You had me goin crazy Sammy thinking about how to place a post in each corner of a round pot! Lol. 😳 Defo your first two pots were raided by some grub. 👎 Sanga looked so delicious. Cheers, Jeff. 👍😀🍺🐠🐟🦀🛥
Nice crabs! I got spoilt in NQ years ago. We would go crabbing for muddies on Saturday and cook them up, then refrigerate overnight and fresh crab on hot bread from the bakehouse on Sunday.. YUM!
That was epic Sammy! Here in Charleston SC in the US right in my neighborhood I can go down to to the docks and catch 25-30 big blue crabs in a cpl of hours. We use a chicken neck on a string and a net. Nothing like a big crab boil in the backyard with plenty of cold brews!!😎👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Well done guys sum nice crab there l like to put zippy ties on my crab pots then l know if they been raided It’s a bit of a deterrent so it’s puts them off l find yahoo another great video sammy merry Xmas mate
U put the pots in bait side up I put bait side down I always catch 1 2 crabs in the same size pots I’m in Lake Macquarie nsw does it make a difference what side u put the bait down or. Up
Nice one Sammy, making the best of the circumstances mate. Those first 2 pods were definitely raided, useless buggers. I have my reservations about that shark being placed in there by those raiders for kicks.... At least you got the shark back to life mate, had a good laugh at that,
That’s it mate, gotta change it up when the weather throws you a curve ball! Haha I think I had the magic touch with that shark, he just needed some TLC 🤣🤣
I went crabbing last Friday and got a couple of muddies, but I reckon i was raided as well because I could see foot prints near my pot locations as I was land based.
@@SammyHitzkeFishing thanks mate absolute legend! Want to get into a bit more grabbing just didn’t know to much about it or good area to drop as I usually just drop them in the passage! Have a good Chrissy mate and look forward to more videos
I love fishing. So much so that I ended up being my full time job. So , fisherman to fisherman : Do you go out on New year's Day as part of a tradition? Good Mojo kind of thing...
Oh and speaking of lake macquarie I have recently found reel action podcasts and had some good belly laughs listening to you on the jew and snapper episodes, very funny.
Jeeze Sammy a chef for a Neighbour, that’s a win. All you need is a Neighbour who is a mechanic and another one who is a supermodel, (wishful thinking, just my luck it’d be a bloke) and finally a Neighbour who owns a boat yard and a Toyota dealership and you’re done! Not too much to ask for 🤣🤣🤣🎣🎣🎣🍺🍺🍺🍺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
We call those crabs blueys down in here in South Oz and we also get another crab that we call sand crabs. The Sandies aren't as nice as the blueys. I should get some of your nets, we only use the open ones and you pull em every 20 minutes or so
I'm English so any chance to av a go back at an Aussie. so id like to know at the 2.10 mark. how do you know where the corners are on a round crab pot m8. ha ha, pay back is sweet. Great show by the way, I've subscribed.
Hi, just a question on the I'd tag. I see that you have "info inside" wrote on them. Where do you place this info. I really hate the fact that we have to put our full address in the pots. I think that the boat rego should be enough for authorities. If they need to contact me they can go by that. I really don't want people to know that im away camping and crabbing leaving the home vacant for thieves.
I don't think I would leave pots in overnight anymore, between novices driving over them and thieves stealing them. Anyway well done, still plenty of sand crabs around by the looks.
It’s almost not worth crabbing anymore. Lucky you had rubbish weather to keep all the thieving grubs away. Every time I have dropped my pots in Moreton Bay they have been raided so you did well.
@@SammyHitzkeFishing oh they wouldn't want me or any of my family to get our hands on them cause we will probably throw them into the water n take their whole catch well atleast our limit
Righto legends! Let’s hear your stories!!! What’s the most random thing you’ve pulled up in crab pot?!?!
An undersized dusky flathead gill netted by the mesh. Don’t worry though, it swam away strong just like sammy’s shark.
Estuary Cod of about 8kgs in the Hawkesbury River near Sydney
I caught an alive eagle and i have a photo to prove it.
About a 10 inch thredfin
58cm flatty
“He’s gunna be fine. Look at him swim away nicely” Hahahahahhaa
I’m pretty sure he kicked off just after I turned the camera off 🙃🙃
@@SammyHitzkeFishing successful
by-catch and release mate.
How all sharks should swim away🤪
@@bradgreen9936 haha. Very debatable.
I see Sammy like to play dangerous games like “leave the pots out over night”
Hahahaha sean has TH-cam
@@Kearnesy i do, have done for like 12 years lol
Hahah it’s unfortunate that these days just leaving your pots overnight is a huge risk
@@SammyHitzkeFishing absolutely devastating too when you lose $200 in pots over night too
Only vermin raid pots, gee its not hard to put your own out 👍
Awesome video mate, definitely going to try that sanga😎🍻👍
Nice work lads, you'll have to send the Powerfish after those grubby raiders.
Bastards hey! So annoying! 🍻🍻
Yum!! I love eating crabs 🤗🤗🤗
🤤🤤🤤
Yummmo!! Very nice catch!
another cracking vid bro.
Cheers bro! Thanks for watching 🍻🍻
Nice one Sammy. Merry Christmas mate
Same to you mate! Have a good Xmas 🍻🍻

