Love your channel here in the Blue Ridge Mountains Of Western North Carolina! My little sister passed away in my arms from cancer at age 41 on January 5th and we loved watching your channel together it always made her pain alot better just to go to your underwater world! If you ever feel like what you do don't matter I'm here to tell you that to us it means everything! Thank you for everything!!
We were just up there and drove the blue ridge parkway. What a beautiful place. I’m so very sorry to hear that but messages like this keep me going. Means more than you know. 🙏🏻
I just moved back to Florida from Franklin and I lost my little brother a week before covid to cancer I am so sorry you had to go through that no one should
I'm sorry to hear about your sister. That's terrible. I grew up in Florida and then moved to Costa Rica for 9 years, then I had to move to Lenoir NC. It was... painful. But my mom needed me. Then my sister took over with Mom and I moved to VA near the Chesapeake Bay. I can catch saltwater fish again and it's legal to grow stinky little plants here. So here I am until FL gets it's head right and we can have our gardens there. Then I'll move back.
I went to Astronaut High School. Small world. Grands owned the condominium complex there. Dad was at KAFB. Yaught was mored between KW ,Marathon, and aunt owned flamingo key marina. Old storing grounds and dry tortogus IE* iganua island
Dude, this episode started really slow, but then you busted out Mr Clams, grabbed the nets and started the hilarious search for shrimp. Comedy gold. I'll watch you two, doing that, every week for 30 minutes! I mean, providing commentary with the flashlight in your mouth, hilarious! Coming up with, and naming, the shrimp capture method with the net, brilliant. But that wasn't all, you step it up another notch w/ the flat-top grille in the house and make shrimp fried rice that had more butter than I've ever seen. Definitely a top 5 video on your channel! Great work, entertaining AF!
The first attempt reminds me of the scene in Forest Gump where he catches a couple of shrimp and the old man says, if you get 5 more you’ll have enough for a shrimp cocktail.
Glad you figured it out. I was laughing last year when you did the video and commented on how we do it in Tampa. You may not have seen it because I know you get a lot of comments. We use headlamps that you can get fairly cheaply with multiple color changing lights. The lights temporarily blinds the shrimp and you can just slowly scoop under them without creating a cloudy mess in the water. By using this technique, I have scooped up as many as 20 shrimp in a small area before emptying my net. Also, I have found the larger shrimp tends to be located more on grass flats that we access from shore. We do some shrimping near the mangrove but it’s to hard with all the rocks and snags. Those areas we hit at extremely low tides so it pulls them out of the mangroves. Love both of your channels. Thanks for all your great videos.
Regards to your talking about learning new stuff. I’ve had a lifelong interest in natural history, and what I find very interesting is that I’m always learning new things. My most recent epiphany is that local changes in flora and fauna are constantly occurring. New species are moving into areas where they were absent, an some other species are becoming scarce. So I’m always on the look out for new stuff. Most recently in my area, Golden Eagles! Wow, they’ve been rare and absent in Eastern Ontario for a long time, and I was lucky enough to see one on a deer kill couple weeks ago. Also, big cats have been absent my entire life time. Well looks like they might be moving into this area also. I’ve been fortunate to really enjoy observing fish and animals, and the best part is , always learning things ! I’m sure there’s many changes happening in the Keys, and so much to learn.
The climate is changing and moving animals with it. And invasive species are getting a lot more common, especially in Florida and the southern states in general. I imagine you have some up there too but I've never been there. I live in Virginia near the Chesapeake Bay. The mixture of plants and trees is crazy. There are native trees from the north and south, plus Japanese maples in the same area with palms and banana plants. It's really strange for a Florida man. There are fig trees and cherries.
@@comfortablynumb9342 I’m only about 800 miles north from there. There’s been significant changes in the past 30. More dramatic if I go 200 miles south from where I am. Example Opossums are now in southern Ontario, which was always to far north for them to survive the winters. That’s just one example, and there’s lots. It’s not solely the local migrations of plants and animals, the conditions are changing so species can survive where they never could. Sure is interesting if you’re into this stuff.
Born and raised in central Florida. Been out in California last few years. Found this channel have watched every video and just bought my first house in Florida! Thank you for the videos.
I just spent 60$ for a lobster roll tonight from a local food truck. I would be in heaven to have unlimited seafood right out my back door like you have!
Great shrimp fried rice recipe. My grandmother was born in Cocoa-Rockledge in the 1880’s and moved to Miami after the great freeze of 1898. My best college buddy lives between Edgewater and Oak Hill on the water. I saw him throw a 12 ‘ cast net in the Halifax River and catch giant shrimp and lots of them. I watch Cooking With Clams and now your channel too.
