​​@@bs1820those traps are.... don't mess with other people things...

​@@bs1820it's literally illegal to interfere with other people's traps, not just frowned upon. Fines and possible jail time for repeat offenders (that's how it's supposed to work anyway).

Trail cam video would be awesome

Get over here bro experince this u have to

I hear Ireland has giant pike.

Man we have the most amazing wildlife at home and fishing ❤

You guys have wildlife. Just head to the nearest Pub…😉

Good on ya cheeky leprechaun

Yeah good thinking champ, not only would they steal your crabs they'd take your trail cams as well

@Antipodean33 only if your an idiot when you set up your trail cam! "Champ"

Yeah grubs like that would love a free trail cam. Depending on the area it may also not be legal to place a surveillance device.

@@Antipodean33you don’t have to put the sign up saying you’re on cctv 🙄

@@sirmonkeyboy1789if it’s legal to steal crabs it’s legal to catch the fuc£ers stealing them 🤷‍♂️

Came here to say the same thing 😅 I'm getting used to beer-o-clock with Rokkit on Friday

Aussie Aussie Aussie oi oi oi love your content mate!!

Its always beer time here in USA CST 🇺🇸🍻✌🏻

It’s a shame how there are people in the world who just aren’t worth a crap, unfortunately it’s the world we live in. On the bright side we have good people like you, all we can do is pray our paths only cross with good people

Probably a veegan

It can be narrowed down to lack of respect. When someone has self respect and respect for others they leave other people's stuff alone. Out of respect!

yep ill have to get better at checking them and figure out a run that isnt upseting others i guess. Definitly keen to start getting the traps in more though👍

Ps Chicken Carcases are by far the best bait. They out do everything. The butchers sell them up here for crab bait.@@rokkitkit

Cracker flatty rod !! " Were am I gonna put him,didn't think of that"😂😂 You make me laugh some times.

I've been crabbing in NSW for a while now. Been pretty successful and avoided A lot of crab pot thieves. 1. Try to crab in areas where boats cannot enter whereas kayaks and SUPs can. Best thing you can do. 2. Cable tie your pots 3. I use chicken wire metal cages to keep bait inside to avoid pickers ( if it's a crab the cage will be crushed). 4. Hide your floats well. 5. I never leave my my pots above the low tide mark, you're missing out on half the tides. 6. Stay close to the pots. I usually check every hour, rotate and move. Keep baits fresh, flattie heads are amazing bait. Good luck!

thats really sad, some people will do anything to avoid work

Definitely

Yea, I can't imagine that trap snapped on its own... but will try agin soon👍

Put some water snakes in the pots as 'man bait' !

jet skies?

Yeah, spiky fish and inflatable boards don’t mix well 😂

The Poachers have collection sorted, just require rod to rebait.

yea that was my mistake on how low the tide would get, i was actully trying to time it so no one could check them in the morning, but they must do it at night... ill defiunitly not have them out of the water again👍

​@@rokkitkitthe first pot that had the entrance wide open was likely snipped by a birds beak. They go around destroying pots that are exposed at low tide to get to the bait.

Yep I’ve seen sea eagles destroy pots in seconds for an easy feed👍

I do remember that just before covid the police and fisheries caught 2 guys raiding traps at chinderah, following a tip. That is only a couple of kms upstream from here. The judge handed out $10k fine and confiscated boat. Should be more of it

How do you mark them with gps?

Definitely going to get some crabs soon though😅 I’m due

my thoughts exactly...had a feeling whoever put the other pots in the middle of the creek prolly did something to rods pots.Some locals can be territorial.

Me too

Yeah, I thought the same. The thieves or an informer live in those houses overlooking the creek. Maybe they have cams on the area 24/7. So if you put a trail cam near your pots (not easy to do in a swamy mangrove), you lose your crabs, get your crab pot knifed up AND lose your trail cam. !!

😂
