Rebel Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Welcome aboard. Can't help you with the Yabbies. Ourimbah creek at the moment is a disaster. I fished there about two weeks ago & the fish were not very healthy or happy. Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest that if you are using them for Trout bait fishing (assumption) you probably need freshwater shrimps, not Yabbies. Yabbies grow up to about 15 cms long whereas freshwater shrimp grow to about 5 cms long. How to catch them. Freshwater shrimps can be caught in rectangular shrimp nets (available from fishing shops and big stores). They have a small pocket for the "bait". The best stuff to put in there is a bar of soap. You will catch plenty if you can locate a bit of a weed bed. Freshwater Yabbies are caught in a net like a crab net. The bait is kidney or heart tied (in the bait holder) to the bottom of the net. Check DPI fishing regulations for how many nets you can use and bag limits per person. Best way to fish them. A paternoster rig with a size12 hook, pin the shrimps through the tail so they can still move. A better bait for Trout is earthworms. Hope this helps. Any questions, get back to me. Good luck, bn 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
