I'm sitting here in bed watching your video swatting away mozzies thinking I'm being attacked 😁
That was bs bad!!!!
As the sun starts to set Skidpig figures out why there are no foot prints on his perfect tiny sand bar
Along with the fish, the tide will bring back the giant Crocs.
It was at this time Skidpig remembered he has to go to work in the morning. 😎👍🤙. 🐊
🤣
We call the cylinder pots ‘Gully Pots’. Once in the water with each funnel facing the current directions, you lift the pot up and then dropping it until it rolls/sits in the lowest area. The gully. I use 9 strand paracord, it sinks to 🍺🍺
Great work mate onto it 👍 watched wearing headphones and think a mozzie is in me ear ……top quality asmr 😂 got me on the last vid I watched also bloody mozzies
One more tip for QLD globe. Click:
layers > Add layers > Elevation > Hillshade traditional
Then you can zoom in and find every drain that won't even show on aerial imagery.
You can also make an account in qld globe and save your maps in your phones cache for offline use. Better than screenshots because you can use the gps to pinpoint the points of interest.
That's awesome mate l, thanks for sharing 🍻
I did not know that one chats , thanks . I've been using Qld Globe for a few years but I find it slow to load , whereas google maps and Google Earth is quite fast . 4g internet .
@@chats5957 That works , thank you .
I'm 51, been crabbing all me life. 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.
I did do that but found that they don't give a s--- and just run a knife through the mesh. I gave up and would rather lose a crab than the cost of a new pot. I just spent probably $70 on a cam camera and after you catch the first and let it be known there are cameras around it's pretty good.
“I’ve got sunscreen in my eye”
Now you know how she feels!
🤣
did not know about the QLD globe, thanks for the heads up fella
🍻
Rope is a great idea and plate idea definitely seems plausible 🤙🍻🍻
The mozzie noise was making me itch while watching haha , great vid 👍
It was pretty crazy
If a plastic plate is too expensive, use a Frisbee. They are free when the neighbourhood kids throw them in your yard 🤣
And perfect size 🤣
@@SkidPig What's the perfect size? The neighbours kids or the Frisbee?
Could always combine the 2 and see the results. You know, in the name of science.
Im swatting the mozzies here at the computer hearing that! lol
Beautiful spots. Plate idea definitely a poer.
Beautiful drive thru analogy ba😁
Definitely worth doing.
Great to see you back bro
Cheers mate 🍻
Looks like a great spot... with more time
Both ideas look good Skiddy.
🤙
Plate idea is good as I do something very similar I use the plastic coated gutter guard to close it. As I have seen to many crabs sitting on outside of pot getting free feed close it up make them come inside
💯
Plates look like a brilliant idea
Great video mate love watching them.....got my hat and cooler the other day lets go 🤘🤘
Cheers mate 🍻
Great idea skid great spot
🤙
Your on to something mate. Try again when they can sit for a couple of tides and they will load up 😎👍🏼
I will mate for sure
Hey mate that was me hanging out the window up near the Bohle barn this arvo. Love the vids bro once my boat is done will have to do a tag along trip.
Haha yeah I saw ya 🤙
U should do a updated gun collection vid mate
I think you need to invest in a skidpig hovercraft. Or convert a canoe into one for those smaller gutters. Could be a winner.
I had a crazy idea about something like that, I just don't have the money to make it happen at the moment
Plate would work for sure. 🤙
🤙
Great work mr skidpig to bad you had to go to work. That rope be good for my redclaw traps skidpig ,peww peww
💪🏼
Ropes good idea looking for new places good idea to 🤙
Yeah, not everyone has a drone but everyone has a phone 🤙
Do you ever see any Crocs? And have you guys ever heard of OFF? It works wonders!😂
Yeah plenty of crocs up here, OFF the bug spray? Yeah I've used it before. I prefer Bushmans
@@SkidPig those flys just dgaf huh? 😂
Reckon your on a winner there mate
Makes sense to me too seen to many sitting under and on pots in my time for it not to work well
Me too, I'm always thinking about mud crabs 🤙
hi can you please tell me what year and is your boat that you had wrapped ?
What year is my boat ? or what year did I have it wrapped?
I reckon you should change your name to “THE CRABINATOR”😂 🍺🍺
In Townsville now, have been to Deeragun couldn't find you 😉. Anyway enjoyed the video mate...(UK)
You won't find me in deeragun mate 🤣🤙
@@SkidPig Oh no, no merch we are moving on tomorrow Monday.
Reckon you're on the right path
So now everyone knows about QLD Globe. Good on ya Skid !!!
I don't see a problem with helping people mate
@@SkidPig I agree jimmy I tell everyone about Queensland Globe shows everything on low tide.
Sounds like it'll work. You should make mud colored plates with your logo on them.
Nah people can just buy a cheap one from a camping shop or something
I recon you are on to it skid
I think about crabs a fair bit 🤣
🤙
Hey mate , just wondering do you work in the mines ? And what’s your roster 👌🏽 love ya vids brus
Nah mate, I work for myself. Car carriers
A sound theory
Anything to stop the tea leaves has to be good
What Beard oil you use?
Also dope Sunnies
I don't use beard oil mate, spotters sunnies
Why is it everytime ya go fishing. And ya look for bait nothing. Then when ya go crabbing... well would ya look at all this bait everywhere 🤣🤣🤣 everytime I swear. Great video mate as always awesome content
I know mate, it does my head in
@@SkidPig grew up with mangroves out the front and would go crabbing with mates all the time. Everytime you don't have a castnet...fish appear you've never seen before. Then when you have a cast net...you end up throwing pot shots...just throw and hope for the best 🤣🤣
You can get leaded rope in 10m lots from Crab N Gear
No you can't, everywhere is out of stock apparently
Beer o clock you beauty 😊.
🍻
Shhhh don’t give away all the secrets brother! 😝
have you ever had any close calls with salties?
Not real close....yet
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Cracker of a spot apart from the mozzies mate.
They were crazy, I was loosing it when the camera was off 🤣
@@SkidPig can just imagine the colorful language you were using
Do you live in Townsville?
Yes
Skeeters are rough... can hear em on the camera
Love how ya say can ya see that., maaaaate there thick as a ball a bait ahah
Please do more drop net muddie ones aka “dilly pots” you call em us wa Pilbara lads can’t use over nighter nets :(
Yeah I'm due for a dilly session. You can hook crabs over there, that's illegal in qld
@@SkidPig so y’all can’t hook crabs
🤙👍🤙🍺🍺
Youuu beeeyouteyy
🍻
@@SkidPig 🍻
I would have been loosing my shit with all the mozzies drives me up the wall I’d end up with Ross river for sure
I was going crazy off camera 🤣
@@SkidPig akubra hats attracted the little shits bush man’s like sunscreen for me
Your meant to be at the soup kitchen not eating mud crab 👍🍻🍺
🍻
Shit happens
Yeah goes alright 👍 maybe drill four holes equally spaced with stainless clips
Drill holes in what? The plate?
Yeah mate! Nothing wrong with your logic circuits
🤙
Do the crocs ever destroy the pots to get at the bait.
All the time
I bét there would be a few mud geckos in there
💯
What about the crocodiles?
What about them mate?
@@SkidPig Surely they can be anywhere in the mangroves or water just waiting for a two legged meal? What about aniseed or garlic as a crab or fish attractant?
