OMG I caught some HUGE yabbies

- Finally, some very big yabbies have made their way into my yabby nets. While these are not record breaking yabbies, they are still quite big, and to get a few of them is absolutely amazing.
Cherax is the genus of crustacean that has a smooth shell, such as a yabby, hance the scientific name Cherax Destructor. Speaking of destructor, imagine what would happen if I stuck my little finger into the claws of one of these very big yabbies. CHOMP!
Finding these big yabbies has been a journey for me this season. It has been an absolute pleasure, and enjoyable journey, but a journey none the less.
I have found waterways with no yabbies, waterways with no water, lakes with plenty of small yabbies etc... but is has taken me quite a while to hit the yabbying jackpot.
I hope you enjoy this video of me catching some big yabbies on a private property dam today because believe me, I sure enjoyed making it!
For anybody wondering, the yabby is an Australian freshwater crustacean, very similar to the mudbud, crawfish, crawdad and crayfish found in America. There are so many different species and I get confused. I know a lot of American people comment on my videos making reference to crawfish, or crawdads so I think they must be pretty closely related.

Some nice Yabbie's there Robbie, Great Video
Thanks heaps Dane. I have been enjoying your videos lately too.
You prolly dont give a shit but does someone know of a way to get back into an instagram account??
I somehow lost my login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
@Hayden Nathaniel Instablaster =)
@Alan Rudy Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Alan Rudy It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my account :D
Back when i was a young bloke,I always put clean tap water in a foam box with some carrot For about 5 days. It cleans the yabbies out and makes them taste even better.
I could watch Robbie all day and night bloody good videos
Thanks so much for your kind words mate.
Watching your videos bring me a little bit of enjoyment to my miserable life. Keep up the hard work in making these videos.
Thanks so much mate. I'm so sorry to hear that you're having troubles. For what it's worth, I have been having a really tough year behind the scenes myself. I'm sure that there is light at the end of the tinner for us both. 👍
Some nice big yabbies you caught😊
Great catch there mate I once went fishing for yabbies with my uncle and couisin and almost lost my boots from being stuck in the mud great vid 👍
Yabbies crays an craws do a underwater release one of these next video's. That would be awesome footage 👍👍👍
Good vid Robbie, just watched it with me kids and guess what? We’re off yabbying !! 👍👍
Perseverance has paid off Robbie.
Been a very scarce sight can't remember last time had a catch and feed of yabbies and especially good sized ones buddy well done
you ripper hahaha
nice one
Would you please do a catch and cook yabbie video ? Thanks mate !
Hey Robbie
When yabbies first come out of the mud the shell will be soft.
Anyway keep up the good work 👍
The Escapee's must have warned the others...
Big difference on Private property.
Thanks Scott, you're not wrong mate.
Iv got bigger yabbies
I have no doubt. I never said these were the biggest. I just said they were big. Which they are.
Nothing like untouched land
@@robbiefishing yeah most of us understood Rob
Nice bro, worth the effort, keep those dams to yourself and stay friends with the farmer 👍🏾
Thanks buddy. Excellent advice!
@@robbiefishing jeeze Mate...you make it look easy. I'm going hunting for yabbies in March down Jindabyne way. ..everyone says ...look out for snakes. What do you recommend as foot wear...and do you put any yabbies into clean water for them to purge or...a good mud scrub and then the pot. How do you recommend to cook them. I'd hate to kill and then not maximize they're great taste...not having tasted one as yet. Also...where do you get the tops you wear. I'm a big lad too...but mostly a short sleeved bloke. My mate has several dams in cattle country. Theyve been dug out and are slowly refilling. Should these dams be restocked with yabbies assuming they can survive in there. Fish are in there...were there...they tainted the ducks I shot there. Smelled of fish as I took the breasts. Yellow fat was just like fish taint. Yuk. Ducks are safe for now. You've got a good screen presence. Big Men Rock
@@bustergonad3975 hey mate good luck at Jindy. Depends on the land, long grass etc. But whenever I enter snake country I wear gumboots.
