- I put my yabby nets in last Sunday and was going to check them on Monday, but got held up and didn't get a chance to check them until Friday. So they stayed in for 5 days and 5 nights without being checked.

HEY YOU merch now available on Red Bubble: www.redbubble.com/i/sticker/Hey-You-by-robbiefishing-by-RobbieAlex/81288938.EJUG5
geez Robbie, you usually struggle to not check them for half hour.. but 5 days?! haha.. rippa size, and great vid' mate 👌👍
haha Thanks mate. I checked them after half an hour but left that scene out so that the video wouldn't be too long. LOL
Haha 5 days your patience has grown quite a bit
hahahaha
That's good stuff there. I'm a gazillion miles away in the Florida Keys and still anxious to see you pull in that net....Love all your vids, real deal guy is fun to watch.
Hu Brian thank you so much fornyour very kind words mate. Stay safe over there buddy.
5 days is a lot longer then the normal impatient 10 minute check. 😂
hahaha I would be lying if I said that I didn't check them after half an hour. LOL
robbiefishing don’t blame you, it looked almost golden for yabbies. Imagine that same place in the summer catching huge big yabbies there!
One day I went yabbying the yabbies were the size of a beer bottle 🍾
Good one mate that was a real nice yabby looked a real nice colour too 👍👍👍👍👍
I loved the colours on that big blue one, what a stunning creature! Great sign seeing little ones in there, wherever they came from
Thanks mate, I do too, absolutely beautiful when they get that blue colour.
Hey you!... Another great video 😎👍... Thanks Robbie...
big blue looked like he has seen and been in a few blues, they don't get much bigger than that! Awesome mate!
Thanks Les, blue by name blue by colour. LOL
Very Nice Robbie. Yabbie season is just starting again which is great since i can go yabbing and you can create awsome vids for everyone to enjoy.
Thanks so much mate.
48 000 people love ya Robbie....good on ya Beast....We all love a good ol Aussie 🖒
Thanks heaps mate.
More than 79000 now 😂
Love your videos and it's good to see people winning the giveaways and awesome to see such a great youtuber making great content keep it up
Thanks heaps mate.
I was taught that yabbies and eels move when the water starts running. We got a professional eel catcher in to clean out our dam before we stocked with red claw and last year we had a blue craw yabbie that was about 3 times bigger than than that blue with eggs all over her. Another thing I learnt is that if you see a turtle laying eggs high above the water line or climbing areas that you would not ordinarily think you'd find a turtle, the wet season will be strong as they're looking for higher ground to lay eggs. Last year I nearly ran over a turtle about 300m from the river up a steep incline and knew this year was going to be WET. IT'S AMAZING WHAT AUSTRALIAN WILDLIFE CAN TELL US ABOUT OUR WEATHER AND ENVIROMENT. Us silly white fellas still have a lot to learn and it's very disappointing that you can't see platypus like we used to when we were kids. Isn't it great to see our country with some running water again!? BEAUTIFUL!!!
Robbie , I swear to gawd you are my brother from another mother. I do exactly what you do , just on the west coast of the states. I love your channel mate , and if I ever get the chance to catch yabbies ( or crawfish in my land ) , we're gonna do it! I know this is an older video , but I've fallen behind. Love what you do my man!
Hey Jeffro thank you so much for you amazing words my friend. I dream of some day travelling to the U.S.A. and catching crawfish
@@robbiefishing Heck yeah Robbie!! I have a few ways of catching them. If I'm in the big creeks , i'll swim / snorkel bank to bank for a good 3 miles and fill up two 5 gallon buckets.........OR go out with a buddy and drop traps in the Columbia river. I have pulled up traps that had around 200+ yabbies in there , and some are monsters. Different breed than what you have there , but I have caught some with claws up to 4". I'm also only 1 hour from the coast , where I dive of set traps for crabbing , but also spearfish as well. Honestly though.......some of the best crawdad fishing days I have ever had , were in the smaller creeks , just walking up current and checking every square inch. Even in little creeks.......you would be amazed at how big some of those suckers get! Close to the river size!! I promise you , when the season comes in a few months , I will at least try to get you some pictures!!
Great video Robbie! That yabbie was massive. Todays been a good day 👍
Vincent Chircop yeah mate this is my channel. Feel free to check it out
Thanks so much mate. I have got your email. I just got home from fishing and have heaps of work to do, but will get back to you ASAP buddy.
Great vid mate. Love catching yabbies
Thanks so much mate. Me too.
I get big boys like that up the back of my joint mate. I skip a year every two, works out well. Awesome catch.
Thanks Moose. Sounds like an excellent idea to rest them mate.
No impatient check? As surprised as I am by that it seemed to work what a monster yabby well done👍
Ol' big blue was a bruiser. Looking forward to some more yabbying videos.
Thanks heaps mate, wasn't he ever!