I love everything you post the variety keeps me very interested your calm, friendly voice. You can tell you’re a nice person. I really appreciate watching everything you post and I always will. Thank you very much.
Two species of stone crabs exist in the Southeastern United States: Menippe mercenaria in the peninsula of Florida, and Menippe adina in the northern and western Gulf of Mexico. I’ve been recreational trapping stone crabs for 12 years out of South Biscayne bay near Turkey Point and only I’ve caught a handful of those darker ones usually too small to keep
I use pressure treated furring strips I make a a square leave the sides at bottom 11/2 longer than put a dowel between them with pvc pipe over dowel for a roller add netting and a long piece of wood across middle for a handle then I go on grass flats and push net across grass the roller flips them up into net I tie a wash tub to my belt loop for my catch works great
Cold fronts are coming soon. You should the traps near a channel where the tide runs out. We used to set up in a channel (upper keys) with a drift net and montes bright lights on the boat to attract them. Major haul every time.
When I was a kid, we used to sane minnows from the streams with a short net between two poles. about 4 foot wide and 4 foot tall, weights on the bottom and floats on the top. Two man team, each man has his own net and we walk toward each other. Minnows run with the current, down stream man catches upstream man chases. That might work with the shrimp, walk toward each other and one man chases them into the other mans net. Just a thought when you found the shrimp would run to you with your net in the water. Always love your videos, it always looks like a lot of fun.
Cool video. I learned that my dip net is sufficient, sprouts work in fried rice and that I want one of those griddle/hibachis. Oh...and you don't need an expensive green light, when you are on foot. Great job.
Love watching your videos. When we used to net for shrimp in northern Zululand, South Africa we would have a pole at each end with netting between the 2 poles. A person on each pole walks with the flat net in the water. Stop periodically and lift the net so that it is parallel with the water- shrimps sitting on top. Distance between poles about 2 to 3m of net. We used shade netting for the net between the poles. Even the fast shrimps got caught.
Not sure if someone else already mentioned seine nets, but my dad and I have used them in the past to catch shrimp for bait, and I feel like that could be your best bet for massive amounts of shrimp at once. It’s good to already know where they are and you and one other person just kind of walk them into the netting and wrap around them. I don’t know if there are specific laws against it where you are, but if not, it would probably make for some really good content and it’s always good fun walking around in the shallow water in the dark, as you know. Also, really enjoyed watching you trying something that you don’t do all the time. It’s nice to know you’re not just a superhuman in everything you do effortlessly, but you have put in years of practice and work to get where you are in all the other “waterman” disciplines. Looking forward to see how you get awesome at shrimping in the future too. Keep it up!
Such fun. Your videos are awesome!! I remember growing up on South Tropical Trail we used to go down to Mathers bridge and do a lot of dipping or on our dock and put traps along the seawall Thanks again for sharing
About 10 years ago I had a buddy take me shrimping in key largo under the bridges small ones with red and regular lights and remember their eyes light up. But there were shrimp everywhere down there back then
How we do it is a slow flat approach underhand style and usually from behind them and tickle them into a long handled smaller dip net. If they are facing us we do go over hand but with they same behind flat to the bottom tickle approach. Nice work learning it
Hey, just a suggestion… get a small wire framed net>>> I have a rectangular one that i put on a wooden dowel 8’.. works perfectly in that application > Went offshore up out of canaveral yesterday….a few mangroves a cobia. Came back early due to rain and 20 knot winds 3-5’
We go shrimping on the flats in Tampa bay with a custom trap tool, that you just slowly place over top of them it works like a charm everytime and they snap up into it…
Coming up on the cold fronts. I would try those traps near a channel where the current runs out. We used to set up a drift net in a channel (key largo) and mount bright lights on the boat to attract the shrimp.
The wing netters in Biscayne Bay crush the shrimp some nights. Some boats get 2000-3000 lbs on a good night up here this time of year. The channel south of Dodge Island and Rickenbacker Causeway are two of the best spots. Some nights you see millions of shrimp just boiling on the surface.
Great fun watching the new technique for shrimping. My mouth is watering. Blowing here in Tavernier so we going to Stock Island and Key West tomorrow to do some touristy things. Love the channel!
