I know a few spots similar to this. I couldn't figure out how to harvest massive amounts for two decades. Why didn't i think of this? Glad I looked it up! Thanks for making this video! Now I'm going to see if i need a commercial license or whatever to sell to bait shops.
Fiddlers used to be thick like this near Ponce Inlet. We buried a shallow plastic tub and herded them just like this. I don't think there's a hundred fiddlers in Volusia County any more. Where was this video made?
No crabs were harmed in the making of this video. Each one of these crabs was given food stamps, welfare, college scholarships, subsidized housing, and cell phones, and released back into the wild.
I was thinking - there was a part of it - forgot to get the time stamp - where it looked like film of some type of cattle being filmed from a helicopter.
This looks like an excellent method for catching these crabs. But I bet if you got you a ten gallon Hat, a pair of boots, a couple horses and some Chewing tobacco it would significantly speed up the process and make it more streamline. You gotta watch out where you spit though you might take one of these little guys out.
so I have the opportunity to do this this summer In cape cod mass is it just for the bait and is it good value if not I'll just have fun with them like always they are awesome
When i used to work at a pet store as a kid we had a fiddler crab come in and the others had eaten all his legs and left him with only one claw he could use to feed himself. Every morning when i opened the store i had to check him because he would fall over backwards and he would lay there waving his claw in the air. We had to moving him around to eat. One time while cleaning the tanks this lady asked us what a cute little crab and why we named him chris the crab? We told her after christopher reeve. She got pissed off and stormed out amd we never saw her again. Anyway chris the crab lived for 3-4 months before he finally passed away RIP.
Odd people now don't get as pissed as that lady did about why we named him Chris? Because he paralyzed like Christopher Reeves. we did have some regular customers wanting to buy him but i wouldnt sell him. Wish i had pics of him. He had one little claw and would wave at you with it.
yeah I agree, in my places, there is always a hole next to each other and these crabs always doing their stuff next to their hole so.. I couldn't use this tactic lmao
Ive seen it a lot and at low tide they get hot and go down to edge of the water,ten minutes your done,go fishing and your not sticking a stick in a hole or digging all day,these guys doing it smart
@Mari443Garrett1 no you use them for bait for salt water fishing and where are they at if thats panama city Beach FL then I know where I'll be in a week
Rick Sanchez did the moonmen help? Maybe Mr. Poopybutthole? And now thanks to you sir the Galactic Federation has been ejected from Earth, the Gromflomites are still working with Tammy, Beth and Jerry are getting a divorce, and Birdperson is alive (sort of). Tammy and the Gromflomites have created a Frankenstein, undead Birdperson which now calls itself “Phoenixperson,” and that creature is apparently loyal to Tammy. "Wubba lubba dub dub motherfuckers!"
I did this about 15 years ago, On a much smaller scale (Coffee Can and 2 rod holders) Great video but the music was annoying, We would rather just hear the commentary.
I was rabbit hunting with my father one day and he told me that when he was younger he would go out and get 60 to 90 rabbits in one hunt run.....I said to him, thanks cause you left fuck all for the next generation to enjoy or harvest. He gets it now!
I'm not sure I understand, Wayne wearing all of these fiddler crabs hiding in their Burrows? I don't see their burrows anywhere. I'd love to try something like this, everywhere around me the fiddler crabs have burrows that they hide in, so you want catch them out like this.
+Jiyong Han Using my knowledge as a Florida native, fiddler crabs can replenish their number in a rather short amount of time compared to other kinds of crabs. I'm not sure about the actual numbers and dates but I think even after all they took the population should be back up in a couple months. Plus did you see how many of them there were? He took 2-3 buckets and there still a huge number of crabs left. At $300 a bucket that whole horde is probably worth $2,000. Leaving enough to repopulate ensures you can get much more than two grand over time, though ;)
i don't know anything about these crabs so i hope i am not being ignorant but i have a good idea in my oppinion, that might make this job go by a lot faster and a lot smoother by simply using a leafblower! I believe it might just work.
Ya good job but not cool if you keep that up you're depleting the stock for the birds and other wild life ! I'm a fisher man two but come on man just to make a buck $$$ don't be so greedy I'm sure you're doing Damage to the environment and food cycle ! Money is the root to all evil we will kill anything to make a dollar take this into consideration for your kids .God only gave you one earth it's up to you what we do with it .
phishinfool If you think this is putting things out of balance,just look at it this way....Obama is letting way more Illegals in than you see here in Crabs to take your food and jobs, You have been listening to too many tree huggers. Wake up!!!!..... and learn to use the word "too" instead of "two". How many Fish and Fiddlers can 5 Million Illegals eat?
How do you all get access to the area you catch the crabs? Also, I think your friend would have much better success at "herding" those fiddlers if he used a shop broom rather that a sand flea rake. ;)
