Moved the nets a couple hundred yards further up the channel and will pull them tonight, might even reset them and pull in the morning if there is enough bait left [emoji106]

I like them straight out of the water while they are hot, nothing else added, but then I like them with salt n pepper, with mayo, with butter, in a sanga, with seafood sauce, with tartare sauce......................I think you might get the idea I like them no matter what way. :thumbsup:
I did try a bit of an experiment this time and added some liquid smoke to half of the cook up, a very nice smokey flavour resulted. :thumbsup:

Yeah, been catching yabbies nearly all my life, I would hate to think how many hundreds of kg I have scoffed over that time. I think a salty water bath is definitely needed to clean them out. :thumbsup:

Put the nets in again last night, the channel I am taxing is being filled so hopefully I will get a few more this week cause they seem to move around more when water is rising, kind of like fishing the rising tide, outback style. Picking up the little fella to take him out again. :thumbsup:

Got back in half an hour ago, not too many today, around 40, enough for a good feed, nets reset and will check them again tonight. Mrs is heading over to see her folk in a couple of days, I better send over a few dozen to keep me in the good books and hopefully in their wills. ;)

Up before daylight to pull traps out, back home to cook them up so missus could take them down to her family on the coast, hope they send me back the same weight in king prawns [emoji106]. Fresh bait did wonders

the best bait by far we found when I was a young fella was fresh duck guts...eg we shot ducks plucked and gutted them down at creek and the koura would go nuts over the fresh guts in creek....the bloodier the better to bring them out.man its been far too many years since Ive tucked into a feed of them.

I have used the odd duck at times when not being able to get roo meat, I cut them up whole and put a quarter in each net, they go ape shit over it. Fresh shot roo is much easier to get hold of, and if desperate I have been know to cut up road killed roos.

Awesome bro! I just caught a feed of yabbies my self for a feed! Have you tried the trick whee you put out the middle fin on the tail and it removes the poo tube ? I made a video on yabbies :XD:

Yeah, do that trick with the shit shute when just taking tails and claws, I don't like doing that much as you lose a lot of flavour by not cooking the head with the rest of them, and the tail meat also tends to try out. Its good for when you have a big catch of several hundred and want to cook them in a stew type feed. I'll watch your video later. :thumbsup:
