Welcome back! I’d love to meet you.
Binging on all your videos, they're great!
Tug. If you really need someone to come over for supper, I guess I can come by..lol What an offer!!
Great video glad you enjoy friends !!!!
Lookin' good 👍. Never had Blue crab, always ate Dungeness from the PNW.
all your videos are so fun!!
I enjoy watching your videos. Glad you are sweet and kind to your wife. Loving relationship. Love to see what you 2 are catching and cooking!❤
Thank you!
I used to use traps when they cost 15 dollars. Now they are closer to 50 each. Used to lose a lot of crabs to thieves, and sometimes the whole trap. Resorted to tying a concrete block between trap and float. Thieves hate work. Solved my problem.
they probably thought it was just a trotline....
@@TrevorsCrabs I also wrote on float"Danger, High voltage Power line"
@@officerkrupke4966 both great ideas
@@TrevorsCrabs Someone else said they would probably pull it up to steal the copper

Sweet looking bucket of blue crab! How old is your Boston? Good looking pup you guys have! I have a 3yr old Frenchy they are such good dogs.
He is 2.5 and the best!
Can't wait for the clamming video
Probably around thanksgiving when the water cools off!
Please try toadfish or just regular . They're called stainless steel seafood fork picks, for blue crabs. They get the meat out of the blue crab body effortlessly so great. Don't every swallow the tiny fiber like shell inbody. No more long time getting that good meat.
Will do!
Great crab 🦀 video welcome to South Carolina that's where I'm from you may need to come down to Santee South Carolina we have some fat catfish and more great family vacation
I did some frog gigging over there! Huge frogs!
When I was a boy growing up in Maryland we went crabbing just about every weekend during season, either to the Chesapeake bay or Annapolis on the Severn river . Towards the end of summer ,early Fall you could catch them mating on top with a net , scoop them up and throw the female back. Females weren't legal , but you were allowed a bushel per boat , and if we didn't catch a bushel we'd sop on the way home up Rt 4 ( turns into Pennsylvania Ave) and a bushel at Jimmy's Crab House was $15 , which was probably like $300 todays money . Crab feasts were a big part of Summer and were excellent fund raisers for charities
Nowadays a 1/2 bushel 3-4 dozen ) shipped from Maryland is like $250. I want some so bad but I just can't pay those prices , so when I see you guys out on the water catching crabs and having a blast doing it , reminds me of good times growing up, and makes me want to get out there and catch some of my own. Appreciate you sharing this with us .
A lot of people don't know that you are not supposed to cook dead crabs , and that it can make you deathly ill . Even TH-camrs like DMFD and BlueGabe don't know this . ONLY cook live crabs , something I learned as a boy . Steamed in beer and covered with Old Bay is the only way .
From Google : You should not cook or eat a dead blue crab. Once a crab dies, bacteria takes the opportunity to spread and make its meat mushy and flavorless. Not only does it taste terrible, it can make people sick. It's best to avoid eating dead crabs.
Great memory!!
Wow I'm impressed on the crabs you caught. Great soak. First time on your channel. What part of the Saint John's are you in. Looks like Sanford area. We use to live in winter garden but now we're on the west coast. I'm looking to purchase some crab traps and do a little more crabbing myself.
Nice video. Going to check out your other video's.
I just subscribed.
Tight lines .........
Palatka area
Great Video. What color mustard do they have in them down there?
I’ve seen it green and yellowish
That's awesome dozen my best was 10
We do really good in summer
I want to try some your stuff cause I've never did any kind of sea food, cheap crawfish
Good job. Huggzzz-T
Man I couldn’t taste them crabs through the screen!🤙
That’s awesome. I’ve never done that before but would like to. Have a few questions. How do you know/remember where you put your traps and/or do they move? Next are you ever afraid someone may take them? I know these may be stupid questions but I’m a newbie who loves crabs and want to try to go crabbing for my own. 😊
I mark them on my gps. Yes sometimes traps will get dragged a bit.
We had traps when I was a boy that were square and when the trap hit the bottom the 4 sides flattened out . Crab crawls in to eat the bait , chicken necks aged a little in the sun work best. and after a few minutes you'd pull the rope up , 4 sides would close up and if you had any crabs in it they weren't getting out until you got the trap in the boat and opened it up again .. This way you could fish and crab at the same time, check the traps every 5 or ten minutes . You should also research trot lines on TH-cam . Catch lots of crabs fast without the worry of someone stealing from your traps .
Bring a gaff, it makes grabbing those bouy's way easier! Thanks for the videos, I enjoy the crap outta them!
💯
OK I admit I am green with envy. I live about as far from fresh seafood as one can get.
Have you every tried a crab snaring rig in Florida. Should someone crab snare in Florida?????
I haven’t but I’d definitely like to try it!
That is a mess of crabs!
Yes sir
Hey brother after you drop it how long before you check it
This time was 72hrs
Hello friend, is this place in New Brunswick Canada?
No Florida
Thank you for sahring this video!
No thank you for watching!
@@TugTrashOutdoors why no sir?
@@TugTrashOutdoors I like your video sharing.
I never crabbed in Palatka. I’m in St Augustine. Might need to take that quick ride. What do you think about the new blue crab trap regulations?
I hate them! I think it’s a tax on recreational fish man! Traps are expensive enough as it is and hard to maintain. Commercial traps do not have the same requirements which is BS!
@@TugTrashOutdoors agreed. I’m like ppl don’t even make them in regs right now from what I’ve seen. So trap and risk it or not. I’m going in the boat to force them jokers to work to catch me. Get wet homeboy
@@projektxent 💯
Do you ever purge them before ice/cleaning them?
Nope
@@TugTrashOutdoors this is Guy BTW
My Boston's name is Clyde, I named him after Waylon Jennings song. What's your Boston's name?
Yep that’s Mullet
Nice!
