MONSTER MUD CRABS TIE CAMP CATCH COOK NT

[@dougpatterson2157]

Hey Carny. This was up there with your most entertaining and relevant (to me) videos. Those crab tying skills are up there now. I'm looking forward to doing it again. Surgery saw me miss out for most of this year but will be back up to NT before you know it. A question ... do you feel particularly vulnerable when anchoring up and sleeping on the boat? I have done it on southern rivers in NSW but not been game do it in far Northern waters. Any tips re where to anchor up to remain safe? Thanks Andy - keep up the great work. Looking forward to trying your Porosus lures out. Cheers.

[@andytotalcarnage8763]

Hey Doug great to hear from you and awesome feedback. Yes when sleeping in the boat u don’t want to anchor in a back eddie or where it gets to shallow or to much current. You want to be in a bit deeper water but you want some current. The current means the crocks can only swim up behind 🤞. I find camping in the boat brings so many more opportunities & it costs nothing. Thanks mate & tight lines with the POROSUS lures & appreciate your support..🦀🦀👍🎣

[@andytotalcarnage8763]

Thank you Colin yes tough life mate someone has to do it haha cheers mate def feeling blessed..👏👏👍🦀🎣

[@robtoneguzzo7761]

Great video Andy, bloody good idea beating the wind. I got belted this week. That fishing shirt you gave me is my favourite so cool and comfortable. Good to see those big crabs and glad that knife is still going. Might get a bit rusty but you won’t ever break it breaking down crabs 🦀, chopping wood 🪵 or spearing buffalo 🐃 haha. Bed looks good, love that umbrella ☂️. Look forward to the next one 🎣

[@andytotalcarnage8763]

Hey Rob yes mate need to rub the knife with steel wool and apply some oil and yes blooming wind stuffs it mores ways then one thanks mate & tight lines..🦀🦀🦀👌🎣👍👍

[@robtoneguzzo7761]

@@andytotalcarnage8763 Just surface rust, oil and steel wool perfect. With time it will go dark and develop a patina and be more rust resistant. Drawback of carbon steel but it will be tougher and hold a better edge than stainless .

[@garrybutler9030]

Great episode Andy. Used up all your luck with the pots on the first day

[@andytotalcarnage8763]

Yeah Gary crabbing pretty tough at the moment even the pro’s struggling thanks mate..🦀🦀👍

[@chrisdoran7596]

G'day Andy, Relax while waiting for the tide to change. Great to have all that feedom now. You have to be stoked with those muddies and all tied up ready for processing. I use an old butchers steel to crack mine open. The stretcher sure beats being on the boat floor. I reckon they are worth their weight in gold when camping. The Major BB🎩🦀🦀🦀🦀🔪👌🤙👍✅️✅️

[@andytotalcarnage8763]

Yes Sir Mr Major there’s no rush just waiting for the crabs to go in & the camp stretcher quick fold is a game changer thank you..👏👏👍🦀🦀

[@allenlording612]

Camped on that creek many times about 40 years ago. Biggest croc I ever saw lived there on the gravel bank a bit up stream. Wouldn’t think that he was still around , but you never know . 😮

[@andytotalcarnage8763]

G’day Allen awesome yeah I never saw him but hey you never know thanks mate..🦀🦀🐊🐊👍

[@garyglashoff3072]

Haha Phil 100% mate don’t hang anything over the gunnel haha cheers mate..🤣🦀🦀👍

[@Briansimpson-zh7dj]

Some good solid bucks there buddy 👍 Living in FNQ I know sleeping near or on the water has it’s risks as far as crocs are concerned! How often have you them hang around? Maybe some some footage? I have done my fair share of crabbing over the years and the other day heard that cauliflower works a treat! Find it a bit hard to believe! What different types of baits have u tried ? Anyway top stuff as always mate . Cheers from Bart at Cow Bay 👍

[@andytotalcarnage8763]

[@johnsykes706]

Looking semi-pro on those crabs now mate. I'm going to ruin your life though, check out the Oztrail stretcher tent, stretcher plus built in bug mesh. Top it off with a zempire bomber pad sleeping mat and you'll sleep like a teenager. Unlike babies teenagers are impossible to wake up.

[@andytotalcarnage8763]

Awesome John yes mate will check it out🤩🤩 haha yeah teenagers love the bed def changes when you get older lol thanks mate..🦀🦀👍

[@AaronSmith-i2w]
