MUD CRAB Catch and Cook | CRABBING SHALLOW WATER

- I set crab pots / traps in shallow water along the fringing mangroves of a tropical island in Northern Australia. The wet season will soon be here, bringing much needed rain and the giant mud crab will become much more active. #returnoutdoors #mudcrab #crabbing
Good to see you recovered from your fall last video. This certainly is not the usual estuary crabbing we have grown accustom to. Nice change of scenery, the Island looks great in the background, and even some lure action not that it paid off. The fact that you managed to get any crabs at all is amazing, there is a lot of water for them to hide in out there. At least in the creek there is not as much water to cover with your pots. Two keepers is all you need for a feed, it did look a little bumpy heading home in you little tinny! Stay safe.
It was definitely a nice spot to set the crab pots for a few hours. The ride home was a little wet but all part of the adventure. I am looking forward to setting the pots in the river again this week. Hopefully better numbers of quality muddies will find their way into the pots. I greatly appreciate your feedback and ongoing support and support. Cheers!👍
That's what I like no mucking about getting straight into it , two thumbs up.
Thanks heaps I greatly appreciate your feedback. Glad you enjoyed the video!👍
As usual, I love all the Maggie island videos. Great stuff mate 👍
It was a great spot to spend a few hours crabbing. Glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers!👍
Before you go home after crabbing, you better count your toes!!
I will make sure I do a quick count and hope I come up with the right number.😃 Thanks for your comment!👍
How many inch you take a crab?
Where I am located I can only take male mud crabs a minimum of 6 inches (15cm) across the widest point of the shell. Thanks for your question!👍
Gday mate ,well maybe not the best catches but at least you got a feed of muddie better than nothing ,we are coming into blue crab season now some good hauls some none at all maybe a bit early yet take care .
Hopefully a couple of storms bringing decent rainfall with them will get the mud crabs active in this area again soon.
Good luck with catching a feed of blue crabs. Cheers!👍
Another lovely Ep and nice crabs, Iam putting my pots in the area I crab in soon for the first time in 3 years as been big wets and flushed them out, this year dry so should be a feed around.
I hope you catch a few mud crabs in your area following good wet seasons. Thanks for your comment I greatly appreciate it!👍
Thanks for that Brad that is a interesting spot you took us to this time, I couldn't help noticing that Coast line there was amazing, the depth of the Ravines in the range there was incredible to look at, there must be amazing water action coming out of there to carve into it that way.
So what sort of area is that one north or south of town?
Love the adventures you take us on, one day I hope to go for a run north and cruise along the coast for a while just taking everything in.
Boy the girls were in massive numbers this month?
Fishing was tough? not much structure there like your fav live bait spots where you normally take us
Cheers Garry
I was crabbing the shallow coastal flats of Magnetic Island. I agree it was a beautiful backdrop and during the wet season plenty of water spills down the ravines into the ocean.
I hope you find time to explore all the locations of interest to you. We have a truly beautiful and diverse country.
Thanks heaps my friend for your ongoing support.
Oh you are welcome, it is a pleasure watching your content and yes I hope to take the time to go do all those things, to many of us just grind out a job for our whole lives waiting for things to change and then Go adventuring but sadly so many never get there, I have had to put things off for a while because of TMR but hopefully I will break their backs soon and get a decent payout so we can get off the treadmill LMAO@@returnoutdoors2210
Too true my friend the pressure of modern day living certainly takes it toll. It is difficult to jump off the tread mill and find a new pace that offers a quality of life.
Good luck mate.
Great video mate. Hard going sometimes. Still got a feed great job
Too true, it was hard going for a couple of crabs. Thankfully it was a scenic spot to crab and a beautiful day to be on the water. Thanks heaps for your comment it is greatly appreciated!👍
Wow Brad those were some of the healthiest looking Muddies I’ve seen. All in tip top shape. Thanks for your channel mate it’s truly appreciated 👍🏼.
It was a very enjoyable outing with the bonus of a couple of muddies. Thanks for your continued support!👍
Fantastic I love watching you catch mud crabs 🦀 👍 you live in an amazing place with that fishery on your doorstep. Very enjoyable watching Thankyou cheers Geoff 👍😀
Too true, fantastic place to live with plenty of option to get out and enjoy the outdoors. Glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers!👍
Geez how big are those Jennies - you have some crabs for a feed & great video once again. May I ask why doesn't anyone up North eat the cod they catch please. Bit bumpy coming home but manageable hey. Cheers Denise- Brisbane
Cod are considered good eating and lots of people do keep them up here. It sure was an entertaining ride home across the bay in a small boat, Cheers, Brad.
Get some real crab pots! Also put some rocks in there to stop it moving around wouldn’t last a second in a king tide !
These are great pots made by Wilson. Check out a few of my other videos when these pots come up full of big mud crabs.
You should get yourself some and start catching crabs.
When used for their intended purpose they are great.
Good luck with your crabbing hope your luck changes soon!👍
