What this video covers

The crew of KALLI targets barramundi and mud crabs in the Wyndham River, Australia, using a combination of trolling and baited pot sets.0:27 To catch barramundi, the crew trolls lures over mudflats, successfully landing several fish measuring between 60 and 71 centimeters. They use a brag mat to verify lengths and confirm the catch of smaller bycatch, including cod and jewfish.12:35 For the mud crab mission, the crew deploys 10 pots in a promising branch-lined area, allowing them to soak for approximately 40 minutes before retrieval.2:24 They measure each crab against a standard gauge, keeping only those that meet the 120-millimeter or 150-millimeter size requirements, depending on the specific local regulations.15:50 The day concludes with a meal of the harvested mud crabs.23:53 Success in these waters relies on persistent monitoring of pot locations and precise lure placement during trolling to overcome slow bite periods.
