@@SkidPig Love your videos and thanks for sharing your experiences mate. If you're ever in Wollongong NSW, I'd love to take you blue swimmer crabbing champ
I went to put pots in off the bank at Fitzroy river got to one spot and did not put pot there due to about a 15 ft croc floating in the water 20 meter off the bank I was not going to walk down the mud bank
Flipping kfc bones we used as a experiment in cairns lol 😂 and I used fish scraps from a 5 star ⭐️ kitchen and soaked it in fish sauce lol 😂 it was better line bait than crab bait but the kfc was good but up the creek 👍but keeping turkeys 🦃 outta our pots is the issue lol 😂 my brother in law gets mighty cranky when we get poached as do I lol 😂
gooday mate i'll start by saying i love your show great stuff, and i just wanted to find out where i can get some of the crab pots you use they look brilliant cheers
A relative of mine was a Professional Crabber for a number of years and he used Kangaroo as bait almost exclusively. He purchased the carcasses off a professional shooter. Cut them up with an axe and stored them in brine.
I make my own berley for whiting, tommies, gar and other table fish down here in South Oz and I use dry bread blended as the base then mix in aniseed, curry powder, tuna oil and garlic powder and I swear it brings in all sorts of fish. The last time I went fishing off the beach I caught 7 different species and tons of them
@@SkidPig yeah it wouldn't work in a pot, unless you shoved it inside a fish and stitched it up so it slowly leaked out, or freeze it in water and that may help it stay together for awhile. But aniseed is a real winner with fish for some reason. Commercially made berleys use it as well
Another great video wondering if you ever tried using coconut meat 🥥 🦀here in Hawaii we use it in our prawn traps is good bait n lasts a long time 👍🌺🤙🌺Aloha
Love how you let that legal go who was mating !! I’ve done the opposite in the past but won’t do it again… even if it’s a 2kg crab… ooooo easier said than done. Still a bit early November might see 1 or 2, at least that’s how it is in the system I crab but once December comes they are scattered on the floor but a lot of soft stuff from their late October/November moult. 👍🏽
@@SkidPig If you could figure out the scent gland the females release to attract the males you may be able to use that? Kind of like trappers of beaver use the castor oil gland of other beavers to attract territorial beavers. You must keep those females' from eating all your bait and filling the traps somehow?
Question for anyone ?? I'm a Qlder. Grew up in Cairns, FNQ. Been down just over the border for about 10 years now, The Tweed. I have heard that these days in QLD there are tons of Jennies. ( just like this vid ) ?? Guys have told me they think that because you can only keep Bucks that its thrown out the whole balance of the crabbing ecosystem, the balance or percentage of male to female numbers ?? Kinda makes sense, I guess that over time it would have to. Just curious, is this true ?? Are Bucks less common and harder to catch in QLD these days ?? Down in NSW you can keep females. About 10 yrs ago, when I moved here, I asked a local Fisheries office why can you keep females in NSW. From memory he said their science is that females get to a certain age and become very cannibalistic ( sound familiar boys ? :) ) and kill other crabs, a bit like female spiders I guess. I find it a good even balance down here when catching crabs 50/50 male/female. I've also read that females only mate once as well, so after that they don't breed, so maybe bigger Jennies should be kept ?? I will say the size limit in NSW is ridiculously small, ONLY 8.5cm from between the eyes to back of caripous. I only keep a muddies about 1kg and up. Caught a few 2kg crabs down here.
FIRST OFF, "Girls like Aniseed", I just shaved, and I've thrown the Brutt33 out and splashed on some Aniseed, there's a girl in the office I've been keen on for a while, WISH ME LUCK BOYS. I'm 51, been crabbing all me life, grew up in Cairns. 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.
Man that’s bad ass mud crab you guys didn’t keep any Jenny’s that’s the best eating ones I love to eat the yellow stuff with the cake eggs that is all in the head yeah I know is illegal but look at how many Jenny’s you all got nah but nice job I wish I could crab like that here in hawaii make more crab video Aloha
@@SkidPig Iam not sure what it is then Iam sure I was told about a herd that if fishery’s found it on boat was illegal so the fish love it any idea Ps love the video
Because if we don't think it would be a good crab to eat we just let them go, it doesn't matter if they are legal, if they are not full of meat it's not worth killing
When I was a kid we used to spear crabs with an old broom handel & a brazing rod flattened out to a barbed point & an old car headlight in northern NSW . Went back a couple of years ago & it was F%^&ed. Too many people taking whatever & not obeying the rules. Theiving pricks don't just take your crabs , but traps & all. Not impressed!! You are so lucky with so much less pressure .
Ya know ya can get bait baskets that would stop eating from outside or outside or inside for that matter. Also stops the bait being walked to the side of the trap and eaten from outside. They are toggled in to the Center.

