[@returnoutdoors2210]

Fishing is always that little bit more difficult when the wind kicks in. Glad you enjoyed the video!👍

[@kevinbryant5541]

Great few hours down the creek, 6 legal crabs from 3 pots, and return the fourth pot contents back to the water legal and all. What more could you ask for.!!! Good work, and keep up the awesome videos.!!!👌👍🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

[@zacplithakis5854]

Another awesome vid Brad. Geez wherever you are is plentiful with crab and fish!! I don't think I've seen another boat on your adventures. Look forward to your next one.

[@returnoutdoors2210]

The environment is definitely healthy in this area with good numbers of fish and crabs. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks heaps for taking the time to comment!👍

[@jarrod1991]

I know we don't get them here but it looks like a red rambo! What a beauty nice work mate 😊

[@returnoutdoors2210]

Definitely something a bit different about that crab. Thanks heaps for your comment it greatly appreciated! 👍

[@brettstevens6299]

They are really good mud crabs I do a lot of mudcrabbing with my friend catch a lot on the weekends

Great to hear you catch plenty of crabs. Thanks for taking the the time to comment it is greatly appreciated. Cheers!👍

[@shahrirresad4576]

Wonderful crabbing session..good job mate

[@returnoutdoors2210]

It was definitely a very productive few hours crabbing. Thanks for your comment!👍

[@bungiebenno536]

Oath! Hope you saved some ice for the beers mate! 👍

[@returnoutdoors2210]

There’s always plenty of ice for a cold beer. Cheers!👍

[@tomm5228]

Great video, those crab nets look far better but heavy when full

[@returnoutdoors2210]

They are a good crab pot with an excellent catch rate. Definitely plenty of weight in them when full of crabs. Thanks for taking the time to comment!👍

[@darenlynn6923]

Love your work mate. Great videos. Keep them coming.

[@returnoutdoors2210]

I greatly appreciate your support. Glad you enjoy the videos!👍

[@jasonhancock5881]

It's definately been a great year for crabbing with consistent catches of quality muddies. That last pot looked to have a few legals in it too that you let go for next time. Another great video mate. 🦀🦀🦀

[@returnoutdoors2210]

It is always nice to catch a feed of crabs and equally rewarding to let a few go. Thanks for your comment!👍

[@danielgrills1160]

Where you live the crab s are incredible good stuff mate only take what ya need

[@returnoutdoors2210]

There has definitely been some great crabbing in this area recently. Thanks heaps for your support!👍

[@lumberjaxe8910]

That sure got me hungry 4 some🦀

[@returnoutdoors2210]

Glad you enjoyed watching!👍

[@warwickmilne3149]

does your back hurt having to stand and drive the boat like that? mine does just look at you. p.s great video

[@returnoutdoors2210]

Not the most comfortable position but have spent the majority of my life operating small boats in this manner. I may have gone past the point of pain! Thanks for taking the time to comment!👍

[@appclickable]

Great video! The muddies seem to be in plentiful supply. Maybe that is because people like you are following the rules and releasing females and undersize crabs, only taking enough for a feed. Proof sustainability works, you can always get a few crabs and be sure there will be still a few around the next time you go out. Look forward to seeing what you get up to in your next adventure.

[@returnoutdoors2210]

Hopefully through proper management we can continue to enjoy the outdoors and be able to catch a feed to take home. It is a tradition that has been enjoyed for many generations and hopefully will be sustainable for many more. Thanks for your comment!👍

[@danielgrills1160]

You only need 2 pots bloke ha ha

[@rigger314]

There is an orange mud crab thats is found in mangrove areas in northern Australia and south east asia, so I'd say that might be one.

[@returnoutdoors2210]

The crab definitely had a few different characteristics to the mud crabs I usually catch in this area. Thanks for your feedback!👍

[@arnolddehond9484]

Been planning this many years ago. Never had a chance

[@returnoutdoors2210]

I hope you get the chance in the near future. Thanks for your comment! Cheers, Brad.

[@zacplithakis5854]

I have caught a few of the orange colored crab too. They seem to have smaller sharper claws ( like jennys) than our traditional muddies..I've been told by a pro that they are invaders from PNG.🤔

[@returnoutdoors2210]

The crab definitely had different characteristics like you mentioned with the claws. Thanks heaps for taking the time to comment!👍

[@allisondickey3909]

If they are "invaders", are they legal to take on top of the maximum? Or do you have to dump them, not return them into the waterways?