The shrimp will run like oak hill we had a small house there and the oak hill reds would run we always did it from a boat , and down here we always did it from a bridge and a lantern hanging from the top of the bridge good luck, and when we did do something like your doing we did on the grass flats
In Sarasota when I was younger we went out at night in my buddy's boat and we used a Q Beam type light to see shrimp and ballyhoo and we caught them with a dip net on a pool net pole. I also caught a ton in cast nets. Down there my record was 28 in a throw with a 4' net. Up here around the Chesapeake I broke my record and got 32 last Fall. But I've never tried traps. I like the idea for when the shrimp are thick. I'll have to try it up here. Cool video. You managed to come up with something totally different again. Awesome. You could probably catch shrimp behind your house in the canal. I would toss fish scraps and chum back there to attract them.
OK, Japanese cook here... another 2x eggs and you put the beaten eggs on top of the rice and mix into the rice and I suggest cooking diced/chopped bacon first then 3/4 cooked add onions and celery/sliced cook for 2-3 min NO BEAN SPROUTS! add rice and eggs on top mix and cook for 5 min then add shrimp, salt and pepper and Chinese 5 spice 1 tbsp mix all together cook for 5 -7 min then add sliced green onions mix and sesame oil and bingo! your golden.
You could make chum, toss it in the water and wait a little while and cast net a bazillion shrimp when they're common like that. It's pretty easy to mix up something they'll eat.
❤ Congratulations on making us ALL HUNGRY for shrimp fried rice. My husband got a griddle for his retirement and now he has to make fried rice on it. I'll eat all the shrimp, I'll take one for the team. He's allergic so really good for me. 😅
We have tried traps like those and the best baits we used to have luck on is cat food in cans poke a few holes drop a few in they love tht stuff hope you get more next time good luck!!!!
You’ll have better luck if you put your net in the water gently as you can and try to go behind and from underneath the shrimp and come up from the bottom and get him. Try not to splash the net down on the water to hard because as soon as they hear that they dart off or jump. If you’re gentle enough a lot of times they’ll swim right into your net. You still got the job done though! Edit: I was about halfway through the video when I commented that. As soon as I commented I saw that you figured out exactly what I was saying lol.
3 foot radius cast net. Thank me later. Youll be surprised how many others underneath the visible ones you wind up with. They will shoot up. If you have clearance in the mangroves for short tosses, youll do as well or better than the "up-scoop."
Haha. I was like # 777 my lucky number for my best TH-cam channel. I literally want the week to pass to Monday just to watch your video. Now that I’ve finished this video. Is it Monday again yet !
😂 great video boys! Love how you got smarter than the average shrimp and changed your tactics!! I started cracking up when you said I can't post this video now because it's the new method of netting shrimp! 😂. Keep it goin man. Hope to see you one day out on the grounds. ✌️headin out East next Winter.....
We called that style of shrimping "wade shrimping" in the Indian river around Eau Gallie causeway use two net the one you have and a smaller bait I guarantee your catch will improve ! Happy shrimping !
I live at MM27. We catch them anchored in heavy current flow, (near dock at Little Palm Island). Just hold net in water and let current wash shrimp into net.
The world's greatest thing ever in the history of the universe is left over fried rice in an omelet. When your lovely young wife asks you to put peas in the fried rice, put the peas in the rice. Thanks a lot for the video!
@@KeyWestWatermanAre you heading to the Kenai Peninsula? We live off grid in Tutka Bay, near Homer, lots of halibut and salmon fishing as well as crabbing (October, November). We use traps for big spot shrimp in about 500’ deep water in Prince William Sound in spring,summer. See you around👍.
I thought you were better off buying shrimp at a bait shop than catching them one at a time ! 😅 DMFD uses Kerry garlic butter for many of his dish recipe's. I have looked for it in many stores up where I live in Illinois, but it is nowhere to be found ! Now you have shown me how to make it myself ... Thanks Aaron ! 🥰
Do it bro, never go outta the way to film!!! Maybe you don’t know the impact, fantasy or want for folks to have your videos to escape to from everyday life. Mondays suck unless you have KWWM!!! Same goes for Will! As they say rat race is going strong even for y’all but the enjoyment, of my wife dancing around with a fork, sampling a recipe you 3 provided is what matters!! Madeline, your the excitement between those 2 get to work fellers!!! Girl your out there to grinding away, making the dream happen as best as you can!!! Team work makes the dream work!!! Love this family!!!
One night I was coming down the keys when I got to the bend at the east end of big pine there were a couple guys shrimping with a huge spotlight I could see hundreds of shrimp they had like a 4x4 minnow net pulling it up through the shrimp that were on top from the light
There was an old man the stayed at Big Pine Key Fishing Lodge that would go out at night in his little boat put a light in the water anchor up under the bridge and dip out out a bucket full most of the time.

