Hi Randy, Alex and Ryan! I used to crab all the time! We had a collapsible square trap when I was little and it was SO much fun to catch crabs. Great tips! Kindly, Theresa and Cam
Thank you guys for stopping by for a visit! I just saw your comment on our last video, too, and I was just over on your channel to check things out! Crabbing is tons of fun and kids love it too!
Love the crabbing brother!! The first thing I did with my crab baskets was upgrade the lines..🤣🤣.. they were such nice metal baskets with such crappy lines. I think I put 550 parachute cord on mine from Walmart. I can’t wait to get mine back out and catch some, I’ve been wanting to eat some fresh blues for months now!! I cheat though, bought a set of the metal crab tongs to handle them with..🤣🤣.. Got tired of being pinched..😁.. Looked like an awesome day out with family and friends!! Great informative video brother!!👊🏼👊🏼🦀🦀
Thank you Lance! We definitely raid the kitchen and throw some tongs in the bucket when we remember. The handles aren't very long so it can still be a little dicey!😳 Need to splurge and get the longer, more heavy duty ones I've seen others use while crabbing. And I agree, how crazy it is where you can get a nice pot or basket but have crappy line that comes with them? Kind of like buying a nice truck with lots of features inside the cab, only to look down and realize the tires are bald!
@@fatherandsonsfishing 🤣🤣.. or that you have 10” of fender well space..🤣🤣 love it Randy!! Y’all be safe and I hope y’all have had a great weekend brother!!🍀🍀🦀🦀
That is so cool Randy. You provided a lot of fun, entertainment, and learning. Cool to learn the difference between males and females too. Alex is well on his way to being a pro.
Thank you Titus! This was the same place we crabbed last year when we made the catch and cook challenge to you and London. We went easy on you this time since you were such a good sport about it! I'm still in catch-up mode on your videos and I'm watching some out of order, but I do recall seeing you put some nice crappies in your cooler recently...🤔
Looks like a really fun day. But I gotta be honest - trapping crabs is kinda like snagging fish in my book. Been hand lining and netting since I was 6 and for me that’s the way to go. Then again, nobody asking how they were caught when they’re coming out of the pot in their Old Bay suits. Lol.
I agree, John. My favorite way to catch them is hand lining. If I'm by myself then it's good practice with the net, and if I have a partner then it's a fun team effort. What I was going for in this video is the simplest and most efficient way to catch/snag them which is what these traps have proven to be for us. We didn't do it in this video, but most of the time I use a combination of the traps and hand lines so there's a little bit of everything.
Pfft... People made fun of me for using zip ties on my chisel plow hydraulic cylinder. So far it turned up about a dozen acres and survived! Zip ties rock!
All I ever used was nylon twine, tied on a chicken neck with a 2 oz. sinker....You're knot that far from the Chesapeake.....Paperback.....Beautiful Swimmers by William W. Warner.....
When I'm solo I love to catch em with a hand line, too. That requires a little more coordination so it's easier to use the traps when I'm out with the kids. Haven't heard of that book before but I just looked it up and definitely sounds like something I need to put on the list. Thanks for the recommendation!
Thanks for the crab-ucation lesson 🙂🥇
We hope this helps you catch more crabs!
Great tips, guys. This was fun to following along. Hope you guys all have a great weekend.
Thanks John! You too!
I will have to remember this next time I catch crabs. (So many crab jokes, I had to pick just one)
Lol Rande! My professional advice to you is to NOT catch crabs...
There are multiple ways to catch crabs, that is for sure. 😂 Catching a turtle in a trap is pretty awesome. Great hacks, Doc.
Thanks Dug! That turtle was definitely an unexpected bycatch!
Another well done crabbing adventure! You guys have some crabtastic content!
Haha Dana! Appreciate that, my friend!
So nice to see the kids involved in crabbing. Such a fun activity to do with the kiddos. Thank you
Thanks for watching, and yes, the kids love it!

We been catching bunch of crawfish with similar traps. I need to get out with my friend to catch some crabs on Chesapeake bay.
I need to get these traps out around here and catch some crawfish, that's a great idea! Hope you get a chance to catch some on the Chesapeake!

Good to know if I ever get a chance to go after crabs.

Awesome guys! I'm at the moment thinking of 3 Hacks for me to help you to devour the crabs! 😁
Haha, Adam! Heck yeah! That’s the good part brother!

The invention of zip ties may possibly the crowing achievement of humanity!
Good video! Looked like a fun day!
Thank you, it definitely was! Catch and cook next time, though!
That was a fun video!
Thank you!
I think you might have had a misspelled word. I think immature should really be spelled ....
Schick-ature....
I think you're right, will go back and correct!
I get my quasi amazing superpowers from eating electric eels. You might try that but just don't let my secret out of the bag. Kapper out.
I won't tell a soul...

Hi Alyissa! Thanks for stopping by!🙂

Did I hear you say you were catching crabs and not cooking them ? Something wrong with the Universe.
Haha Don, it was hard to not cook them too! The crabs will not be so lucky next time I'm out!
