- In this video we set 8 Blue Crab Traps [ Pots ] in the St. Johns River using various types of bait, just before a winter storm. We'll be setting the crab traps, pulling them, cleaning the Blue Crabs and making a small crab boil for two. Catch and Cook
I recently found your channel! I’m in Jacksonville and I’ve always wanted to go out on a boat in the St. John’s. My husband and I crab in Trout River. Love your videos so much ❤️❤️
You're in a good area for crabbing, we pulled our traps today (cold in the morning) and caught around 30 crabs it's starting to pick up. Thanks for Watching and good luck with your crabbing.
I know how to go crabbin...then I have a cup of coffee. no more crabbin. great size on the blues here, nice video and thank you🎉
Thanks a lot for Watching
Good haul of crabs especially considering the weather. My husband said oh we get to watch Miss Joyce cook today. He likes her style of cooking. Great video and looking forward to more. Stay warm.
Thanks a lot we appreciate you watching
I hope to someday find peace with this world and only dream of sharing my days with an amazing partner. Your both showing the world what it looks like to have live life and conquer it. God speed.
I'm sure you will, and Thanks for Watching our videos
Always enjoy your videos. Your audio was much better today. Thanks for braving the cold and sharing.
And Thank you for Watching, I'll check on that audio.
Very nice job on catching those crabs. Great job on cooking them as well. For it to be cold the crabs were running good. Can't wait to your next video.
Thanks a lot. You'll see in the next video your right they stopped running in two days. Thanks again for Watching
Even though most of your videos are crabbing thy are exciting
Thanks, we want to do more fishing but every time we are able to go offshore it's blowing and rough. Thanks a lot for Watching
Hey Sam and Mrs Joyce, it would be great if you could maybe make a video on how you guys pick a crab or two. I would be grateful.
We have a similar video called, Blue Crab Meat, No More Shells check it out Thanks a lot for Watching Kenny
Recently found your channel. Love watching you and Joyce load up on crabs. Allargic t o shellfish, but that's😊 my issue.
We're glad you found us and Thanks a lot for Watching our videos
Wow yum yum. Mrs Joyce yiu can bake them in the shell using crab cake recipe but just bake them
Watching you guys catching beautiful crabs and cooking them sure makes me hungry. When you cast for shrimp and get a nice mess for dinner. Well I want to be thereafter and in on the fun. I use to go crabing a lot every year till life tragedy took my walking ability. So very nice to see a couple who love doing the same thing together. Thank you n God Bless
NJ oh my home sewer state now. No way the garden state I grew up in 60 yrs ago. Getting out soon we hope.
We're glad you enjoy our videos, it makes us feel good. Thanks a lot for Watching
We know what you mean we're from N.J. and it's not the same.
Wow!
Nice.. 👀
Thx for the amazing vids..
Thanks, We're glad you enjoy our videos.
I live in winter haven and 25 years ago from Maryland. J.O. spice for crabs is what makes a crab a crab. It's from Maryland and can not be beat. Try it
We've been meaning to try it Terry. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
That's funny because I live in New Jersey. Our weather is so crazy but I love crabbing as well
We were both born in Atlantic City, lived there for 35 years and did a lot of fishing and crabbing. Some years I didn't think winter would ever end LOL. Thanks for Watching
I watched your video and I was puzzled just a little bit growing up in the South here in Tampa Florida and crabbing all my life since I'm 70 now I have yet to see anyone in the south from brussel sprouts and tomatoes and what you call a crab bowl which is that what you did with steam a crab boil is when the crab is completely submerged in the water. I've never seen one use onion powder on a steamer but it look like it might be pretty good anyway enjoyed your video I wish I had a boat back cuz I'll be out crabbing myself anyway from the Old Man in Tampa Florida may God bless
We have a habit of not doing things the traditional way we combine different ways of cooking we learned from areas of the country we've visited, the brussel sprout idea came from a crawfish boil we were at in Biloxi Mississippi, Joyce will sometimes try something different like the onion powder (those crabs were very good). We are both 75 but sometimes we don't know it lol maybe that's why we do a lot of non traditional things. Thanks a lot for Watching we really appreciate it
Well I don't know where you at in Biloxi but I've been worked in Mississippi for nearly 7 years I'll have been 10 years I work there moving oil rigs it may crawfish boils as I've been invited to and gone to and they always use the same thing I always have new potatoes corn and occasionally they with the button mushrooms in there if I never went to one that had brussel sprouts but that's okay if y'all enjoy it more power to you me myself I'm not a fan of Brussel sprouts never have I never get past the smell but yes I'll travel all over the United States I've been 40 of the 50 states I used to move all Rings all over the country so yes I've tasty Cuisine from all parts of the United States especially if they had oil rigs there but God bless you keep up what you doing here shortly I hope to be moving out of state of Florida me and my oldest son are looking for land in Tennessee like I said I'm a native of Tampa Florida I was gone for nearly 30 years I come back and I cannot handle the heat but God bless you all keep up the videos and I'll be watching have y'all tried crabs yet with spaghetti sauce
Check an old video on our channel it was a crawfish boil competition we were at, it's called Lots of Fun at Crawfish Boil Biloxi Mississippi, they use everything imaginal to try to win including pineapple, brussel sprouts, very hot spice and not so hot. The table in the video was a winner. Also we have a video called Linguine With Blue Crab Sauce (tomato sauce) Thanks again for Watching we really appreciate it
Love you.....East Palatka
I love all your videos.