Thanks for tutorial. Could hold pool noodles to extend hands makin roundup easier. Using a broom to swep them along would be better than a steel basket
+A Giz For fiddler crabs? You bet your ass there's a demand for it. It's a great bait in Florida for catching all kinds of things. Especially sheepshead, a very delicious fish. Some people grind them up and put them in cheese cloth for chum when catching live fish for bait with nets.
+Gillan Laureth of Seles okay so... enough with the penis, even though it is a great discussion I must restart this convo... so fiddler crabs ARE worth 600 a bucket like he said in the video? Yes no? Gillan Laureth says yes.
Max Savino I don't know if they're $600 a bucket but they are valuable and there is a demand for them in certain areas of Florida. I think the guy in the video said $200 a bucket and they got 3 buckets so $600 total. Too lazy to watch it again lol.
I understand that these guys want to go fishing and all. But I mean 5 gallons worth of fiddler crabs is way more than enough. I don't think any of these people took into consideration how long it will actually take to use all those Up as bait. I see people doing this kind of thing all the time with fiddler crabs. It's inexcusable. There should be some law that allows only like 10 crabs per person.
They're collecting them to sell at a bait shop. There are quite literally millions upon millions of them in any area such as this. If the population was in danger or it was effecting other species, there would be regulations on it. Also, 10, seriously? 10 will maybe last you maybe and hour, much less of you're actually getting bites.
Andrew Mross they are supplying a bait shop for people to use them for sheephead.they do this to make a living,out of everyone there the people that want the fiddler crabs to stay at a sustainable poulation for harvest. Because without fiddler crabs they can not make money.
are these the same crabs you buy at the fish market ( like a pet store ) i use to buy them ( dont know why ) and they use to clime out of the fish tank and crawl all over the floor when i got home
Bloops Floops by seeing those numbers I guess there are more than billions of them so it really isn't cruel they are bait for fishing, that if you know anything about fishing.
I am no hippie but aren't these spawning crabs, don't they live in the ocean and come to land to spawn, Would it be a bit more effective to find an after spawning catching technique. They have to return to the sea at some point, most likely the same way they came in. Just sayin , cool video though
Actually, the fiddler crab is not a species that spends its life underwater. Fiddler crabs commonly live on land and also have the ability to survive underwater.
the larval stages of this animal spends its time deep in the open ocean but they come back to land in their adult stage and do breed on land twice a year with each female capable of generating thousands of offspring each time.
ReVo Nyro one guy doing this once no. But i'm sure hes not the only one doing it, let's be real. Over fishing/hunting is a thing no one can doubt that. It's no single person who does it, but when everyone does it, it messes shit up.
As easy as they are to catch I wish there was a way to eat them. I wonder if I used a crock pot and slow cooked them till the shell was soft if they would be edible?
Great bait for Florida bay Sheepshead, Black Drum and Pompano etc. basically any fish will eat them. Naturally, they are most active at low tide. Poured a bunch in a friend's sleeping bag, hilarious!
Candace Vaillette fiddlers are an invasive species that cause more damage to the environment per habited area than humans do. those large patches of missing reeds and dry sand are cause by those land nuggets.
Pacific Gull I am sure after thousands of years those little crabs have been doing there job just as Mother Nature intended. Now along comes man and decided that they're destroying the beaches.
If you want to be an environmentalist then be an informed environmentalist. Do you even know anything about fiddler crabs? Do you know if they're invasive, what other wildlife eats them, if fiddler crab population is in danger, or if there is plenty of other food for that wildlife besides fiddler crabs? National fish and wildlife service pays attention to those things because they're informed.
Not sure about everyone, but we used them to catch a specific fish in the gulf of Mexico. Sheepshead. Not the best fish, but they're fun to catch, they fight valiantly for their size and are delicious enough.
for all those that are going on about population. its pretty obvious that these little guys reproduce very quickly for there to be so many of them. and for those who wonder why they need so many, they said that they are selling them right. well theres your answer as to why the need so many of them. its not only them their fishing for. and think about it logically, whether they sold them to their customers or all their customers fished for them themselves the amount that are going to be catched probably isnt going to change all that much. in fact it would probably be more than in this video. I dont think any one person needs this many crabs too fish with, but when dividing the number they fished by the number of customers they have, the amount probably becomes alot more appropriate.
I know a few spots similar to this. I couldn't figure out how to harvest massive amounts for two decades. Why didn't i think of this? Glad I looked it up! Thanks for making this video! Now I'm going to see if i need a commercial license or whatever to sell to bait shops.

