Mudcrab Catch and Cook Northern Territory
My mission over the next few days is to use crab pots to catch some Gulf Mudcrabs, then bring them back home to cook. And although this is a Mudcrab catch and cook episode, we're also going to find some time for fishing as well.
It's scientific name is Scylla Serrata... But they are more commonly known as the Giant Mudcrab.
And here in the Gulf of Carpentaria mudcrabs find ideal conditions for living, feeding and breeding.

Join me (Mikey Cunningham) and my mate (Ash Garner) as we take you on an epic two-night adventure in the Gulf of Carpentaria! We kick things off on Ash’s houseboat. During the stunning sunset we record a podcast on the front deck, then reel in some serious Barramundi that night. On night two, we up the game by relaxing at Wiyibi Fishing and Wilderness Lodge. With plenty of fun, and some good ba...

King Ash Bay Fishing Competition
Переглядів 30 тис.2 місяці тому
It's been a rough start to the year at King Ash Bay Fishing Club. Not one, but two cyclones earlier in the year left massive damage from the flooding. But the club has bounced back really well, with things getting back to normal fairly quickly. The club held the first fishing competition of the year in May, which I arrived back for, just in time. It's a Barramundi fishing competition, so I head...
Gulf Mud Crabbers: Boom or Bust
Переглядів 59 тис.3 місяці тому
The Mad Mullet. He is a Gulf Mud Crabber, and he loves life. But when two cyclones (Lincoln & Megan) came charging through, the aftermath threatened Mullet's livelyhood. Along with some of the other Gulf Mud Crabbers, there was a worry that with such MAJOR flooding of the McArthur River, the mud crabs might not come back in this season. So I hopped on board with The Mad Mullet on his crabbing b...

Turtle Trouble while Browsing for Barramundi
Переглядів 24 тис.7 місяців тому
Fishing for big Barramundi was the plan. And along the way we discovered a big, stranded turtle. I'm almost certain this is a Green Turtle. Which is actually listed as an endangered species. But lucky for us, they are really common around here to see here swimming at high tide on the mud flats. This one maybe got it's timing wrong as the tide went out this morning. Or might just be taking a bre...