As for cooking, I have a video called "How to cook yabbies" If you look for that you will find the most common way to cook them.
Also, I have a video coming our later this week where I catch and cook yabbies in a way that I have never cooked them before. I hope this all helps mate.
@@robbiefishing Onya Mate thanks for the tips...I'll be watching you in the future during work. I'm the boss. Stuck in a room looking through a microscope looking at welds only 1mm wide or less. Might be yabbying in 2 weeks...definitely bbqing..then hammering out a knife or 3. Why dont you use the opera house traps
Wow I’m 15 been watching u for like a hour now ans I find it cool that u get so exited over the yabbies u get the yabbies I catch with my pop are massive like as lomg as your hang amd. Laws the size of 2 fingers and half the length of ur fingers
WOW That's so awesome mate, I'm jealous.
I have caught monsters, but they are very hard to find in my area.
I love yabbying.
@@robbiefishing yeah I love yabbing too last time I went was very disappointing but I’m going again around Christmas
Great work Robbie
Nice sized yabbies there! Great to watch.
Took me a couple seconds for the cockatoo joke to sink in hahaha you get me every time.
Hahaha
Knew you would get there in the end brother, persistence is all hey. lol. Wish i was there mate. Cheers Moose
Awesome video mate.
Thanks for sharing.
I enjoy your show and have been watching it for some time but about two weeks ago subscribed. The one thing that I wish you would do is more catch and Cooks.I remember a couple of shows ago you indicated that you were not a good cook maybe you could collaborate with your wife if she is because I think that most of us who love to hunt and fish are thinking about how good our stuff is going to be when we cook and eat it. I just bought 2 very high-end crawfish traps and looking forward to the weather being warm enough to start fishing them. They were about $80 us each so hopefully they pan out nice. Good luck and keep the videos, and I look forward to them.
I had a blast today I went out to a couple houses that had dams asked if I could catch some yabbys and I caught my personal best all thanks to you
WOW Will that is sooooo awesome, well done my friend and thank you so much for your kind words.
Hi Robbie.
I used to go yabbieing many years age. Out west (Brewarrina) I found that they mostly seem to really like the shade under the trees. You ought to try that sometime.
Nice yabbies Robbie. Went fishing today. Could not catch any , left my bait at home! Ended up using some soft plastics. No luck.
Hey Phillip, don't you hate that! I have a habit of leaving memory cards for my cameras at home. LOL
Good on ya mate it was a fun good watch. Some nice yabbies there as well.
Thanks heaps mate.
Well done Robbie
gday rob i bean going yabbing all my life fishing carbing but love yabbing more would love to go with you some day and show you what we catch in south auss
That's awesome!! Good size on them!
Nice big yabbies.!
Referring to some of yr yabbie videos, some parts of the land near those ponds are looking like desserts at certain parts. Hope more trees are planted. Just caring. 💕
I wish more people cared! It is very dry where I live. At the moment it is the start of winter. Everything is green from rain, but nit enough rain to impact our water storages and dry dams. Hopefully we get more.
Every summer the landscape turns brown in my area during the heat.
Now that was a nice catch your making me hungry 🤤
'They're HUGE!' That's what she said~! ;oP
GLAD you got into some DECENT yabbies this time Robbie! Those are rippers!
That USED to be the average size we used to catch when I was a kid!
Hahahaha thanks mate.
YW :o)
2 videos in 24 hours good on you Robbie
hahaha thanks mate. I am on fire! LOL
Enjoying your vids Robbie,beaut yabbadabas,there mate.Went out yesterday only got 2,then got stung by an inch ant,cut the trip short,got me on the base of my finger,was worried it was going to be a hospital job as my wedding ring on that finger and the concern was the sting was going to make it swell up and cut circulation.The things that happen out fishing lol.
some really good yabbies Robbie
Love your vid RB. Would love to see you catch and cook and eat them in the near future
Awesome. We've only had one chance to catch yabbies. Did it in Mudgee, NSW with a 70c packet of cat food and caught heaps...Two nets over night. It was a heap of fun and can't wait to try it again. Love your enthusiasm. Subscribed!!