That is about enough fiddlers for me to catch 5 Sheepshead!!!
😆😆😆😆😆best comment by far
Right lol
😂😂😂 Facts!!
😂😂😂😂
It's like the scene out of pirates of the Caribbean when the crabs take the ship to the sea.
I think it's fair to say they aren't threatened whatsoever
Hey wesley I didnt know you were into fishing!
Where in Florida do you find fiddler crabs of this abundance these days? Back in the 60's I saw them, but not lately especially in the Sebastian Area.
So many crabbos! I never thought I'd see someone literally herding crabs like cattle.
I wonder if you could herd them with a quadcopter?
Fiddlers used to be thick like this near Ponce Inlet. We buried a shallow plastic tub and herded them just like this. I don't think there's a hundred fiddlers in Volusia County any more. Where was this video made?
No crabs were harmed in the making of this video. Each one of these crabs was given food stamps, welfare, college scholarships, subsidized housing, and cell phones, and released back into the wild.

Racist pig
Even the ones with pre existing conditions!!
And given tickets to Disneyland and one pink shirt.
@@rhondagarland1540 No they weren't pigs, they were crabs. Says so in the title.
So what will be done with them? Bait for fishing?
Why didn't you put several small buckets lining the poles?
Alex Miller they could only afford the 1 bucket.
Awesome I absolutely love the way you were herding them up maybe I can do that with my children
This seems to have worked out all right, numberswise.
I suppose a horse, stetson and lasso would be no good for this.
siidfgpuzy
sadly nope
I was thinking - there was a part of it - forgot to get the time stamp - where it looked like film of some type of cattle being filmed from a helicopter.
You know theres alot when the camera fps drops while looking at the middle of them all
Hey friend. I grew up in Tampa, and really miss the fishing. Catching those little buggers like the way you are doing it is smart.
These things are EVERYWHERE in florida for those hippies that are whining about over catching. These guys have a bait shop I believe.
can you find these anywhere in Wisconsin?
Looks like you're in a helicopter watching buffalo XD
I JUST wrote that comment above, lol.
I would just use a vacuum
Good idea
bad idea, it would take oxygen away and kill them almost instantly.
It would be like that one episode of adventure time, when those businesses guys were sucking up all those little cute fuzz balls, all terrorized
joe leahy they are gonna die either way, from being killed like that or for fishing
This looks like an excellent method for catching these crabs. But I bet if you got you a ten gallon Hat, a pair of boots, a couple horses and some Chewing tobacco it would significantly speed up the process and make it more streamline. You gotta watch out where you spit though you might take one of these little guys out.

Is there a limit to how much u can catch ?
Yea as much as you can before the police come

😉😉😂🏆🏆🏆🏆
Pretty cool. Where is this and when is it?
you should try a large shop broom to push them in.
Corbin Hills that could injure them and lower their value and would be less humane but if u dont kare about being humane could wotk well
Aaron Ransdell nah they need a sheepdog yo
A bit of over collecting unless you are supplying a few bait shops
Its called harvesting, and you can freeze them.... for the winter fishing months...
ShrimpNFishFlorida
Vince Russell lmfao
have you ever tried a leaf blower to round em up?
Anders M. Johansen that would kill them fiddle carbs are very delicate

Me too
Pretty small to eat, what do you do with them?
sell them to bait shops in this quantity. they make great fishing bait for any crustacean eating fish.
You kill the Nature !
Forgive me but. . what do you do with 'em and. . I bet if you drag a silver tarp alongside you could herd them in a wider arc. .
This is mean
Do you freeze them? It would take me at least a year or two to burn through that many.
What do you do with baby Fiddler crabs?
Are they edible? What do you do with these?
Are they use for bait?

wow, were they all just randomly strolling down the sand when you found them or did u dig them up?
for all those that are going on about population. its pretty obvious that these little guys reproduce very quickly for there to be so many of them. and for those who wonder why they need so many, they said that they are selling them right. well theres your answer as to why the need so many of them. its not only them their fishing for. and think about it logically, whether they sold them to their customers or all their customers fished for them themselves the amount that are going to be catched probably isnt going to change all that much. in fact it would probably be more than in this video.
