YABBY CATCH And COOK | 5 Yabby Baits 

Canned cat food in a stocking works so good. Trick I leaned as a kids. I'm an Aussie, I remember times as a kid we would go as a family catch and gather yabbies from an out of town dam. 15 family members pulling sting baits and putting our catch in wet heshen sacks. We would then go back home and put the yabbies in a kiddie pool, while the adults drank and we would pull the dead ones and put aside for friends pet fish "Oscar's and angel fish". After a couple of hours they would start the boiler. Time for us kids to catch them all again for dinner time. Good old memories and I'm only 35 lol. Freshwater lobster lol, so good dipping Tails in garlic butter...

How good! 🙌🤩 outdoors, fresh yabbies 👌

Nothing beats a day out bush chasing yabbies 👍good fun with the kids aswell. Nice one fellas

I saw the comment about using a bale of hay in the dam, that will work somewhat, but fisheries farming teaches using a bale of “Lucerne”. This provides food, the hay as it breaks down depletes oxygen from the water, Lucerne does not. For structure for them to hide in, use a lot of short 7 to 10inch sections of different diameter scrap pvc plumbing pipe glued or bundled together like a pyramid, and loose pieces. The smaller yabbies hide from bigger ones in these for growth in numbers and as food resources reduce. Feed them Lucerne as the water level drops, and seed the banks with grass seed so when the water comes back the young ones eat the grass around the edges because they are actually more herbivore but will take any protein. If a dam has a defined cut edge at the water line to grasses growing on the dam wall, you know it holds a good number of yabbies. Grasses into the water are either recent increased storage or no yabbies. 👍

Great memories catching them on a baited string

You're steeping up to that beer !!

Thanks blokes

Yabbies, beer, and OG Kush 👍🏻🇦🇺

Thanks for taking us along it was lovely

Good one boys. No better feed.

They were all bait yabbies, great cod bait.

get in, cant wait to catch a load of yabby again

Ahhhhh, man! YABBIES! They call them YABBIES! Haven't had a laugh like that for years. )

Yabby on Pizza was always a favourite of mine

The cooking and filming I'ds on another level mate lovin it

I always enjoy learning new ways of cooking. Where I'm from, would have purged in saltwater then added garlic ,lemon, onion, and cayenne. If you pinch the middle flipper of the tail you can pull out the poop shoot all in one split. 🤙

Cant go wrong with a yabby sandwich! good stuff legends 👍🏻

Nice one lads, will definitely be doing this for a surf and turf and pasta!

Well done love ya work

Quick tip for you blokes, before cooking pull the head of and twist the middle fin on the tail a full 180 and gently pull the poo shute out, may take some practice to master

Dams with lots of yabby activity always have super muddy murky water and they like clay bottom dams the most.

Well done blokes also love the sound track

Gotta do a paddock and dam cook up. It's like reef an beef but with marron and roo

Absolute awesome 👍💪💯

Mean channel brotherz N.z

Great vid lads

Kangaroo and carp, best bait 👌🏼

Love ya work my boys 💪🤠

Crawfish 😂

I live in the United States the state of Washington I just saw your video on the yabbies I love the video and I'm just now going to subscribe

Love the channel guys! Keep it up you will be at 100k in no time!

Killing it 🤘🙌

Try em in a wok over the fire with ginger paste and sweet chilli sauce. A bit of rice won't hurt either

Fire vid boys them coming

Yeah boi , how’s the nippy dawgs smashing the bbq meats 🔥 so keen on yab Sanga’s 🤟

Cool video, I've used just about every type of bait over the years and roadkill worked real good too👍

On the hard stuff coke lol 😂

just a hint,,,,put a small branch with leaves on when ya got a few in bucket/esky/container of some type,,,,stops ' em attacking each other,,,,especially when dealing with biggin's such as redclaw... keep on living....................

Hi there young Lee its Shane from Toowoomba Queensland have you ever tried Bullock heart l have caught lots of yabbies using heart ok mate thanks

Rock melon .. Even try a bail of loosen and sink overnight they will bury themselves in the bail of loosen

You know there's also meat in claws? If you get a really nice big male, the chunk of meat from the claw is almost as big as the piece of meat from the tail.

Master baiters

An old timing man once told me that if you place bails of hay in a dam , it helps the Yabby population by providing food shelter and deters algae from blooming = healthier water .I have never tried this ,have you heard any thing like this?

so happy to watch love to be there tho

Where is the sunlight soap that hands down is the best bait.