Where near mudgee u went as i live near gulgong cant find yabbies here
good job robbie
bloody nice yabbies there
finaly, nice effort getting those big yabbies
Thanks heaps mate.
Woooo finally some biggens!
Great video and great yabbies
Hey mate question for you seeing tho were on yabbies . How do you hook a yabbie up for bait for trout I got told a small one that they can be good bait in the area I've been trying . Just don't know how to rig one up on the line and any tips on if to keep it live or dead ,cheers
nice work mate AWESOME yabbies, keep it up!
Maybe you put some in a aquarium with fresh clean water for awhile so we can see the beautiful colors of the yabbies
Holy moly!! Time for me to chuck the nets out I reckon!
Good luck mate.
Love your energy mate! Happy fisherman :) Yabbyman
They were huge robbie great job
Thanks heaps Dale.
good job mate i pulled my nets up this afternoon too and they were full of yabbies nearly the lenght of a long neck bottle happy days :)))
Awesome. Well done buddy.
That old intro is honestly better than the new one
Awesome size yabbies robbie
Great!
Great work Robbie .yabbie’s are vegetarian’s they feed close to the hedge
They were massive great video
Hey Robbie. This may sound "stupid", but could you please do a vid on how to assemble these types of pots. I'm just wondering if in the folded position they would fit in the boot of my commodore. Then once I get em out of the boot, how do you set em up and prepare. I'm familiar with the Opera House but this new type seem quite different.
Pete
Hey Pete that's not a stupid question. In fact that is an excellent question. I will do my best. 👍👍
Love it Robbie!!!!!!
amazing u have inspired me to catch yabbies now in my dam
Awesome. Good luck buddy.
Great vid mate I'd love to see a redfin catch and cook in the future if possible
Bloody awesome mate!
Thanks Gazza. My uncle Gary ate them all. LOL
you're a good Nephew.
Great video, this is my favourite chanel in youtube
Thank you so much Colbey.
nice yabbies robbie
WOW!!!! OH my!!👍😁
Great video been really enjoying the yabbying something I really haven’t done in 25 or 30 years
Thanks heaps Cam. You should get a few nets and give it a crack mate!
Good to see ya had some luck in this vid 😃
Thanks heaps mate.
12:42 look at that horizon, proof the world is round haha
Hey Robbie 😃 Another quality video mate. Just loving your content of late. Keep up the awesome work mate 👍 BTW ripper yabbs 😜
Thanks so much Brad.
Yummy yummy haven't had yabbies for years
They were absolutely beautiful mate.
Beauties !
Thanks Brian., I sure was stoked!
Bloody ripper mate
Awesome vid
Thanks heaps mate.
Third times a charm, or has it been a lot more then 3 times 🤔😂
Hahaha been about 33 times I think mate. LOL
@@robbiefishing 33 time is the charm haha
Sweet catches man they are big...haha. do they have dedicated farmers who raise pounds by the day while they are in season?
Thanks mate. There are yabby farmers in Australia but I do not know any.
Really enjoyed this little series! Cheers mate :)
Thanks mate. There's so many variables, but I have always found the larger yabbies seem to be in dirty farm dams. The rivers around here tend to have much smaller yabbies. In saying that, there are a lot of variables from river to river. Perhaps a larger dirtier and warmer river in a different area may have larger yabbies?
I love this vid
Thank you so much mate.
Well done Robbie, you should have a cast in that big dam,looks fishy?
Used the enviro nets when they first came out,yabbies' come as they please not the best for soaking.cheers Craig
Bet those yabbies tasted good! I almost had callop for tea tonight but was a tad undersize Haha
WOW Jed that's awesome. Hopefully the next one is a bit bigger mate.
