- There's a lot to know about crayfish bait. A lot more than just "which one works best". If you live a long way from a crayfishing area, and don't get to go crayfishing very often, then you will want the best bait that money can buy.
However, if you live close to crayfishing waters, and go crayfishing frequently, you may wish to choose a bit that is more economical, or one that holds it's smell for a lot longer.
In this video, I tell you about my person 5 favourite crayfishing baits.

Excellent thanks rob...
Just back from a fishing trip and your presentation made it a perfect day 😎🇬🇧
Great video mate, I agree 100% about your top 5 bait choices. I love how you spliced your crayfishing footage in there
Thanks mate. I love craying and can't wait to get back out. I have a heap of fresh venison here to use as bait.
Can’t wait to watch a good crayfish bake review👍🏻🔥❤️
I’ll have to try out some of these baits when I go crayfishing. Also I always smile when I see that rod holder in the background 😃
Always love a little crayfish fishing 🎣
Thanks Will, me too mate.
Over here in WA to catch our freshwater crayfish (marron) a top bait is chook pellets in a stocking, smeared with vegemite. Works an absolute treat the pellets absorbs the strong vegemite smell. We also use the baits mentioned the video except carp. Very informative robbie, great job 👍
Vegemite final use cause it ain't edible for human consumption
yay ive been waiting for a video like this
Thanks Wazza, I hope you found it useful mate.
Thanks for that Robbie, good to know
Thanks Mark. If I wasn't able to go craying as often as I do, and it was a rare occasion, I would absolutely be using meat of some kind.
G'day Robbie, enjoyed the video and the breakdown of the baits.
Carp is a very good salt-water bait also. Especially for the likes of gummy sharks.
Here's a bit of trivia, that you probably already know.
From what I've learned, over the years, crayfish are vegetarian. They only eat meat to stop it from fouling the water. I read a book a few years ago. It was written in the late 1800's by a fellow in Tasmania. He was studying the giant crayfish that live there. These things can grow to around a metre long. He wrote that he found a dead wallaby beside a small stream and a giant crayfish was eating it. It actually came out of the water and over a 3 day period, consumed the entire wallaby. Hair, skin, bones, the whole bloody lot.
I suppose it had to jump in the water occasionally to catch its breath. 😆😆😆
Yes it is fascinating.
I'll try to get the name of the book for you.
Anyway, have a great day, cheers Craig.
Great video mate
Thanks so much Tyler.
I Robby it’s me again nice video it will help because I live near the river.
Hi Leisa thanks for the great feedback.
Over June long weekend we went to the goulburn river and used lamb fry and chicken frames. Cleaned up the crays with chicken frames we got around 150 between 10 nets!! Ripper weekend
WOW what an awesome weekend by the sounds of it. Well done mate.
Here in south east Qld we have a lot of redclaw and they love rockmelon and parboiled potato. A cheap tin of catfood, corn on the cob and even sunlight soap are popular baits. The new style opera house traps are legal here. Can't use the old type.
Love it Robbie, a feed and cook?? Dead carp is good.
G'day Robbie, yep back again.
The reference to the wallaby eating crayfish may have been written by Charles Gould in 1870, in a paper he did for the royal society of Tasmania.
If you get onto Wikipedia under giant crayfish, then scroll through the references, there is a pdf you can download.
Anyhow, cheers again, Craig.
We also used large safety pins to hold our bait in
10:20 hi Robbie, you mentioned "CARP" good for bait. Did you no carp is also good for surf fishing gummy sharks etc love it 🎣.
Cheers love the videos
Hi mate, no I didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know, that is awesome that saltwater fish will eat freshwater fish.
You can catch yabbies and freshwater shrimp using green gum leaves and also velvet soap . Not sure about if crays would go for it . Apparently it's the oils that attract them
Another really good one is Bunker and or any excessively oily ocean fish
Pumpkin at night time... it sounds silly. I thought so to until I tried it. I have had great results using it.
Word up Homie! great video.We did some yabbing at Dartmouth last week and used dogfood and Samba liver, i reckon what you say about the liver is true it works fantastic at the start then loses it's effectiveness after a while i think the dogfood was not initially as good but lasted longer, we weren't expecting much being the wrong time of year but we got about 40 yabbies, great fun! I would assume Yabbies and crays would like the same baits or do you see any difference?
HOMIE.... I was wondering how you went. Jenson invited me along but I couldn't get away.
That sounds awesome. Looks like I missed out. Maybe the water is a bit warmer down deeper?
I reckon crayfish and yabbies are very similar to be honest. I know different species of crustacean eat different foods, but I reckon yabbies and crayfish here seem to have very similar eating habits.
Hi the very best bait I have ever used is yellowbelly scraps after you fillet them it's amazing and carp is second best for me mate
Hey Scott that makes perfect sense. I have caught heaps of yabbies on yellowbelly and redfin heads and scraps.