From South Carolina
You don't know how much we appreciate that, Thanks
I never steam them before but after seeing you do it - I will try it
We steam and boil them when we have a lot of crabs we steam them that way you can get more in the pot without boiling over when we don't have a lot we boil them but to me they taste good both ways. The same with cleaning them first, sometimes we do and other times we cook them whole but less messy when you clean them first. Thanks a lot for Watching
Enjoyed your video as always. NC today high was 35 with 20+ mph winds.
About the same here, 30 in the morning seas 3-5 feet next 4 days.
Just found your channel, I'm in Sanford FL. Nice video! Loved the mini crab boil
Thanks a lot for Watching we really appreciate it
Hey. I never heard from you. Can you two get a automatic pulley to help with the traps and maybe a I call it a dump rack so you don't have to pick the traps up and toss them? That would help you two. Thank you for the great videos.
You can't have any motorized equipment if you're recreational crabbing. Thanks a lot for Watching our videos
hello the name of the sausage is pronounced as "A dells" love the videos
Thanks
Good video like always and that last trap was great 👍 Joyce, I felt sorry for you, you looked like you were freezing. You definitely need some waterproof gloves! I don't know how you do it, if my hands are cold nevermind wet and cold, I'm done. How long is your winter crab season till? Thanks again.
Diane it's mostly warm during the winter here, we do get a few cold days but it's usually just in the morning. We crab all winter but it's nothing compared to up north. Thanks again for Watching
Come on up to Maryland and we’ll show you how to cook blue crabs.
I'm the wrong person no matter how they're cooked they kind of taste the same to me I'm not very fussy, we eat crabs about 3 times a week and they all taste good to me. Thanks a lot for watching.
❤️
Good to see that you can get blue claws in winter. Can you catch them from shore in winter, or do you need to have a boat to access deeper water.
We catch them from shore year round in Florida and Mississippi
You guys should fry them yummy they are delicious fry
Joyce, It just happened that we fried some yesterday and you're right they're delicious. Thanks for Watching
Why don`t you have a Basket to dump the Crab in. Guessing it`s probably the same reason you don`t carry 10 Traps is because of space. Mrs. Joyce pulls them Traps good I bet if she got into Arm Wrestling she would do good. Enjoyed it
Like you said, 17'-0 boat limited space especially when pulling the traps, I just pick them up and put them in the fish box. Thanks again for Watching
Please make a recipe book I will buy one from you without doubt let me know if you have any plans
I live in Cocoa Beach and want to start doing some crabbing. We have a boat that trailers well so Sanford being an hour and a half away may be a good starting point.
Where could i get the kind of traps you folks use. We aren’t very good at pickin crabs but are willing to learn from your videos Thank yall
You can get the traps at 3 Kings Crab Traps at Salt Springs. I think Stanford might be too far south (the furthest we've caught them was in Lake George) we crab more north towards Palatka. You would probably do better your way, just outside of the Intercoastal Waterway, also you'll be able to catch stone Crabs when they're in season. Thanks a lot for Watching
Thanks for the video. I was wondering what depth you were placing the traps and where you were in the river.
12 to 18 feet south of Palatka. Thanks a lot for Watching
@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors Thank you! We just got a place on the river to the north of Palatka. Hopefully I’ll be joining you on the river soon. Your teaching me a lot!
That should be a good area for crabbing and shrimping
JUST SUBSCRIBED,
Thanks a lot for Subscribing and Thanks for Watching our videos
Try the Maryland way cooking some so I can taste them if u can't find just j o season try kosher salt and old bay. Mix together But a lot she's a little stingy that's how u get flavor on meat off ur fingers when u clean them
We'll try It George, Thanks a lot for Watching
Maryland style steaming permits dipping an occasional morsel of the crab meat into apple cider vinegar then touching the encrusted top shell's seasoning for a blend of sweet/spicy flavors.
Can I come over for dinner...I do all the heavy lifting catching them?
Sounds good. Thanks again for Watching
😍
Nice bunch of "Jimmy's".
Thanks a lot for Watching
Just priced a lb of lump crabmeat in Northwest Florida, Thirty eight dollars a pound. I always laugh to myself when I see someone using crab for fishbait. Should always be other way around.
So the jumbo lump price is a kidney. Man....crab prices are crazy!
Your right that's a lot of money, crabbing will almost pay for it's self if you eat a lot of crabs like we do but not our offshore boat that's a loser financially but a lot of fun. Thanks a lot for Watching
You’ve ruined those crabs doing them that way. Leave them alone and steam them the Maryland way with seasoning on top. All you’ve done “cleaning” them that way is take all the flavor out of them.
We cook them all different ways, boiled, steamed whole or cleaned, when I'm going to pick them for crab cakes, them I like to clean them first. We first started cleaning them when we lived in New Jersey the area we lived in, the bay was so polluted the state recommend cleaning them before cooking them that was bask in the 60's it's all cleaned up now. We don't use a lot of seasoning we just like tasting the crab. Thanks a lot for Watching we Really Appreciate it.
@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors why did you even answer that. If you like the way you cook them then that's it. Do what you do and enjoy them.
Now that is not a good way to cook crabs. You should never break the shell off because there is a lot of flavor in it.
We cook and eat a lot of crabs so we experiment with different methods of cooking them, steam them whole, boiled, cleaned, baked, on the griddle, seasoned and with no seasoning. They all taste good to me. If we only cooked them a few times a year we probably would be more fussy. Thanks a lot for Watching