@@robbiefishing hope so mate, not often we get one of those in the crappy river here
On ya Robbie👍🏼
Hi Robbie nice yabbies buddy. Have you ever done a bait vs bait vid eg liver vs carp or tin of cat food. Mite be interesting to find out what works better. I have always sworn by a dirty old carp that has been cut in half just make sure you remove any carp eggs lol cheers mate
Hi Rob thanks for the great suggestion mate. Would you believe that you are about the fifth person that has asked me that today? Seriously. I must look into this.
I live in Brisbane and would love to go Yabbing with hubby and kids do we need a permit to catch them and how much can we catch per a person if there is a number restriction.
Looks like a lot of fun
I'm really sorry but I'm not sure what the rules are up there. It might be worth googling the Queensland Fishing Rules.
They are a huge amount of fun, and kids absolutely love catching yabbies.
Congrats mate. I would have offered the farmer some yabbies for a feed.
Hey mate, I actually did. I offered before I even went yabbying but he said no thanks.
You will be able to feed half the village LOL
Hahahahaha My tribe all love yabbies but my uncle ate them all. LOL
Never tasted a yabby, or caught one. Your channel makes me want to try it out!
Do it my friend...give it a go. Best eating food in the world!
I have caught some big Yabbies but a couple of those sure topped mine. Nice work. Do you curry them. I sometimes do and they are great like that.
Thanks mate. I usually just boil mine with some lemon, salt and vinegar. I have never curried them.
Would you advise using opera houses for yabbies
Do you have any videos of how to cook and eat yabbies? Same as crayfish in the States?
Hi mate, here's one I prepared earlier... LOL th-cam.com/video/68KXfF6g1iM/w-d-xo.html
I’ve never seen you use fish heads in your yabbie net. Any reason?
hey rob since you obviously make way into private land get yabbies could you do similar for eels
Hi mate I would, but we do not have eels up here buddy.
what kind of bait do u use mate
Wow those are the biggest buggers I ever see
Thanks Jade. I was certainly super happy with them....as you can yell!
How many nets are you allowed to have
I would like to know where? Wow!
Huge yabbies, you should try to make your own Murray cod lure and see if you can get anything, i was wondering and thought it would be interesting
Hey mate thanks for the idea. Unfortunately making lures isn't my thing though. I'm a terrible handyman! LOL
@@robbiefishing ahh I carved a lure out of some balsa wood,a little cod smashed it but no hook up
Where do you get your net traps
Persistence pays off whether your fishing or yabbying.
Too true my friend.
Do you keep these for eating? or you doing a yabbie farm?
Hi mate, I actually gave these to my uncle to eat.
@@robbiefishing oh thats good as, uncle has a cabbie farm with hundreds of em haha, same with dams filled with em, to bad you live bit far from us.
MORE taxis, that's ALL we need! ;oP
great vid Robbie , where can i buy some of those nets .
Hiu Luke, if you live in Victoria you can exchange them over for your old opera house nets at participating tackle stores. I know Adventure Camping and Fishing in Wangaratta have them if they are not all gone.
Keep the yabby vids coming Robbie! Do you know why the bigger ones get quite dirty on their underside?
Thanks mate. I am not sure sorry. These ones were covered in little parasites. This is common. Soaking them in salt water before cooking them cleans them all off.
Yeah I've seen those things too, like little sea lice running everywhere
Nice one Robbie!
How did you get access just knock on the door or you know the farmer?
Hi mate, I asked one farmer who sent me to another farmer. LOL So I just knocked on his door.
robbiefishing Cheers Robbie
Those were absolutely huge mate, well done! The last time I had a feed of yabbies I reckon I was still a teenager hahaha. A genuine question, do you find the darkness of the yabbies effects the taste of them at all, or are they all pretty much the same?
Thanks mate. I think they all taste pretty much the same to be honest.
You should do a catch and cook with the yabbies