[@fishingwithcorrea8866]

10:25 orange mud crab

[@returnoutdoors2210]

Thanks, I appreciate your feedback. Cheers!👍

[@BigBenno26]

Love the channel mate! If you ever need a first mate I’d be keen to learn some tips hehe I’m in Airlie beach 👍

[@returnoutdoors2210]

I greatly appreciate your support. Thanks heaps for taking the time to comment! Cheers!👍

[@johnwain2116]

So jealous, wish I was eating them. Now to the question, I was wondering why you toss back the cod. Cheers and keep the crabs coming.

[@returnoutdoors2210]

I released the cod simply because they were surplus to my needs. I do keep cod at times and in my opinion they are of good eating quality. Thanks for your comment it is greatly appreciated. Cheers!

[@johnwain2116]

Thanks for replying. Yes, I would have thought they would be good eating. Still, putting them back for another day is admirable. Watching your crabbing videos takes me back to my younger years but I was never as fortunate as you. Cheers, J.

[@williamtukeyjr3661]

Beautiful catch. What kind of bait do you use in your pots?

[@returnoutdoors2210]

I use chicken pieces or fish frames for bait and find they both get good results. Thanks for your question and taking the time to comment!👍

[@noobalicious7893]

Mate. When you bag out, you start checking shells and keep the full ones.

[@returnoutdoors2210]

I don’t crab to bag out l only take what I need. The overall quality of the crabs was good on this occasion. Cheers!👍

[@SotheaFishing]

Good

[@returnoutdoors2210]

Cheers👍

[@MrTolgarion]

Do you have to leave them in some clean water before cooking them to get the mud out of them like it is done with crayfish from muddy waters? Or is the water brown-looking because of the mangroves? Oh and definitely thanks for posting these they are so relaxing to watch.

[@liamwindsor5854]

No need to soak them, beautiful straight out the water

[@returnoutdoors2210]

The meat inside the shell is very clean. As you suggest the dark colouration of the crab helps them to camouflage in their natural environment. Glad you enjoyed watching!👍

[@dimanmnss1547]

Yg terakhir itu kepiting merah ukuran jantan terbesarnya hanya seberat 5 ons atau setengah kilo, di tempatku ada banyak sekali habitat aslinya biasa di dalam hutan bakau dan di lumpur dengan air yg tdk begitu dalam biasanya jarang muncul kalau di sungai yg airnya dalam, memang juga mereka hidup berdampingan, kepiting merah itu suka berjalan jalan di lumpur dia lebih tahan dengan lumpur yg kering atau fisik kepiting itu lebih kuat.

[@returnoutdoors2210]

Thanks for the information and taking the time to comment it is greatly appreciated. Cheers!👍

[@dimanmnss1547]

@@returnoutdoors2210 saya ingin sekali membuat video petualangan seperti anda mencari kepiting, menangkap ikan berpetualang di gunung di pantai karna di kampung saya lengkap alamnya dan saya juga seorang petualang, cuman sekarang saya berada di perantauan bekerja di penyapuan jalan semenjak 2019 saya disini dengan pekerjaan tetap ini, saya akan balik kampung di tahun 2025 semoga saya bisa buat video youtube juga,👍

[@ballistic350]

I wanna eat one. Heard they're good asf better than Dungeness, what's the regulations there per person?

[@returnoutdoors2210]

The mud crab is definitely good eating. The regulations on taking crabs vary depending on where you fish within Australia. In Queensland we can only take male crabs that are a minimum of 15cm across the shell. Thanks for taking the time to comment!👍

[@kerryscott2552]

were do you live kerry from innisfsil i get one crab in 2 years

[@emilianogabriel9613]

In the Philippines there’s no release policy they gonna catch small or big

[@returnoutdoors2210]

I was not aware of this! Thanks for sharing. 👍

Are you based in Townsville it looks great would love to try fishing there

Tera long time in catching in the craft then broke Compaq India cancel your fishing and craft

[@returnoutdoors2210]

Thanks for your comment!👍

[@colinmcalister8704]

The heading said Giant mud crabs. No giants in your catch just normal size. Click bait

[@returnoutdoors2210]

Basic research on your behalf would show Giant mud crab is a common name for Scylla serrata - a species of mud crab. This is NOT click bait.