Great video mate love them
Holy shit Robbie, 5 WHOLE DAYS, that’s a new record for you 😂, great vid,
I love going through your older vids love you and the content
Haha thanks so much mate. 🤣🤣
Yabbies baby, need some lambs fry for that good feed. Keep them yabbie vids comin mate. Luv your string technique.
Terrific mate 👍🏻👍🏻
Such a great video robbie! me and me mate loved it
Thanks so much mate.
That big bluey was a ripper yabby!
love the work mate and that a good size yabby
Thanks heaps mate.
Awesome, I gotta big blue in a tank with my guppies the size of Blue- and believe it or not his name is Blue! 😂😂 top stuff !
WOW that was a lot bigger than what I normal see! I would suggest trying to suspend the bait in the middle of net especially if the body of water is rocky or curved as then they can just crawl up and around the net and still get the bait.
Holy dooley mate, the horse I backed in the Melbourne Cup this year wasn’t that big. Just as quick though. Thanks for sharing mate.
Haha thats funny. Thanks for watching mate.
5 days... the first and last time thats happening 😂
And excellent choice in music
hahaha Thanks heap smate.
Wow what a monster, that was a dinosaur! What an amazing catch mate keep it up Robbie
Thanks so much mate.
I usually find that the smaller yabbies start moving out first and then the big ones start becoming more active so should be plenty of big yabbies in that dam that will soon rise from the mud mate, hopefully the same size and as that big one aswell.
Hey James thanks mate, I hope you are right. Sounds like a very good explanation though.
Wow he looked like he was doing muscle poses for the pics. Awesome vid mate
haha Thanks heaps Tezza.
👍 great video friend
5 days 5 days. The local farmers frezzer is proberly full of yabbies. For the last 5 days hes been emptying them each day buckets full of yabbies and it didn't even cost him a dog biscute. He's proberly watching you right now hoping you put in more fresh bait and return in another 5 days. 😀😁😃😄😆😉
hahahaha I better keep my eye on him Vincent. Maybe I better set up a trail camera on my nets. LOL
Nice 1!
A little piece of advice from a Cajun here in Louisiana! If you want to catch many more and load your nets fast get you some really bloody meat and put that in your traps! Crawfish love bloody meat and just like a shark they can smell the blood in the water! Over here we use meat called Melt and usually when we pick up our nets after a hour or two the crawfish are falling out of the net there are so many! Anyway the meat we call melt looks a lot like liver like calf liver or even hog liver and the crawfish love it! If you try my suggestion let me know how it works out for you?
love your yabbie vids robbie
Thanks so much mate.
How do you cook them
They would be in the swamp for sure Robbie feeding on fresh stuff. They will climb back overland at night to the dam or a new one once the water starts to drop in the swamp
Thanks Ben, I reckon you might be right mate. I have actually seen them crossing land at night at Lake Urana years ago. As teenagers my cousin and I were walking around with torches (Probably dolphin torches back then) picking them up. LOL
@@robbiefishing haha used to do the same with the same bloody torch haha. Used to see Eels as well. Those used to scare ya as a kid lol
What are Minows Robbie?
Robbie 5 days mate Quality not Quantity that's about as big as they get that was a ripper.👍 Which is more than i can say about the "joke" not a fan. Lol as always great video. Keep them coming mate.👍🙂
haha Thanks heaps Dave. LOL My Pop use to tell me that the reason farmers had fans was to keep the sheep cool in Summer. hahaha
That’s a personal record for you 😂
hahaha I think so too mate. LOL I did do a sneaky check not long after I put them in though. LOL
I like the yabby music
Hahaha thanks buddy.
Since when do u realease yabbies
Bravo.
I wonder how old a big yabby like ol Blue there is..?
I miss Arkansas.
White River mudbugs in Cotter.
Good eating.
wow 5 days hey robbie what is the best yabby net to bye i need good ones
Thanks mate. I find these collapsible bait traps to be the most versatile.
Wow Robbie Alexander wait 5 DAYS! To check his yabbie nets 😂 that must be your record?
hahaha I think so Sash. I did check them about half an hour after I put them in but that was it I promise. LOL
Unusual for you but great patients
All those little ones were perfect perch bait size.
You're not wrong mate.
What a stonker!
The big yabbies must of had a father that was a Murray Cray.
Hey Robbie, did ya get daylight savings mixed up? Its 1hr ahead. Not 5 days. Lol.
hahahaha Love it! LOL
Little yabbies are goodo (r.r.r)!
They grow bigger! Black/blue. Not marrons?? Never seen em that color down south. Except one dam i know that did have marrons released in it. Thanks for the great vids!!
Thanks heaps Trevor. Definitely yabbies mate. (Cherax Destructor).
@@robbiefishing they certainly are destructors when the latch onto your fingers!! I saw that happen to ya not so long ago...nasty liitle blighters!!
