How To Catch More MUD CRABS With 3 Simple Tricks & Tips 

I'm sitting here in bed watching your video swatting away mozzies thinking I'm being attacked 😁

As the sun starts to set Skidpig figures out why there are no foot prints on his perfect tiny sand bar Along with the fish, the tide will bring back the giant Crocs. It was at this time Skidpig remembered he has to go to work in the morning. 😎👍🤙. 🐊

One more tip for QLD globe. Click: layers > Add layers > Elevation > Hillshade traditional Then you can zoom in and find every drain that won't even show on aerial imagery. You can also make an account in qld globe and save your maps in your phones cache for offline use. Better than screenshots because you can use the gps to pinpoint the points of interest.

did not know about the QLD globe, thanks for the heads up fella

I'm 51, been crabbing all me life. Best tip. There is only 1 thing worse than having your pot poached and crabs taken AND THATS, NOT KNOWING IF YOU HAVE BEEN POACHED. So, I always cable tie my pots shut, usually in both the center of the round pots like in this vid and also the hook that usually hooks onto the ring frame. I want to know more than anything if I have been poached, BECAUSE, then I can look at all the other variables to try and figure out why no crabs ? Was it the spot, the tides, the moon, the tide size, etc etc etc. ALSO cable tying will cause some thieves to just drop the pot, WHY, well maybe don't have a knife handy, maybe the small amount of time to cut the ties may put someone off etc etc so in some cases it can stop thieves. If you don't cable tie and you get a blank, you have no idea if you have been robbed or not, so have no chance to know if the spot was any good.

“I’ve got sunscreen in my eye” Now you know how she feels!

We call the cylinder pots ‘Gully Pots’. Once in the water with each funnel facing the current directions, you lift the pot up and then dropping it until it rolls/sits in the lowest area. The gully. I use 9 strand paracord, it sinks to 🍺🍺

Great to see you back bro

Definitely worth doing.

Great work mate onto it 👍 watched wearing headphones and think a mozzie is in me ear ……top quality asmr 😂 got me on the last vid I watched also bloody mozzies

Rope is a great idea and plate idea definitely seems plausible 🤙🍻🍻

If a plastic plate is too expensive, use a Frisbee. They are free when the neighbourhood kids throw them in your yard 🤣

Beautiful spots. Plate idea definitely a poer.

The mozzie noise was making me itch while watching haha , great vid 👍

Plates look like a brilliant idea

Plate idea is good as I do something very similar I use the plastic coated gutter guard to close it. As I have seen to many crabs sitting on outside of pot getting free feed close it up make them come inside

Both ideas look good Skiddy.

Beautiful drive thru analogy ba😁

Great idea skid great spot

Looks like a great spot... with more time

Hey mate that was me hanging out the window up near the Bohle barn this arvo. Love the vids bro once my boat is done will have to do a tag along trip.

Im swatting the mozzies here at the computer hearing that! lol

Your on to something mate. Try again when they can sit for a couple of tides and they will load up 😎👍🏼

Plate would work for sure. 🤙

Great video mate love watching them.....got my hat and cooler the other day lets go 🤘🤘

U should do a updated gun collection vid mate

Ropes good idea looking for new places good idea to 🤙

I think you need to invest in a skidpig hovercraft. Or convert a canoe into one for those smaller gutters. Could be a winner.

Reckon you're on the right path

Great work mr skidpig to bad you had to go to work. That rope be good for my redclaw traps skidpig ,peww peww

Reckon your on a winner there mate Makes sense to me too seen to many sitting under and on pots in my time for it not to work well

I recon you are on to it skid

Sounds like it'll work. You should make mud colored plates with your logo on them.

Do you ever see any Crocs? And have you guys ever heard of OFF? It works wonders!😂

Anything to stop the tea leaves has to be good

You can get leaded rope in 10m lots from Crab N Gear