Hahah little brain buster to start the video 🤣🤣 glad you enjoyed it mate, thanks for tuning in 🍻🍻
Putrid dog is the word for pot raiders
Nice crabs! I got spoilt in NQ years ago. We would go crabbing for muddies on Saturday and cook them up, then refrigerate overnight and fresh crab on hot bread from the bakehouse on Sunday.. YUM!
How good is a fresh crab sandwich! Not many better things in the world! 🤤🤤🙌🙌
Blue swimmer and kewpie is a match made in heaven
🙌🙌 100% magic!
Good one sammy, Ill be chasing a few crabs over the chrissy break so Ill give that sandwich a go, cheers
Nice mate! Hope you bag a few for a feed 💪💪
Great video, thanks

🙌🙌🙌 how good is that! You have tasty crabs on tap! Nothing beats a big crab cook up 🤤🤤
Hi mate do you have a link to buy those particular crab pots?
WTG Sammy, can't beat a feed of sandies. I love whiting and crab meat on toast.
Well done guys sum nice crab there l like to put zippy ties on my crab pots then l know if they been raided It’s a bit of a deterrent so it’s puts them off l find yahoo another great video sammy merry Xmas mate
We do the same, went out today some grub cut the drawstring on the pot instead of cutting the zippy tie on 2 of our pots
@@kyahpene1607 that’s shit they must of really wanted ur crab that’s the down side of it sometimes they just take pots as well
Good work mate
U put the pots in bait side up I put bait side down I always catch 1 2 crabs in the same size pots I’m in Lake Macquarie nsw does it make a difference what side u put the bait down or. Up
Very good thank s
What sort of boat have you got?

After seeing you on the highway the other morning made it really hard to continue onto work. Just wanted to drop everything and head out fishing! 👍👌😂
Hahah sorry bro! Always sucks seeing someone with the boat on the back heading out fishing when your off to work 😫😫
I went crabbing last Friday and got a couple of muddies, but I reckon i was raided as well because I could see foot prints near my pot locations as I was land based.
We’ve been raided so many times
Always sucks when someone checks your pots!
Good haul boys, still waiting over in Perth(the worlds best Covid place) for Ours!
Cheers mate! Hope you guys get stuck into them soon 💪💪
“Marination” lmao I love getting marinated! 😂
What do you look for when your dropping your pots?
Hey mate, I just look for areas around 2-4m deep on a big flat that has plenty of sea grass patches on it 👍👍
@@SammyHitzkeFishing thanks mate absolute legend! Want to get into a bit more grabbing just didn’t know to much about it or good area to drop as I usually just drop them in the passage! Have a good Chrissy mate and look forward to more videos
Which bait worked best? Or were they all good only that the first two were definitely robbed?
Put cable ties on the hook that closes the trap, if its cut it means someone has checked your pot
Yeah might have to next time 👍
Where do you get the ice blocks from?
Benny.
The blue ones are icey tek 2kg blocks and the bag ice is Caboolture Ice 👍👍
@@SammyHitzkeFishing thanks for the reply mate. They keep frozen for a long time.
I love fishing.
So much so that I ended up being my full time job.
So , fisherman to fisherman :
Do you go out on New year's Day as part of a tradition?
Good Mojo kind of thing...
Mate I have in the past, but really depends on weather and family commitments. I don’t push too hard for it. If it happens it happens 💪
Looks delicious. What are you calling them, Sangers?
Mate i just seen you on tv show “reel fishing” i see your crabbing has since improved 😆
Hahaha practice makes perfect 😉😉
How good is kewpie Mayo 🤘
Don't you hate some people. We had a pro checking our pots. Good to see you cleaned up mate 🥪🍻🤘
Yeah mate, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was one who checked ours either. Heard quite a few stories of it getting around
The old Moreton Bay Share farmers at it again
Where R u catching 🦀🦀
I am in Florida
Australia mate
@@NotSoSure422 ok I just see I can use 🐠 line and a snare to catch 🦀 lobster etc.
So I am going to try make 1 from a small plastic bottle R get 1
When we put our crab pots out we a got a 1m82cm woebegone shark in the pot but nothing else we left it out for about 5 hours while we were fishing
nice work bowyyyss
Merry Christmas
Will you ever do a video in yamba nsw on the clarence river?
Possibly mate, been hard to get down there recently with all the border closures!
My favourite place is yamba I wish I still lived in ays
First two pots is the reason I give up on crab except mine were never there they take the lot.
Yeah it’s just not on hey. Such a grub thing to do!
Hello
Happy new year
What's the legal size for 🦀🦀
Bloody pot raiders. Got to love a feed of crabs mate, time for some muddies I reckon 🤙🍻.
I need you to show me the way of the mud crab!
Have you got any more swains episodes left
Not at the moment mate, heading on a trip early next year though 👌👌
my dad and I would always say that the pots had been checked when we didn't get any too
At least you can use pots sammy, in lake macquarie we are stuck with witches hats, good catch for your trip though.
Yeah that’s true! Gotta look at the positives I guess 💪
Oh and speaking of lake macquarie I have recently found reel action podcasts and had some good belly laughs listening to you on the jew and snapper episodes, very funny.
"Chuck the posts in each corner!" ... it's circular Ha ha
😉😉😆 just keeping you guys on your toes! 🤣
Chuck your posts in each corner ... it's a round crab pot SAMMY .... ITS ROUND MAN !!😂😂
Everything has corners if you look hard enough 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey mate where are you guys?
Are sand crabs and blue swimmers the same ?
Yeah mate, same crab different name 👍
I like how you take the shell of and take the guts out before you cook them
lose flavour
Did your mate play “Little Finger” in Game Of Thrones”? He even sounds the same.
Hahah I’m going to say no, but I’ll ask to make sure 🤣🤣
This product is being produced in our factory!
thgey go a bit crazier than the muddies we catch!
Jeeze Sammy a chef for a Neighbour, that’s a win.

