Sheep Farmer Matt Loves a Cheeky Yabby Session

Meet Matt, a hardworking sheep farmer from Taralga in the Central Tablelands of NSW. Managing a 280-acre farm, Matt runs a successful sheep operation that keeps him busy from sunup to sundown. But no matter how hectic farm life gets, Matt always finds time for one of his favorite pastimes—catching yabbies.

For Matt, there’s nothing like a break by the dam, tossing in a yabby trap and seeing what he can haul in for the day. A born and bred Aussie, he has a deep love for the outdoors, and catching yabbies is a part of that lifestyle. Whether he’s out there solo or sharing the moment with his kids, any chance Matt gets, he sneaks away for a quick yabby session.

Recently, Matt started using the Pentagon Pyramid Yabby Trap (Doug) from BCK Outdoors, and he hasn’t looked back since. For someone who juggles the demands of farming, family, and the occasional cheeky yabby catch, the trap has been a real game-changer.

The thing Matt loves most about the yabby trap? How it folds away super easy. Farming life requires practical tools that don’t take up too much space, and this trap is exactly that. When packed down, it’s small and compact, allowing Matt to save valuable storage in his shed. In fact, Matt’s figured out a clever way to hang a couple of traps on the wall, ready to go whenever the mood strikes.

But the Pentagon Pyramid Yabby Trap isn’t just convenient for storage—it’s also perfect for those spontaneous trips down to the dam. Matt always keeps at least one trap in his farm ute, sometimes two, just in case he feels the urge to set up and catch a quick feed of yabbies.

“The fish tunnels on this thing are brilliant,” Matt says. “I’m catching more yabbies now than I ever have before.” For someone who prides himself on bringing in a good haul, that’s high praise. And for a farmer who works hard, there’s nothing more satisfying than cooking up some fresh yabbies over a fire, especially when he knows he caught them with his trusty trap.

Life on the farm can be exhausting, but there’s always time for a good yabby catch. Whether he’s pulling long days with his sheep or sharing stories with his kids around a campfire, Matt loves the simple pleasures that come with rural living. The Pentagon Pyramid Yabby Trap by BCK Outdoors makes it even easier for him to squeeze in those moments of joy, with a design that’s easy to set up, pack up, and travel with.

For Matt, and many other Aussie farmers, yabbies aren’t just a delicious meal—they’re a connection to the land and a reminder of the little things that make life special. And with the right yabby trap in hand, every outing becomes just a little more rewarding.

So, whether you’re a hard-working farmer like Matt or just someone who loves a good outdoor feed, the Pentagon Pyramid Yabby Trap is your go-to tool for the job. Compact, convenient, and highly effective—it’s time to catch more yabbies and enjoy the best of what the Aussie outdoors has to offer.
