I've done it again folks! I have hit the yabbying jackpot, but not without the help from my friend Brad who sourced permission for me to go yabbing on this property. To find this dam has made me super happy. The yabbies in this video are not as big, or as prolific as my last yabbying jackpot video, nor as they as plentiful.
This time of the year it is much harder to catch yabbies as they really are a hot weather crustacean. Although it has been a very hot start to autumn for us here in North East Victoria, the nights have been getting longer and the overall temperature of everything has dropped, including the water which has led to the yabbies slowing right down and being harder and harder to catch.
So ti find a dam with a health number of yabbies in it at this time of the year is amazing, I consider this to be a jackpot yabby dam for me and I am looking super forward to yabbying in this dam next spring and summer, as the water is warming up.
This dam was only dug out back in December, Itgwas almost dry so the farmer came in with some heavy machinery and opened it right up. Considering this was only a couple of months ago, and there are yabbies in it now, I think this shows just how resilient yabbies really are.