Andy is keen lol up the boys ..whose this sad guy packing it in early on a boys sesh? Weak
I love the Videos and watching your channel but for christ sake, stop stealing your Dads boats. Let the poor bugger have his fun.
Come on Mikey, don't be a chicken shit, Mullet taught you to tie the crabs..
Congrats mate 2️⃣6️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ subs🤩🎣🐟👍🤙👌
Great vlog Mikey, it was obvious there was a lot of time and hard work to stich this ep together, thx for sharing. It's always great to get home hey? Well done too Ash for wrestling the muddies for MC. Cheers🍻🦀🐊🎣 PS: Loving the GFTG poddies too....
It’s such a mind game this bloody UA-cam thing… the last 2 videos I’ve uploaded I put soooo much effort into. And they are my worst performing videos this year. It’s all good though. Just means I need to work harder. 💪🏼👍🏼🤠
@@MikeyCunninghamFishingYou can never tell hey Mikey?? As long as you still enjoying making them that's all that matters, and i think that is the case as it comes through the Vlogs buddy. As you rightly pointed out, it's costly though. Don't forget to throw in your prep time for a trip, and snippets of your travel to and from King Ash. Even mods on your trailer/boat, around town back in Darwin etc etc. I follow ATC, and I love all his added extras he throws in. Keep pushing mate. 🍻
Great vlog mate, crabs looked tasty 👍🏼🍽️
New Boat Mikey? Gotta love a renegade
cheers mikey!
On ya Mikey Yewwww
Another beauty Mikey. To paraphrase Andy, keep 'em comin' along. Yeah bastard fish spikes. Had an infected thumb from a black spot tusky spike in WA. Soaked it a few times in hot water and dettol, as hot as you can stand it (which ends up near boiling) and got an eighth inch long spike out from beside my thumb nail, eleven days later back in FNQ. Cleared up in 48 hours then.
Another great episode miss getting big muddies from Arnhem land or broome areas
Sounds like a perfect opportunity for some local companies to get behind you brus! 👍 #AirnorthAU @AirnorthAU #airnorthau Don't know if the owner is eccentric but surely you could work something out and hitch a ride every now and again? 👌When Mikey chooses to fly he flys with Airnorth. 🤣
I like what you’re saying mate. Flying in and out of the McArthur River mine every now and then would be a dream. 👍🏼
Its wonderful and a bugger when the kids like the mud crabs.... you should teach them to use the tip of the leg to help pull the rest of the meat of the legs....
Love watching the vids. Keep them coming Mud crab are a favourite. What the dimensions of those pots. Though they were just for the pro's I've got round type, are these legal up there. Or the square ones better. Cheerz bloke 🍺
Proper cold is what I see every year around here. It's warm there, compared to here.
Greetings from the BIG SKY of Montana. Your sunrise is my sunset.
Mate anything stab that hits a joint or bone. Get treated. You need the thumb for fishing and baiting 🤣
Good on ya brother 👍🏻
Bucket list is a Barramundi fishing trip. I'll trade a Tarpon trip for a Barramundi trip. Very expensive Air fair and a bit of jet lag is all it takes!
Great work with it all, it’s a breath of fresh air with no Hollywood acting just raw footage and normal talk. Keep it up
My biggest aim when I’m making my videos is to just be myself. Thanks for watching mate. 👍🏼
Mate, you just keep putting up real stuff!
We love watching you and the king ash crew. But I have a question, do you get sea sick driving the boat yourself or just being a passenger?
Classic MIKEY that bit with the kids so cool
Next run of merch needs a codfather shirt - cod with the lip ‘jewellery’ grippers
Awesome session bloke 😂😂😂😂😂
Just got my Mullet 24 hour shirt couldn't be happier great watching all you guy's hope to get up ther one more time. Keep up the great work on all on all platforms love your work.Go NT PS What drone do you use TIA
Choice bro.
Goldspot cod, better eating than trout just not as easy to fillet lol
Cheers
Hey Mikey I have fished the Macarther River from a houseboat years ago. We want to do it again can you recommend a company please. Cheers
There is only one mate. They are based at King Ash Bay but they are called “Borroloola Houseboats”. There used to be another company, but Borroloola Houseboats bought both of their boats. You can find them on Facebook, they have a website too I reckon. If you contact them, you’ll speak to Kylie, Scotty or Damo… I can highly recommend. 👍🏼
@@MikeyCunninghamFishing cheers mate. I might see you on the water next year
Great video mate
more mud crab catch n cooks :) lovee em..
The kids have u sorted out Mikey 😂, little legends
Yea they are definitely a handful. But love them so much. Always miss them heaps while I’m down in the Gulf.
Mikey, you hang out with the all time Territory Mud Crabbers in King Ash, Mad Mullet and the likes and why have they not taught you to grab crab and tie them off cuzzy Bro ? 🤪 I'm pissing myself laughing Legend, in a way not taking the piss from you. Bloody things get angry buy hey.
Haha. Yea mate. It’s a bit of a running joke that I have purposely neglected from learning how to tie crabs. It’s the worst part of their job. Sitting there for an hour or 2 after work sitting there tying crabs. Wrecking your back. So if I knew how to tie… I would be obligated to jump in and help. Haha. I’ve told Ash I will learn in 2025 if it’s a good crabbing season.
@@MikeyCunninghamFishing haha on ya legend.
Good stuff, maybe drop in one day and say howdy 👍👍
Ya never know mate … where you at?
Thanks 👍
😊😊
Loving the vids mate. On a serious note don’t ever think you have to give up time with the family mate. Filming and editing is time consuming but we understand if you need a break every now and again. Family’s number 1 mate
I completely agree mate. Whole heartedly… but I’ve put myself into a position where my wife and I have invested everything into this UA-cam channel, and if I don’t consistently upload UA-cam videos, I don’t get paid. And the videos I make that get all the views are down in the gulf. So for the time being, I need to sacrifice a bit of family time. But I definitely make up for it when I’m home. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
your the man mikey!! love ya content mate, keep me comin!!
Hello from SE Florida....love the vids, Thanks!
Good to hear from you mate. One of my favourite comedians is from Florida. Cam Patterson. 👍🏼 Also I’m a massive LeBron fan. So his time with Miami in the “big 3” era with Wade and Bosh was epic. 🇺🇸👍🏼
I felt that cod spine when it got you it brings back memories for me lol.
I’m so big, I always make the fish I catch look way smaller than what they actually are. This bloody cod was like holding a bag of cement powder. And it’s full weight coming down on my thumb like that… crikey it hurt. I didn’t notice it too much at the time… but looking back at the footage afterwards I could see when I was “testing” and squeezing the crabs, I couldn’t use my thumb. Haha. Too excited in the moment to worry about the pain.
Awesome mate 👌🇦🇺
Cool ep and nice crabs
Thanks mate.
Making me jealous with those muddies ya barstad.

I don’t do charters or anything like that. But if you ever find yourself at King Ash Bay, we won’t be far away mate. Come say Gday and have a beer. 🍻 👍🏼
Great vid mate. You did a great job putting that together. The battered Barra made me hungry at 11:30pm 😮😂 will search for your podcast! Good on ya!
Honestly put so much time and effort into to this video… but one of my worst performing videos from the last couple of years. Bloody algorithm. Should take into account time and effort. Hahah. 🤠👍🏼
@@MikeyCunninghamFishing That is a kick in the teeth & really surprises me. I enjoyed & appreciated the way you put that one together. Not always easy to tell a story. It may get picked up down the track. 🍻👍
Great session there fellas, great part of the country too, cracking vid too Mikey 👍🏼👌🏼
Thanks mate. 👍🏼🤠
Mate info was awesome heading up there soon thanks Mikey
You’ll love it mate.