Yeah true. We usually only get the blue swimmers or mud crabs. Are you guys allowed to use pots like ours down there? Sorry me states don’t allow them
mad vid again sammy
Cheers legend 🍻🍻
LOL picks up a circular pot and says to put the posts in the corner... LOL
😉😉😉 gotta keep you guys on your toes 🤣
👏👏👏👊🤙👍

Hahaha I wouldn’t expect an Englishmen to understand. it’s a pretty complex system. 😉😉🤣🤣
I've been a bit worried about the floating trees here. Do you go home from here or have a place to stay? I'd like to sit on pots and confront thieves.
Yeah mate definitely need to keep the an eye out. Heaps of floating debris around. I head home for the night mate then zip back up in the morning 👍👍
Love your fishing but almost unsubscribed when I saw 'ol matey with his mini manbun (sorry shaking my head in disbelief)
🤣🤣🤣 Chef julian will be so upset!
Beat me to it... 🤣🤣🤣
if you put the crap net overnight, it will be gone missing in China lol
nice catch tho mate

Tasty boi’s 🤤🤤
Hi, just a question on the I'd tag. I see that you have "info inside" wrote on them. Where do you place this info. I really hate the fact that we have to put our full address in the pots. I think that the boat rego should be enough for authorities. If they need to contact me they can go by that. I really don't want people to know that im away camping and crabbing leaving the home vacant for thieves.
Why do you call them sandys? in tassie we call them blue swimmers.
I'd be a blue swimmer as well if I was in the water in Tassie !!
Im pretty sure i know where you were crabbing and last time i put pots out there they all got stolen
Where is it?
Jeez that’s a bit rough! Need to get some camera’s to watch them!
I don't think I would leave pots in overnight anymore, between novices driving over them and thieves stealing them. Anyway well done, still plenty of sand crabs around by the looks.
Yeah mate it’s definitely a big risk but gotta risk it for the biscuit! Sometimes you get lucky! 💪
Diamètre pvc think you
It’s almost not worth crabbing anymore. Lucky you had rubbish weather to keep all the thieving grubs away. Every time I have dropped my pots in Moreton Bay they have been raided so you did well.
Yeah mate, the worst the weather the better chance you got of keeping your posts. Sucks that it comes down to that!
Hi Little finger
I am calling for a bigger deterrent if you are checking other people's crab pots. It's the ultimate grub act! How do we stop it?
I’m thinking a shotgun cable tied to a tree with the trigger attached to the float
40cm vibrating disco stick
🤣🤣🤣
This is my dads co worker
Them bloody rat's I'll laugh if them rat's had ran out of fuel when they was pulling up the nets so you could have caught them
Wouldn’t that be the dream! Catch the bastards red handed!
@@SammyHitzkeFishing oh they wouldn't want me or any of my family to get our hands on them cause we will probably throw them into the water n take their whole catch well atleast our limit
I cannot stand shit people checking others pots or lines . People get hurt that way in America and I'm sure there to .
Yeah mate it’s very frowned upon. Just need to catch them in the act and then it’s game on!
@@SammyHitzkeFishing yes sir remember no face no case lol . Tight lines man its my dream to get over there some day
Raiding pots is a mongrel dog act
Certainly is!
Shame he couldn’t tell which one was a male and which one was female through the colours
