Red Claw Yabby

Red Claw Yabby can be caught in Cape York.



It is a yummy yabby that makes very nice salads and sandwiches.  





As opposed to the salt water mud crabs, it lives in freshwater creeks. It is found in many creeks in Cape York and is popular to catch (try Coen River).

Yabby nets can be bought in any camping and fishing shops, and the best bait to use is fish or chicken, good if a bit off as they like rotten meat.

When we buy BBQ chickens, we always use the leftovers when yabbying or mud crabbing.

Remember that bag limits apply when yabbying.
