How Many MUD CRABS Can We Catch In 4 Hours

[@Hogbellylife]

Great video! If you do the fresh vs bought bait try putting 2 pots next to each other. That way we can see what bait the crabs go to.

[@rivertooceanadventurertoa3347]

Bloody love the intro mate best on Aussie KZbin I reckon

[@rp3874]

No grey area with limits, it is "in possession". Eating one deducts your possession. if you took your bag limit home today and you had one from yesterday in your fridge at home you would be over your possession limit.

Hay brada. Love your crapping . I m watchingvit now. . Only thing i wanna surguest id getting some wrap around sunnys. Carves have good ones that cut the sun out from the sides. Its a must. Protect the eyes fro the side. Thats were the damage is

Great haul there with a few flattys aswell. Love the longer vids🤙

Well done Skid good to see responsible fishing mate keep it up. Coming home to Tville later in the year might see you out for a beer

[@johndewaard8032]

Bloody nice haul mate. Yummo

[@gradyweeden4292]

The ethical thing to do as an outdoorsman would be to count the one you lunched on into your bag for the day. Honesty is what keeps the wild wild. Over limits and dishonesty can and will destroy a good fishery. Bottoms up brothas great video.

[@SkidPig]

Exactly, we never take the bag limit anyway

[@michaelbrown6241]

It's in possession, so 14 in the boat at any one time with 2 people or 14 at home if there are 2 people or 7 if just one person. But let's face it there will never be 14 at home😁 Just goes to show that Queensland rules as they are work, if your pulling that many small crabs and a feed you just need to know when and where and keep the farmers away.👍🤙Cheers mate 🍻

[@dannyspring9148]

Great work mate on the videos. Been along time since we hang out in the Pro Ute days

[@SkidPig]

Hell yeah mate, was good times

Love creek fishing. Always have a laugh. Funny as shit Knighty getting cleaned up in the mangrove tree.

[@fleetwood56]

Great video guys. Where were you crabbing? Don't want to know the exact location but near which town.

[@SkidPig]

Near Townsville

[@briandantana8470]

Hey mate I'm in nsw and the rules down here are once the fish has been utilised (whether that be eaten or given away etc) it's no longer in your possession, and you can top up your bag limit in the same day. Not sure if it's different up north but I'd imagine it'd be the same

[@SkidPig]

Thanks for the info mate

[@gazman335]

Great haul mate 👍🍻

[@RADMAN-bt5ve]

Great effort mate couldn't believe the numbers in each pot and perfect size flatties for eating 🤙👍

Absolutely

[@adriantolson3791]

A good four hrs 8 pots 3 people 40 in a fridge with a tray of mangoes is a good memory to have. Threw back 15 keepers as we bagged out like your videos as i am a keen mad crabber myself

Sorry typo 30 in a fridge. Also that day water was luke warm and checked hourly

Pickled crab meat tastes pretty good with a few coldies and keeps well in the fridge for quite a while, bloody nice haul fella!

Direct from the website - "A possession limit is the total number of fish that one person can legally take and keep at any one time - it is not a daily limit."

We also can't keep fish caught in traps in nsw

[@Fishin2444_]

Sick vid skid, I have a video idea where you buy all different types of pots put the same bait in them and see what one catches the most crabs.

Hay brother bit of info for u up here in the Northern Territory we’re aloud to keep 30 crabs per boat.

Holy sh1t!!!!! That's a lot of crabs

Try pigs head. As a kid I'd bury the halved heads 30cm under soft sand and cuer them for a week before using. They hardened and stayed actively catching longer. David Marine MS Coral Adventure

[@SkidPig]

All the pros ive spoken too said to avoid pig as it ruins the flavour of the crab meat ?

[@kristineharrower7813]

You can only catch 14, regardless if you eat 1 out there. Well done on the honesty guys

The lobster industry is Big where I live in New England. The fisherman don't f*** around. If they catch you scuba diving near their traps you're in for a world of hurt. Some of them even rig small explosives to the door of the traps.

Bag limit is the limit of the fish allowed to be caught on the day. Nothing to do with what you can take home.

[@headswillroll89]

You are meant to keep the top shell if you eat any. It's a bag limit for a day including ones you eat, fisheries round here will spot you cooking with nocies and come sheck you later

I thought that might be the case

Dude, you know you could have edited or destroyed the footage and both swear each other to secrecy or sign nondisclosure agreements right? Besides you as re allowed a sample to know if the crabs are good or not. It's not what you eat, it's what you take home in the cooler.

[@SkidPig]

🤣🤙

[@MrEagleeye58]

Try to move to an area plenty of 2 inch clams.. The muddies you showing are big but majority was newly moulted and hjas little meat. You can see that their claws have large molars = look for flat molars... the body lines on the body has to have pronounced deep channels.. and the height of the back of the crab must be pronounced too.. the rate of good quality crab seems poor in that area as its probably a popular area so you have to keep what you got.... That one claw crab you threw back had a lot of meat based on what I can see.. Best you go to another area but it could also be dangerous as plenty of salt water crocs in less frequent areas.

[@gtfishingschoolcharters2330]

I wasn't going to respond to this, however. Not sure what you are leading to here? For a 4 hour soak, we were pretty happy with the results we got. Oh and for empty crabs, totally wrong. All full. As for moving to another spot? Why would I if I am getting results? Either way, your comments were to say the least interesting. Your comment "the rate of good quality crab seems poor in that area as its probably a popular area so you have to keep what you got" We released crabs, we kept 10. No need to be greedy, as the 10 crabs we did take were FULL.
