My BIGGEST Haul of Yabbies | EMPTY Dam Full of Yabbies

Young Lee heads out of a solo yabby session to some old faithful dams, to try catch a feed of yabbies before the cooler weather sets in! On arrival, he notices the dams are the lowest he's ever see! Hopefully there is still some yabbies left in them!

OK, so here's a tip from pro breeder and seller in Gippsland, Vic. He has a coolroom set at around 4 degrees, FYI the temp of melted ice in cooler. Yabbies go into trays about a metre square, 120mm high, stacked on top of each other, water is sprayed from micro nozzles like for pot plants. They're kept in there for at least 8 or more hours. What happens is they think it's time to hibernate for winter, and purge themselves completely, also flesh gets a bit firmer as well. The difference in eating is a revelation, from that slightly muddy taste to almost prawn quality, heaps sweeter. You can do the same with an older fridge, set at 4 degrees, keep them damp somehow, but never under water. The downside to this method is the smell of the purged gunk, will stink out the cooler of fridge. Well worth a try.

When we were kids we found a mama crayfish in the farm pond that was 6 inches long and had eggs all over her tail. Grandad sent us right back to the pond with the bucket and told us to VERY carefully PUT HER BACK. Then he gave us the entire story of that GIANT. We had never seen a crab that big before that day

[@keefmeister77]

In south Louisiana we call these "crawfish". This looks easier than when I did it which involved being knee-deep in mud and fighting off alligators, snapping turtles and water moccasins and the occasional alligator gar. The easiest way to get them is to wait for rising water, then you can just park on the side of the interstate and pick them up as they're trying to cross and get to higher ground, which we don't have.

[@iscovidoveryet7828]

How's that? people not letting them live long enough to grow big? Now you've got me curious to know more about their life cycles.. Like... How old can they get, reproduce, average number of offspring...? As a French Acadian, I'm something of an oddball because I could never get my nose close enough to eat their larger cousins, Lobster. too fishy smelling..

[@seanstaniforth1566]

@@iscovidoveryet7828 It's been a very long time since I've even heard of a yabby as big as a beer bottle. I think the dams are poached out too much. I can still remember taking the big yabbies into the pub & putting them to sleep (no, not kill them) on the bar. Do you know how to do that? Lobster or Crayfish as I call them is rather nice, but nothing beats a good feed of yabbies as garlic yabbies, beer battered yabbies or an all time favourite, just soaked in brown vinegar & black pepper for 24 - 48 hours

I had to have him repeat himself every time we spoke. This was before email and I was receiving vehicle VIN's over the phone. What fun. Great video but I'm a bit out of luck in getting any kangaroo here in Arizona. Cheers mate.

[@robbiefishing]

Mate this was sensational. Thanks for the shout out. I would 100% eat the yabbies from that dam. Straight from the water to the pot. LOL 🤣 But that's just me. I love the Pram Dam. I have the pump hole, the fridge hole, pump creek, lucky dip creek and many more. Hahaha

[@valkyrie1066]

Yabbies, crawfish! Yes, they can be delicious! Put the tiny ones in a bigger waterway, those evaporated puddles might not last. Actually, the larger one you show is a little bigger than any I'd ever seen. That's in the USA. I'd love to watch you cook and eat them, but if I remember, it's better to place them in fresh water for a few days. Bathtub or kiddie pool. Back in the 70's when I was a kid we lived in Cuba (GTMO) for years, and speared Langusta....a clawless lobster. We pulled in a basin of them in a few hours, and they were larger than some of the lobsters I see in restaurants today. It wasn't a "fishing area" so they had probably been able to thrive unmolested for quite some time. Nothing tastes better than food you caught/grew yourself.

[@Trindal]

Crawdads, crayfish, Yabbies… the US needs to start calling them Yabbies . I like it.

[@danieledwards1081]

When I was a kid we always used sheep shanks as yabby bait, tie one on a piece of baling twine, chuck it out and let it sit for a couple of minutes then slowly pull it in towards the edge of the dam, once in nice and close follow it in with the dab net and scoop them up

[@cliffcampbell8827]

Here in the states, we call those things: crayfish, crawfish, crawdads or mudbugs (crawdads and mudbugs are more of a southern states vernacular). Impressive haul for only 20 minutes soaking your trap. As for "eating" the ones caught in the green water, I'd put them (alive) in a holding tank filled with clean water and places for them to hide for about a week. It should be a slow introduction into the clean water (I suggest carting them out of there in the water they were found and slowly filtering the water until it's clean). Make sure to keep the water well oxygenated and then fed so they don't die during the week long cleansing.

If you're in the know, there is a series of dams that used to service the old Canning stock route that always had yabbies.

Also road work dams and old rail dams. I know the dam just out of Leonora got productive when the water got low.. Talking 25 years ago but I can't see them dying out ever.

I was in a low security jail and the Mighty Murray ran near it. Because I was near the end of my sentence me and a couple mates could go down the river fishing on weekends. We'd take soap and catch those little shrimp/prawn type things and use them for bait and we'd also get yabs. btw the Murray at the moment is pumping with yabs after all the rain came through from up river. You should see the carp washed out into the sea, the beaches were covered with millions of the stinking things, I've never seen so many. Also there was only one native fish among the 1000's I saw, so maybe the native fish deal with floods better than carp, i hope thats why
