Ep 326 | We GO CRABBING in Peanut! Sailing Nutshell, Darwin 

I definitely think you need an Old Peculiar or two🍺🍺🍺

wow new boat! I love Nutshell

Your best beer!!! Review ever.

Yay! It's been a while sinve i heard the phrase "You know when........."

This has made me thirsty, think I'll have a Sherbet Fountain!

My dad used to visit Darwin on business trips in the 1960's and I remember him telling me that bits of flotsam like oxygen tanks from Japanese aircraft still used to occasionally wash up on the beaches of the harbor after storms. His dad's Military Veteran's grave is in the cemetery on Mcmillans road.

Correction, thanks for this video Magnus and Wendy

Its been a while since we have had a beer review, almost as rare as mud crabs.

Hope for another 65 footer and you were both Busy Beavers trying to get those mud crabs. Muddy River and thanks for this video dinosaur Monday, see you next time❤

Thanks for another great episode guy's 👍 I loved the beer review made my day!!! 🍻

Great video as always. Chicken Curry for us too. Pre holiday meeting, making plans , like how much beer to bring. . Narrowboat on the Shroppie.

Your face said it all...l'd give it 1 out of 10 BUT only if it was ice cold & l didn't even taste it😅😂

Nice video, you have massive tides up there, try chicken hearts for bait, might be good but you will need bait holders as they are smal

You need a nice pint of Greene King Abbott Ale

I can remember when there wouldn't be room for many Muddies in nets that size, but given how scarce they now appear to be, I wonder if a complete moratorium on fishing for them with cooee of Darwin might be necessary if their numbers are to recover.

Beer infused Beer would work for me.

Magnus I don't know what the rules and regulations have to say about it these days or what one costs now but I used to bait crab nets with a perforated tin of pet food which occasionally served as berley as well. I used to repeatedly push a rod through the contents which generally pong like a zombies socks when you open one particularly if you let it ripen a bit before use and perforation allows water to better penetrate and disperse a tempting invitation for crustaceans to dine. The berley trail it produced sometimes attracted fish as well as crabs and drowning some bait (I have never done much lure fishing for anything bigger than live bait) could be productive while sitting about contemplating life, the universe and everything. From a mate who was a doctor I got my graspers on some whopping great 60ml 'drawing up' syringes that look like the cooling jacket on a Vicker's Machine gun and blunt ended needles for them reminiscent of a barrel for one. Apparently medical people use the fiendish things to prepare doses of stuff to harpoon hapless patients with. I originally used the syringes to top up small motorcycle batteries with distilled water but using them to dispense fish oil provided a bit of extra zest after a container of bait or berley had been languishing in the water for a while. A 'catfood colander' is relatively easy to attach securely in a net or pot. Lasts longer than unprotected bait because all the wee nibblers can't scoff it before desirable target species find it. Can be simply disposed of in a bin after use and worked relatively well for blue swimmers. From watching all your episodes several times now I imagine you might make up your own container should the technique also have some merit in your opinion. I remember one crabbing trip with an old mate in my tinny when he fiddled about attaching a fish head to his net while I chucked in a stink cartridge and heaved mine overboard. When next my cobber checked his net a ray or Port Jackson shark had managed to tear the fish head free unnoticed and wrought carnage on his net in the process so it surfaced minus contents looking a bit like it had been through the propeller of a tugboat.

Barrett's sherbet fountain,

Better luck next time on another sailboat purchase. Tough no large crabs. Keep trying. Can you store yourcrab pot locations as way points on your gps? I like my beers cold and a tad bitter.

Deschutes Brewery, Bend Oregon. Just in case your in those parts.

The crabs are being difficult

Magnus did clothes moth or termites get to that shirt? Well ventilated anyway.

How did you go about getting your cruising visa for indonesia thks for reply

Do you ever go in the Dinah beach yacht club ? Il buy you a beer or two when I. Home next June !

they shouldnt be allowed to call it beer, its a fizzy fruit drink.

I love your beer reviews. But, I have to say, that I cringed watching you drink fruit punch and trying to give it an honest review. 2 out of 10. Thanks for the effort. Larry