Haha I can’t wait 5 minutes
The little yabbies would be perfect for cob
Hey Robbie been subscribed to ya for a while now, I saw you using a raider rod for a spinning rod to catch murray cod, was wondering what exact raider spinning rod would you use for murray cod? Cheers in advance if you can get back to me, love ya work
G'day mate, I can not remember the exact model sorry. It's out in the shed and I haven't used it for 6 months.
From memory its about 6 foot long and probably around the 6kg - 8kg size i think.
robbiefishing Thanks for the help, Fish on mate!
Was that a yabbie, or a blue swimmer ?
LOL I trhink it was a blue submarine mate!
I got pinched by one today, it hurt really bad
We call um ponds in East Texas. Enjoyin😂g this while it's 100° or 37° C
Thanks so much for watching Nancy.
I don't think Satan would be able to handle 'Big Blue' there! Wow!
How is Satan? He out of Brumation yet? The wild one in my yard has been out and about a little over a month already, but then again, I'm in the Bendigo area, not the north-east...
Haha you're not wrong mate. He woukd give Satan a nasty surprise I think. LOL He is going very well thanks mate.
@@robbiefishing Left a picture on your FB post. Keep up the good work!
In our local golf dam I sore a 60 cm at least I had boots
Looking good! Your loosing weight!
Whenever I leave them in for longer than 3 days they start to act aggressive and break through the net, probably coz all the food gets eaten.
Get new string? Frayed knot .....
hahaha I was going to throw the frayed not joke in there somewhere but didn't want to take the edge off my fan joke. LOL
@@robbiefishing the fan joke was noose to me .....
My bet is we will see a lot of that old rope still in use.
We do, but thankfully we rarely see it used for set lines anymore, well not in my area anyway.
5 days for a cray net will get you a fine from fisheries
24hrs max set time
I’m assuming that it all cool as I’m sure you would have checked before advertising that you were doing something illegal 😁
Spot on. These are yabby nets, not cray nets. LOL There's rules around net designs but not around how long we can leave them in.
There small I've caught some that are almost 20 cm from tail to end of claws
Oh absolutely, so small. You are amazing. LOL well done.
I’m not sure about the net style you’re using, Robbie, but I know they can walk in and out of the opera house style with steel rings on the entries.
I’ve had about 25 in one, which was wired shut. I didn’t have a bucket with me, so I threw it back in, and pulled it out an hour later and there was only half the original count.
Hey Jarrad.. haha I have had that happen and it sux balls. LOL The open top loft nets are even worse. NEVER throw them back in with yabbies still in them.
Idk know if ur in NSW Australia but if u are they are illegal but maybe not 2 years back tho
Hi mate, I am in Victoria. I think it is also illegal in NSW to leave nets in for more than 24 hours.
Me at 9 years old. I would catch a 5 gallon bucket full in 3 hours. With $2 worth of bacon. Then the Chinese store owners would scam of for them. By letting me play the arcade game 🤣🤣🤣
I guess that is another way of saying crawdad, crayfish, or mudbug?
No mate, these are yabbies. Similar but different.
@@robbiefishing thanks didn't know
We have a yabby that is 34cm long he is like a crayfish
WOW What a monster!
HEY YOU.... i caught a Murray cod 70 to 75 cm on cheese, and i caught a tabby just like that.
Did you throw the poor cat back? 🤣😂
Nice
@@trevormerivale6882 hahaha My spell checker always changes yabby ro tabby as well. LOL
@@robbiefishing haha, it does some funny stuff. When I read Ryan Willis' comment I couldn't help myself, but I knew what he meant as I'm sure anyone else that watches your channel. Which I love by the way. Your transparency definitely adds to why I tune in mate. Your one in a million champ. Just keep on being you 👍
WOW Well done buddy.
Green cord?. Get some hutchie cord or coms cord as it's known.
gone ysbbing today got to mosters
Don't forget there's meat inside those claws just get a nutcracker and break it open
Thats not a yabbie. Thats a crayfish
hahaha you're not wrong mate.
I'm not a big fan haha💯 less go robbie
Not much of a meal , good dam great colour, might be good when the weather heats up, or too many people know about it?
Thanks mate, thatg's why I put it back. It is private property. I have caught yabbies there before but never seen anybody else there.
Leaving them in for 5 days?? 😱
This is so unlike you...
Hahahaha
You need some wire mesh Nets those are garbage
Glom all over me kukkaburras.
Their just crayfish.
No they're not, they're yabbies. LOL Crayfish are much bigger.
Fu quit worrying about it show me some
i thought you must have been having a couple of days of, but, as it turns out somehow i had become unsuscribed to your channel, pretty annoying, anyway, i will try again
Haha I wonder what happened there John?
It's nit like me to sit still very often. LOL Unless I am watching my fishing rods. LOL
I get the feeling Robbie has buried a few bodies out there in the outback 🤔😬😯🤫
And I can assure you that nobody will ever find them.
@@robbiefishing fuckin right Robbie way to be😂👏👏🤙👏 Killa 🤣🤣
