thanks Bruce, it is always great to see them out and about. I have to admit, I was nervous when he measured them. Just in case we had not checked for eggs properly or in case we stuffed up measuring one. LOL Thankfully we got it all right. Haha

Looking GOOD boys!

@robertmcgee3602 Год назад

So. little bit of trivia for ya. American lobsterman have similar regs about oversize undersize lobsters. When they bring a female with eggs up, they notch their tails to make them more easily identifiable if you catch them without eggs.

@robbiefishing Год назад

Hi Robert, that is a great idea to ensure the big female can breed again next season.

Those are bigger than a lot of New England lobster! Wow!

@robbiefishing Год назад

These are the second largest freshwater crustacean in the world. They're amazing hey.

@jasonr5989 Год назад

Australia has the 3 biggest freshwater crayfish species in the World. 1st: Tasmanian giant freshwater crayfish ( 50cm+/20 inches + , 6kg/13lb+ ); 2nd: Murray River crayfish ( 40cm+/16 inches + , 2kg+/4.4lb+ ); 3rd: Marron ( 30-40cm/2kg/4.4lb ).

Nice work Robbie! I knew they'd be big after the carp die off up that way but jeez this early and already over sized... It'll only get better! 😀 Can't wait to see what my neck of S.Gippy holds this year!

@robbiefishing Год назад

Thanks mate. I think the slot limit is having positive benefits on the crays too.

Thanks Robbie I reckon crays are on the comeback thanks to some sensible management

@robbiefishing Год назад

Thanks Peter so do I. Ever since the Introduction of the slot limit there's been a definite increase in the number of these big monster crays.

@Urbanfisho Год назад

NICE pricklies!

@robbiefishing Год назад

Thanks UF. I reckon the slot limits are definitely leading to more oversized crayfish.

@Urbanfisho Год назад

@@robbiefishing Yep, they're being left alone, & usually the bigger they ARE, the MORE eggs they produce! Which will (theoretically) lead to a BIGGER population!

Hey Robbie, hope your well mate. I usually go crayfishing near Corowa. But im heading up to swan Hill and was wondering if its worth throwing some nets in whilst im there. Do you know if they are caught up that way??

Hi mate, The Murray River is managed by NSW fisheries. I'm pretty sure crayfishing is banned in that area.

Why did you throw that first one back?

Hi Julie, it was over sized. Crayfish have a slot limit. Minimum 10cm and Maximum 12cm. That is the carapace length. This one was over 13cm and is protected by the maximum size limit.

Really handy tip Robbie is always wear gloves for handling crayfish. Always annoyed me with the spikes and with gloves, it helps protect you from the spikes, just make sure you wet them for better handling for the cray. BIG BIG embarrassment from Carlton last night 😢. I was at the games Your dad would’ve remembered the 70s and 80s in the Carlton vs Richmond rivalries 😂