Yes, great videos, they heal the soul. Cancer is awful, battling cancer here too, prayers.
How much fun can two grown men have with a shrimp net?! Life’s simple pleasures. Love it!
My 2 boys (ages 5 & 7) have been sick with a cold this week & they have requested to watch this video at least 20 times. We love your videos!
Hope they are feeling better, Love to hear they enjoy the videos! 🙏🏻
Best type of fishing content on The Tube...just two friends wading goop, with inexpensive gear and having as much fun as a pair of ten year olds.
Shrimp are running pretty good right now in Titusville. 👍🏼👍🏼
Love how you keep it genuine, real, and no over the top hype. As a midwestern, watching your channel is going on vacation! Thanks!
I just started watching your video. They’re always great so I’m giving you a thumbs up right now I’m gonna watch the rest.
really love to hear that!

haha best movie ever made
One of my earliest memories is out shrimping by the rail road bridge in the indian river
the good ole days!
Keep living the dream Aaron. excited for may, need to see some big black grouper stoned.
I’m tryin!
Glad you figured it out. I was laughing last year when you did the video and commented on how we do it in Tampa. You may not have seen it because I know you get a lot of comments.

So I’m always on the look out for new stuff. Most recently in my area, Golden Eagles! Wow, they’ve been rare and absent in Eastern Ontario for a long time, and I was lucky enough to see one on a deer kill couple weeks ago.

Interesting. I grew up in Florida and didn't know there were 2 species.
This one made me laugh!! Nice to see everyone having a good time. The Fried Rice looked good too!!
😂 I love how she hovers with the fork in her hand ❤
I use pressure treated furring strips I make a a square leave the sides at bottom 11/2 longer than put a dowel between them with pvc pipe over dowel for a roller add netting and a long piece of wood across middle for a handle then I go on grass flats and push net across grass the roller flips them up into net I tie a wash tub to my belt loop for my catch works great
I need a husband like you, one who knows his way around the kitchen! Mine can barely boil water! Looks yummy!
🤣
Holy cow I literally just finished typing and hit send and it’s already passed 800. Now that’s awesome. Keep up the awesome work brotha.

I think this has to be the best thing I've seen you cook. I'm trying this recipe
Looked like you & Will had a ton of fun. And man that rice looked great!!
It's never too late to drive to T-ville with a light and long handled net and scoop a few from the pier!!😎
haha right!
That was lots of fun thanks so much....lotsa laughs!!!!!!
You figured out the technique. That’s cool!!!
Don’t be so hard on yourself. That’s a hell of a lot more shrimp than I’ve ever caught here in Arizona. 😂 I’m impressed!!! Love your channel.

2 five gallon nights that took just over an hour
Damn! Crushing!
How we do it is a slow flat approach underhand style and usually from behind them and tickle them into a long handled smaller dip net. If they are facing us we do go over hand but with they same behind flat to the bottom tickle approach. Nice work learning it

We have trash pandas up here in Canada too. Whenever I clean fish outside they come by and clean up at night.
Good stuff man. We call my wife swiper at our house. She pulls the Maddy move all the time.
haha too funny!
Hey, just a suggestion… get a small wire framed net>>> I have a rectangular one that i put on a wooden dowel 8’.. works perfectly in that application > Went offshore up out of canaveral yesterday….a few mangroves a cobia. Came back early due to rain and 20 knot winds 3-5’

My family got me a 'steelmade' griddle that goes right over your stove. Its awesome lots of room.
Great Vid! Noticed you had a Barrel of Monks Brewery shirt on while cooking. Best brewery in all of Florida! Keep up the great content!!!
Awesome episode guys! More shrimpin in the future please!
will do!
Well, this was a lot of fun and I didn’t even have to get wet. Thanks for the video, Aaron.
Rice looked Awesome Aaron!
The shrimp will run like oak hill we had a small house there and the oak hill reds would run we always did it from a boat , and down here we always did it from a bridge and a lantern hanging from the top of the bridge good luck, and when we did do something like your doing we did on the grass flats