Nothin like a good crab off😂🍺🍺
Another killer video boss, merch arrived the other day repping in south aus 🤘🤙
Legend 🤙, cheers mate
Coles sausages good for mud crabs 🦀 😁
Aniseed has been my go to for marron fishing over here in WA for the past 25 years
Yeah it seems legit, that was my first time using it
The old aniseed works in ground bait in the UK. You had a good day anyway...Cheers!
All the bucks were too busy to crawl in your nets.
Yeah mate it's on underwater 🤣
I would think a beef liver would work but I don't have crabs where I live.
I went to put pots in off the bank at Fitzroy river got to one spot and did not put pot there due to about a 15 ft croc floating in the water 20 meter off the bank I was not going to walk down the mud bank
Used to go crabbing with me old man years ago , those channels lol , croc alley anyone for a swim haha . 👍
Puget sound rock crab love Starbursts 😂. Tried it out one night
I've never heard of such a thing as "left over brisket". Where does that come from?
This is correct
Epic video skid great spot

Good Job mate 👍 🍺🍺🍻

Yeah it works well, if there are crocs in the creeks they tend to smash up the pots

Nice, wouldn't it all fall apart in a pot??
@@SkidPig yeah it wouldn't work in a pot, unless you shoved it inside a fish and stitched it up so it slowly leaked out, or freeze it in water and that may help it stay together for awhile. But aniseed is a real winner with fish for some reason. Commercially made berleys use it as well
@@SkidPig Thought berley was normally put in a mesh bag?
But what the F do I know,I’m English bloke mainly does freshwater fishing 🤷♂️😆
Brisket is way too good and expensive to be used for crab bait nowadays...lol!
Legends, bro. love watching your videos will be awesome to run in to you oneday
Thanks mate, yell out for sure if you see me around
Aniseed oil has been banned for Carp fishing in certain waters (UK) as it was so effective. They now use Garlic...Just a thought.........😎😎
I'll try it 🤙
Going good Mr skidpig 1k view 58 mins you are killing it ,peww peww
Never ever used bait like that good on mate might try to use that
Another great video wondering if you ever tried using coconut meat 🥥 🦀here in Hawaii we use it in our prawn traps is good bait n lasts a long time 👍🌺🤙🌺Aloha
No I have never tried that mate
I knew a guy here in Scotland who used to use rabbit as bait for lobsters and done very well.
Love how you let that legal go who was mating !! I’ve done the opposite in the past but won’t do it again… even if it’s a 2kg crab… ooooo easier said than done.

Yeah I'm keen to go back there again in a few weeks and see what the difference is
Heck yeah man would love to see the results !! Awesome content love it. 👍🏽
Hey Skid was that the Holt Prawn or from those Barkly grubs?
Not sure mate, they were in a container full of liquid
Great video brother and holy crap at all the crab! To bad they were all mainly female. Love the note to the poachers lol. Keep up the great work 🤙🍻
Cheers bro, yeah I'll be back there in a couple of weeks and see what the go is
Aww that is good stuff I use it all the time for fishing lol
I caught crabs once from a lot lizard in Texas. She was as ugly as a mud fence. I had to use dog shampoo to get rid of them.
🤣🤣🤣
@@SkidPig my wife didn't think it was so funny....
In Florida I like using ladyfish and mullet. Some use Chicken but I don’t like it.
What's Lady fish?

my wife used canned green beans to fish with. surprised me.
I found in QLD the Jenny to buck ratio to be hugely different, far too many Jennies. NSW was more even.
Yeah we can't keep any Jennies in Queensland
Proof you need to open Jennie’s for a season!
💯
Ye yee maaad 🤙
It looks like all the legal crabs have been taken. Too many crab fishermen?
Yeah the pros hit it pretty hard
Oyster the best I reckon..💯👍
Man that’s bad ass mud crab you guys didn’t keep any Jenny’s that’s the best eating ones I love to eat the yellow stuff with the cake eggs that is all in the head yeah I know is illegal but look at how many Jenny’s you all got nah but nice job I wish I could crab like that here in hawaii make more crab video Aloha
Is anaseed illegal or is it another herb
They sell it in fishing shops here
@@SkidPig Iam not sure what it is then Iam sure I was told about a herd that if fishery’s found it on boat was illegal so the fish love it any idea
Ps love the video
No comment on the mud crab spelling title or just this🤡see it, Great upload Skid smashed it !
Too much hydrating before typing
I just noticed it 🤣
Have a crack at a cake of soap for bait it does alright on yabbies 🤙
Fecking hell wish we could legally take a Jenny per pot on board ya would've had a better feed . But shithot spot bro
Why do u not show you measuring the crabs. From what I seen there was more than one legal crab in those pots.
Because if we don't think it would be a good crab to eat we just let them go, it doesn't matter if they are legal, if they are not full of meat it's not worth killing
Is the secret spot muddy gutter in crocy? Not real secret always pots there lads
No mate that's not it
@@SkidPig yea after watching further no way muddy gutter goes up that far haha
Jenny’s always taste sweater mate
from crab pot
Hagas cooked and uncooked?????
My wife is Vietnamese, they love Jennies.
We can't keep them in Queensland

The pressure is still bad but we go to places that most people wouldn't go due to the potential of getting stranded there
👍
aniseed fucking slams freshwater crays and fish in victoria
Really? I was pretty impressed
Looks like you guys stumbled on to an Epstein island of crabs. 😳
🤣🤣🤣
WTF is a mudcarab Skid?????
Dam!!! Thanks mate I'll change it
If you keep them a good video contains catching them and cleaning them and most importantly the cooking part
If you want to see the cooking part, look for the videos with "COOK" In the title of the video.
Not a happy camper.
I hate sharks. Freaking menace. snakes too.
Why Australians speak with their nose ?
It's what we do
You have to use that language.
What language?
Ya know ya can get bait baskets that would stop eating from outside or outside or inside for that matter. Also stops the bait being walked to the side of the trap and eaten from outside. They are toggled in to the Center.
Well that aniseed is illegal to use crayfishing. So it would def have Merrit
