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

[@SkidPig]

It was pretty crazy

[@saltymcnuts3586]

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

[@SkidPig]

That was bs bad!!!!

[@moverling5]

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. 😎👍🤙. 🐊

Beautiful drive thru analogy ba😁

[@chrishavo6959]

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

[@downunderfulla6001]

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 🍺🍺

[@chats5957]

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.

[@SkidPig]

That's awesome mate l, thanks for sharing 🍻

[@Gordon_L]

I did not know that one chats , thanks . I've been using Qld Globe for a few years but I find it slow to load , whereas google maps and Google Earth is quite fast . 4g internet .

[@Gordon_L]

@@chats5957 That works , thank you .

[@gazman335]

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

[@TheTopend2]

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.

[@kathybonato8869]

I did do that but found that they don't give a s--- and just run a knife through the mesh. I gave up and would rather lose a crab than the cost of a new pot. I just spent probably $70 on a cam camera and after you catch the first and let it be known there are cameras around it's pretty good.

[@markferguson4255]

Beautiful spots. Plate idea definitely a poer.

[@EndlessWeekendlife]

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

[@Shooter11B]

Definitely worth doing.

[@limeybonesjones7395]

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

[@mini_steve]

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

[@SkidPig]

And perfect size 🤣

[@mini_steve]

@@SkidPig What's the perfect size? The neighbours kids or the Frisbee? Could always combine the 2 and see the results. You know, in the name of science.

[@ryandorrell8162]

Great to see you back bro

[@SkidPig]

Cheers mate 🍻

[@markblanch665]

Both ideas look good Skiddy.

[@SkidPig]

🤙

[@FlipandTheBlueMule]

Looks like a great spot... with more time

[@terrywarcon2602]

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

[@SkidPig]

[@trentfox6436]

Plates look like a brilliant idea

[@peterdaalman462]

Great idea skid great spot

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

I will mate for sure

[@SkidPig]

Haha yeah I saw ya 🤙

[@owii1719]

U should do a updated gun collection vid mate

[@Jimmyjames738]

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

[@SkidPig]

I had a crazy idea about something like that, I just don't have the money to make it happen at the moment

[@rodneyklein5139]

@@SkidPig grew up with mangroves out the front and would go crabbing with mates all the time. Everytime you don't have a castnet...fish appear you've never seen before. Then when you have a cast net...you end up throwing pot shots...just throw and hope for the best 🤣🤣