Get a bit of vinegar, peel rinse in fresh water dunk in the vinegar and down the hatch absolutely banging. Those silty dams generally don’t produce the nicest tasting yabbies anyway so probably didn’t miss out too much. Great work gents

Great vid yeeew

Ox liver works well mate. 👍

New to Australia and just stumbled across this channel. Instant sub from me, great video!

Awsome lads love it. Gotta see if I can find a lad or lass with a dam. Carton of cold beer for a couple nets to catch some yabbies. Any properties wanting to do a swap would be great. Cold beer for a dozen yabbies beauty???

Niceeeeee🤙🤙🤙

I like lambs liver or chicken necks for bait works really really well I’ve tried everything and them two meats give me best results

😋 Guten Appetit. Gruß aus Germany Peter.

No doubt there's a northern in that Esky 😂

😋💯👍🏻✌🏻

wrap the tail in bacon put a tooth pick through it to hold it together put it under the griller cook and soy sauce cant beat it 😋😋😋

Went to find a good yabbie dam but got side tracked and bummed the Mrs instead

Dams??? They are called very small ponds!! Looks like you guys need a Brit 😝

I'm drawling lol

As a kid we had a little creek not for from our house and I just used a bit of lamb meat on some string to catch the yabbys and in a couple of hours we had a bucket full but here in vic if you go and ask a farmer if you can use his dam all that will happen is he sets the dog on you or calls the cops

Use rock melon they love it

Is this in Australia?

How is there so much life in that tiny pond?

Dude I was gonna say you should edit those nets out lol

Hey legends, love the channel big fan of the yabbie content. Was just wondering what brand that yellow work shirt was, am in desperate need of new work shirts and that look perfect. Cheers legends keep up the good work

Hi mate u should watch blue Gabe crayfishing Jamaica it's kind of at The end of the video when they stay cooking the dude who takes them there has the best way of dispatching them so u can cook the whole thing n a incredible recepie check it out mate missing out on a lot of yummy meat

Quality shit.

2:20 nice butt crack scene haha. You must be a plumber or a carpenter IRL for work :)

It's been some time since I said the word "Billabong"

Gronk

Ps caught a few near mudgee where were u this time..🤔🥺

Poor form using opera house nets otherwise a great vid

best bait is cat food with oil and pure velvet soap and net atnight

my grand father always used dog food for bait

Where can I get those trap

Well done guys. That first dam was off the charts. It’s hard to find a good yabbie dam in Victoria. I’m surprised you didn’t catch any marron. Marron are listed as an invasive pest in Victoria but there are only a couple of dams on the Mornington peninsula that actually have any which I didn’t find out about until a few days after I was there. I’ll definitely give the bacon and snags a try, I usually use goodos dog food in the pissy bait catcher nets we’re allowed to use.

Is there meat in the claw?

Never Seen a BUSH RAT...🤔🥺

At the pram dam they must had been using the other other white meat

Oath

Good video but where the fuck is Tony mate???!!!

interesting vid, but.. aren't opera house nets now illegal , private or crown land?

Just wondering do you feed the ponds to grow your yields?

No Marron out there? Like Redclaw better boil without salt then stop them cooking in cold/iced salted water - will suck in the salt and taste great!

First

Guy no word of a lie was at St George little kid showed me rock melon worked better then lamb goat and much other

It's illegal to use traps in dams in the bush. No way that's private property

I think it is bit worrying, a buggy for a child to go far out to a pond, why leave the buggy when you leave??? Drain that pond..🤔

Yabbies are native....

Dude with construction shirt and teardrop tat on face, gonna leave and do a hit on someone after this feed or score some Meth....

no need for the Music very distracting while you are talking

z

When are you boys coming back ?

Great video!! When will we be able to order merch to support you!!

Well done guys yes it’s just a different way of life out and about I’m a caretaker on large properties west of longreach and call it god’s country and there’s nothing better than a feed of yabbies we’ve got a couple of dry dams but have some big ones as well, just had to subscribe why I haven’t come across your channel before but cheers 👍🍻🇦🇺

That looked like so much fun fellas!

Those nets are good at catching Indian minor birds. And bonus ducks you can then use them as bait.

Roo tails cut up are my go to bait fellas.