Hey Robbie, love your videos, keep up the great work, im currently crayfishing and camping on the goulburn river up near Shepparton, just got a quick question What flavour dog food do you use? I think theirs chicken or beef, just curious which one u buy for crayfish and yabbie bait
Thanks Legend, hope you enjoy your night 🤙
Hey mate thanks for your kind words.
I'm honestly not sure what flavour I usually grab. LOL All I know is that I am convinced that Goodoos works better than other dry dog food.
@@robbiefishing haha all good mate, I reckon I'll try chicken flavour 😄, thank you 😁😁 I went to ovens River queens birthday weekend and drove past Wangaratta 😄 caught some nice size crayfish, 3 were legal size and 1 under size had a blast cant wait to go again 🙃
What is opinion of rotting meat vs fresh meat?
Does this work for Yabbies as well?
Good tips mate 👍👍👍👍👍. I recon you could find sheep’s heads attached to a sheep, unfortunately the cocky might get upset if you harvest them hahahahaha
Hahaha Very good point. LOL Thanks mate.
My local butcher does lamb fries for 2.50 CANT go wrong with that. Another good tip it for lamb fries ties them in with rubber bands.
$2.50 each?? OMG.... I would be loving on the stuff. I like a feed if lams fry. LOL Rubber bands, never heard that before. Thanks for the great tip mate.
Hey robbiefishing Hey you you watching robbiefishing keep up the good work mate and keep the good content coming mate and keep up the good cod and redfin and yellowbelly and crayfish fishing videos coming mate and stay safe and god bless and i am going mud crabbing tomorrow robbie
HEY KANE....Thanks so much legend. Sounds awesome buddy, good luck on the crabs.
@@robbiefishing Thankyou Robbie you are a legend mate because you keep the good content coming mate and i love to watch your youtube videos and and i laughed when you slipped over in one of your youtube videos mate
I say , hare ,carp, wild wood duck i cook up the lamb fry and lamb shanks for tea
Master baiting tips
Have a look at Trapper J catches carp with bow and arrow.
Justin is a cool dude.
Hello Robbie. Mentioning brains, the Native American people would use the brains of a deer, etc, to tan the animals hide. It was stated that the animal had enough brains to tan its own hide. Brain tanned buckskin becomes soft and supple, to make good clothing.
Mate, thats not too bad, ive spent hours and caught sod all lol. well a cold. lol
Cant use carp in South Australia as illegal to put back into water, dead or alive!
mum used to cook me crumbed lambs brains, i loved it, i have always maintained that the sheep werent using them anyway, you can just extract their brains and release them back in to the paddocks to grow in to sheep
Hahaha thats hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣
My mum use to cook them the same way. They were soooo nice. Very white and tender. LOL
Kids these days wouldn't understand. 🤣
Chicken backs
Sheesh
Get on to some kangaroo meat mate I've found that as of today it could be a fluke as well but 8 in one net and 5 in another net the crays was all over it.
8 in one net....WOW That is awesome buddy, well done. I use venison a lot, which is quite similar to roo meat. Very very good bait.
@@robbiefishing definitely great bait mate. In 2 weeks I'm getting some wild goat I'll give that a go as well.
@@robbiefishing I'd GO the 'roo meat too!
@@Urbanfisho There could be a few legal complications for me if I start telling thousands of people to use kangaroo meat for bait though. LOL
@@robbiefishing is it illegal to lop a chunk of a fresh road kill? Obviously it's not pleasant but there's plenty lying on the side of the road.
good old carp mate #1,,,and your utilizing a pest fish
They sure are excellent bait.
Do you know that chicken feet cost more per kilo than do chicken wings ?
I am going to KFC tomorrow to buy $8 bucket Tuesday special - 10 chicken tenders OR 5 original pieces
There are 2 other options - I forget
WOW 😳🤩
I remember listening to a guy in a pub years ago talk for 5 mins about the sexual reproduction of butterflies for a jug of beer. It was so entertaining and passionate.
You just did the same for 12 mins - let me buy you 2 jugs of beer
Great vid 👍
Thanks for sharing
Love your work
haha Thank you so much. I never knock back a beer mate. LOL
the dog food factory in Ingleburn stinks like dog shit when you drive past about 150 metres away from the factory with your windows wound up, so its not surprising that it retains its stench
Haha thats funny, because so does the one in Wodonga. LOL Uncle Ben's.
My ex wife works there. (Well last I heard she did). When she had her induction in 2001, they try to convince her that they don't smell. They said the abattoirs next door was where the smell came from, and that Uncke Ben's always got the blame. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Idk what he even talking 😮 bout
LOL I'm speaking English so you should be able to understand unless you're speaking a different language?
