YABBY CATCH And COOK | 5 Yabby Baits

[@peterprivate9292]

How good! 🙌🤩 outdoors, fresh yabbies 👌

[@cartridgegamegeeks]

Canned cat food in a stocking works so good. Trick I leaned as a kids. I'm an Aussie, I remember times as a kid we would go as a family catch and gather yabbies from an out of town dam. 15 family members pulling sting baits and putting our catch in wet heshen sacks. We would then go back home and put the yabbies in a kiddie pool, while the adults drank and we would pull the dead ones and put aside for friends pet fish "Oscar's and angel fish". After a couple of hours they would start the boiler. Time for us kids to catch them all again for dinner time. Good old memories and I'm only 35 lol. Freshwater lobster lol, so good dipping Tails in garlic butter...

[@chrissprigg1043]

Nothing beats a day out bush chasing yabbies 👍good fun with the kids aswell. Nice one fellas

[@BushRats]

Can’t beat it mate! 🍻 cheers for watching 🤟🏾

[@marcmc2873]

Great memories catching them on a baited string

[@BushRats]

yeah we are gonna try the old bait on a string trick next time we are out that way mate 😊 cheers

[@pendopendo7166]

I saw the comment about using a bale of hay in the dam, that will work somewhat, but fisheries farming teaches using a bale of “Lucerne”. This provides food, the hay as it breaks down depletes oxygen from the water, Lucerne does not. For structure for them to hide in, use a lot of short 7 to 10inch sections of different diameter scrap pvc plumbing pipe glued or bundled together like a pyramid, and loose pieces. The smaller yabbies hide from bigger ones in these for growth in numbers and as food resources reduce. Feed them Lucerne as the water level drops, and seed the banks with grass seed so when the water comes back the young ones eat the grass around the edges because they are actually more herbivore but will take any protein. If a dam has a defined cut edge at the water line to grasses growing on the dam wall, you know it holds a good number of yabbies. Grasses into the water are either recent increased storage or no yabbies. 👍

[@seansmith1756]

I always enjoy learning new ways of cooking. Where I'm from, would have purged in saltwater then added garlic ,lemon, onion, and cayenne. If you pinch the middle flipper of the tail you can pull out the poop shoot all in one split. 🤙

[@BushRats]

sounds like a good way to do it mate will have to give this a go 😊

[@carolinelloyd1858]

You purge in saltwater? I've only ever used fresh water as I would've thought salt water would've killed yabbies 🤷 I'll try salt water next time 🤙

[@matteo_syd7271]

​​@@carolinelloyd1858urging in fresh would do nothing. If you put salt in the water it purges them and also removes the parasites. They don't like the salt water but it won't kill them overnight.

[@scottsevers6194]

Or some sweet chilli sauce. I always have a little bottle of smoky Chipotle Tabasco in my kit bag. 😋

[@glenbaker4024]

Well done guys. That first dam was off the charts. It’s hard to find a good yabbie dam in Victoria. I’m surprised you didn’t catch any marron. Marron are listed as an invasive pest in Victoria but there are only a couple of dams on the Mornington peninsula that actually have any which I didn’t find out about until a few days after I was there. I’ll definitely give the bacon and snags a try, I usually use goodos dog food in the pissy bait catcher nets we’re allowed to use.

[@BushRats]

Thanks is mate! Yeah Marron are everywhere else except these small inland dams! Think the water isn’t clean enough for the old Marron! Bloody good eating tho! 🤤🤟🏾

As a kid we had a little creek not for from our house and I just used a bit of lamb meat on some string to catch the yabbys and in a couple of hours we had a bucket full but here in vic if you go and ask a farmer if you can use his dam all that will happen is he sets the dog on you or calls the cops