Nice catch. That's how we catch the prawns/shrimp here just push the net slowly forward then up.
Very nice. Up near Tampa you wait for them to move out of the bay though the pass. Thanks
I hear its good up there!
Hi you give us some jokes in this video… love it… you’re funny when you’re ready… 😂😂😊
Keep up with good work… Stay blessed….. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👌🏽
In the 90's, use to catch them by cast net by the buckets off the Coast Guard pier by Ft Zachery.....(Guess now the cruise pier)
interesting! will have to check that out!
We have tried traps like those and the best baits we used to have luck on is cat food in cans poke a few holes drop a few in they love tht stuff hope you get more next time good luck!!!!
will give it a try thank you!
That was hilarious man. You’re funny in your retirement days
You’ll have better luck if you put your net in the water gently as you can and try to go behind and from underneath the shrimp and come up from the bottom and get him. Try not to splash the net down on the water to hard because as soon as they hear that they dart off or jump. If you’re gentle enough a lot of times they’ll swim right into your net. You still got the job done though!
Edit: I was about halfway through the video when I commented that. As soon as I commented I saw that you figured out exactly what I was saying lol.
Very cool I grew up in Titusville!!
Sorry I’m Late! We went WAY out today. 🐟🐟🐟
That looked like a whole lot of fun shrimpin’ and the end result looked delicious!
3 foot radius cast net. Thank me later. Youll be surprised how many others underneath the visible ones you wind up with. They will shoot up.
If you have clearance in the mangroves for short tosses, youll do as well or better than the "up-scoop."
Haha. I was like # 777 my lucky number for my best TH-cam channel. I literally want the week to pass to Monday just to watch your video.
Now that I’ve finished this video. Is it Monday again yet !
We dip them in key largo with the tide. Set up on the thru canal with the tide and lights
😂 great video boys! Love how you got smarter than the average shrimp and changed your tactics!! I started cracking up when you said I can't post this video now because it's the new method of netting shrimp! 😂. Keep it goin man. Hope to see you one day out on the grounds. ✌️headin out East next Winter.....
This video inspires me to do some dip netting...
TNX 4 VID LOL
😊
Love this type of content please do more It looks really good.
We called that style of shrimping "wade shrimping" in the Indian river around Eau Gallie causeway use two net the one you have and a smaller bait I guarantee your catch will improve ! Happy shrimping !
Bait net
I live at MM27. We catch them anchored in heavy current flow, (near dock at Little Palm Island). Just hold net in water and let current wash shrimp into net.
The world's greatest thing ever in the history of the universe is left over fried rice in an omelet. When your lovely young wife asks you to put peas in the fried rice, put the peas in the rice. Thanks a lot for the video!
I've made a career out of shrimping with pots in Alaska for 30 yrs it works when you dial it in
That’s awesome. Heading up that way in July hopefully can get some shrimping in!
@@KeyWestWaterman I'm in the south east panhandle shrimp and crab are everywhere here.
@@KeyWestWatermanAre you heading to the Kenai Peninsula? We live off grid in Tutka Bay, near Homer, lots of halibut and salmon fishing as well as crabbing (October, November). We use traps for big spot shrimp in about 500’ deep water in Prince William Sound in spring,summer. See you around👍.
I loved the end…why is everyone standing so close? Hahaha🤣
You seriously flung a fried rice cravin’ on me!
Chef Aaron, Madeline knows he's a keeper 😂
I thought you were better off buying shrimp at a bait shop than catching them one at a time ! 😅 DMFD uses Kerry garlic butter for many of his dish recipe's. I have looked for it in many stores up where I live in Illinois, but it is nowhere to be found ! Now you have shown me how to make it myself ... Thanks Aaron ! 🥰
Do it bro, never go outta the way to film!!! Maybe you don’t know the impact, fantasy or want for folks to have your videos to escape to from everyday life. Mondays suck unless you have KWWM!!! Same goes for Will! As they say rat race is going strong even for y’all but the enjoyment, of my wife dancing around with a fork, sampling a recipe you 3 provided is what matters!! Madeline, your the excitement between those 2 get to work fellers!!! Girl your out there to grinding away, making the dream happen as best as you can!!! Team work makes the dream work!!! Love this family!!!
One night I was coming down the keys when I got to the bend at the east end of big pine there were a couple guys shrimping with a huge spotlight I could see hundreds of shrimp they had like a 4x4 minnow net pulling it up through the shrimp that were on top from the light
Another banger as usual ! Shout out to you brother from here in Miami !
There was an old man the stayed at Big Pine Key Fishing Lodge that would go out at night in his little boat put a light in the water anchor up under the bridge and dip out out a bucket full most of the time.
Well maybe I’ll give it a go!
Have an interview this week for a job in key west. It would be great to do something like this when I get there!!!
GREAT Video again and LOVE from Crabby Daddy here in Southern Maryland
