We'd fill a 20L bucket with them and take them back to the homestead where my grandma had a HUGE pot of salted water boiling in wait for our return. 2 mins in there, served with some lemon juice... MAGICK.<br />That was 27 years ago, when private property owners didn't mind you going thru their fences and yabbying in their dams.<br />These days, you'd probably get shot......<br />JenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537734033723164207.post-82182877357558112342009-04-15T12:55:00.000+10:002009-04-15T12:55:00.000+10:00Oh I remember yabbying!

We also tried the OT dam, a 2.6km walk down Arthur Seat, where we caught a whole 4 of the little bastards! (which we obvioulsy threw back). <br /><br />Going to try the dam off Boundary Rd, where we got a goodly haul last year. <br /><br />Either that or cultivate them in the bath!!purple goddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05205284829507903435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537734033723164207.post-13374852089550572152009-04-14T11:00:00.000+10:002009-04-14T11:00:00.000+10:00That's why it's called "fishing" rather than "catc...That's why it's called "fishing" rather than "catching"!<br /><br />Where was that dam, BTW? (Generally, not exact) I have found over the years that as a rule you get more yabbies from dams with sheep in the surrounding paddocks than those with cattle. OTOH, if the yabbies don't like a prticular dam, it matters not a fig what's around or what you do, the little beggars just up sticks and go somewhere else.<br /><br />BTW, Furry does have a fishing licence, doesn't he?
