that stuff is not for me !! some of my brown brothers eat it and says it is good but then he also eats kinas that have been sitting in the sun for a week and says they are good to so il pass

Used to go down to the creek at the local park in Te Puke as a kid and used to get heaps of them and always had a big cook up of them the next morning use dot be heaps of fun and as other have shared also got nailed by a few of them, one kid I used to watch would go down with a net and just flick them into the net with his finger.

I have had Aussie yabbies for dinner while I was in the outback on wheat harvest in 2012 we had a laundry sink full and only took us two days to eat them and kept going back for more .....jeeze my mouth waters just typing about it

Have been invited to go whitebaiting with a friend thsi season...am really looking forward to getting the net out again and trying my luck! Roll on Friday...!!! which will not mean much as there is work!!

The only one caught so put him back...a bird cannot fly on one wing!!!!

No need to pass around like that Maca. A good sized bit of T tree bush will do the same thing.
