Awesome video, but really makes me miss the good old days. My dad got me and my brother hooked on crabbing back when we were 7 yrs old... 1974. We use to go down to Ocean City NJ every summer. Sometimes we went out on a boat and other days we went to this really nice public pier and we always had a blast. Then of course we'd bring our catch back to the rental house where my grandmom and mom would cook them puppies up. Now some years later I'm disabled without a car... but seeing this video makes me think I should try and get a few people together, rent a car and head to somewhere along the Chesapeake and drop some traps and lines. Funny thing is... we've never done it the way ya'll do it with dropping the traps with the floaters. We always would just hunker down in one spot with typically a rented pontoon boat and just drop traps and lines all around it. Really getting the itch! Thanks for the very enjoyable video!
Thank you for sharing such an awesome memory! Love to relive good times and experiences, my dad and I would love to try to coordinate a trip and take you out on the boat to crab with us sometime if possible! Shoot me an email @DelawareOutdoorsYT@gmail.com
Great video!.Just got my first boat, (At 65! oh well) she's a C-Dory 16. I call her "Little Rig" and hopefully she'll be taking her share of Jimmies from the Delaware Bay this year. Hope to see you fellas out there!
Not many crabs left. I remember I could fill up my cooler in a half hour back in the day. Used to pull up 4 and 5 at a time. Need to give them more breeding room.
Yessir, that's what we do! Have a snood for necks and bait holder for bunker. Done it for years, we recommend it :) Other people will say its too much bait in one trap
Not one of these crabs was even close enough to needing to be measured for keeping size, all well over. And not one was a female, you know from the first look if they’re a male or female with their apron and claw color
Varies per state! In Maryland you can keep males larger than 5 and 1/4”, and as a recreational crabber you can keep one bushel of them! All females are to be released!
We pretty much crabbed within sight of Rolphs. Sometimes further south around the bend past the mansion on the left or up further north around the bridge.

No, we all need to go catch all the blue cats eating them up!
Great Video Guys!

😂😂😂
@@huffy6630 😂🤷♂️
Have you tried or know someone who tried using both fish and chicken in the same trap as bait?
Yessir, that's what we do! Have a snood for necks and bait holder for bunker. Done it for years, we recommend it :) Other people will say its too much bait in one trap
Nice job. How many traps do you have out in one set, and how long do they 'soak' before making a run?
16 traps and as fast as we pick them up, we turn right back around and pick them back up again
Good times huge catch ...Crack Open the Beer's !
Hey guys can you direct me where to purchase open top traps?
Bought them at a local Tackle shop, recommend checking out options online as well. Personally just bought 10 Perfectionist ring traps!
I use traps like that...You catch big crabs in those traps because the big crabs chase the little ones out of the trap.
How come you guys didn't check for male or female or the size limit
Not one of these crabs was even close enough to needing to be measured for keeping size, all well over. And not one was a female, you know from the first look if they’re a male or female with their apron and claw color
Where in the Chester River was this at?
😂 nobody tells their spot.
Is there a size and catch limit for blue crabs? And does it vary by states?
Varies per state! In Maryland you can keep males larger than 5 and 1/4”, and as a recreational crabber you can keep one bushel of them! All females are to be released!
Delaware Outdoors what’s the recreational aspect of crab fishing? And is it another license or just fishing license
@@Meetoniceyou Basically a fishing license, a commercial license increases the amount you can keep and can keep females I believe
WHERE ARE YOU? I AM IN ENGLAND
Fishing level?
How far up the river do you go to catch them?
We pretty much crabbed within sight of Rolphs. Sometimes further south around the bend past the mansion on the left or up further north around the bridge.
@@edpodralski3985 Cool...I'm typically further south, around Eastern Neck. Thanks!
Be A Lot Better If i Knew Where The Chester River Was .
Try google
just one of many rivers feeding into the Chesapeake Bay in the state of Maryland. Don't be fooled into crabbing Virgina!
