Caught a few mud crabs on the weekend and made Garlic Chilli Mud Crab pasta after watching your video. Awesome vid and thanks for the pasta idea - the family loved it!!!
All looks great Sammy, sadly l only had king prawns with chilli mango's, l didnt want to get my feet wet. good to see your pots werent raided, that's a bonus right there, cheers
Doing the same set at night technique, we used to use a small float and tie the rope so that the float stayed under the surface so the thieves didn’t see the floats.
Great video Sammy, when i was young we had to make our own crab pots out of weld mesh and wherever we went we got the pots pinched. Great catch of sandys BTW that's plenty for you, mum and dad?
Man there’s no way my Mrs will be able to just peel the crab and put the meat aside for a pasta dish. She’ll be smashin them as she’s peeling 🤣🤣 🦀 Great vid mate 👌
I tell you what I'm not really a crab eater but man you make it look so good that might be on my to do list great video too thanks for sharing that experience
Looks yum, A couple of things I would do to improve it no end. First, (great to see you didn't use commercial pasta sauce) fresh garlic is way better, maybe a couple of cloves smashed with the flat side of a knife then chopped and lightly fried. Second, use fresh pasta (so much better than dried) and finish with half a hand full of chopped parsley folded through. Give a try, you will thank me later.
Should change to 10 or 12mm silver rope, alot easier to pull up and less chance of tangles. Also if it gets stuck in the sand/mud, you got some strength to pull it up!.
Love the crab videos mate u we’re lucky not to lose any if u don’t mind me asking are u putting your pots past the bridge but still in the channel cheers sammy
Come to the USA Louisiana and enjoy a taste that you never had before! Your gut might not be able to handle our awesome flavors! Would love to introduce you to it though! We can change your view on how you cook crab and other seafood! Like the video!
Nothing to do with fishing -but those frypans are awesome, I love mine. I'll give that dish a crack too - never done a crab pasta. Sandy's go great in a chowder too -I did batch with those, some Dart and some green prawns etc.
@@reddyman6915 2 bacon rashers chopped fine, cup of white wine, tsp or 2 of flour, less than a cup of cream, a few chopped potatoes, 1/2 tsp of chopped dill, 2 cups of chicken stock, crushed garlic clove, red onion chopped fine, celery stick chopped fine, sand crab meat, meat of 2 decent dart (or tailor), green prawns ( quantity is up to you ) - fry the bacon in some oil, add onion , celery, garlic -cook until soft, stir in the flour, add the wine, bring to boil, add stock and spuds, cook until soft, add seafood and dill, add maybe some salt and some chili flakes plus the cream - simmer until prawns and fish are done - add some bread and tuck in! (This is just mine that i made up from scratch - just make sure it's thick and creamy)
Hot tip: I'm a chef and I know you've probably done it before without the stuffing around, but if you were to use fresh veg instead of canned stuff and cut perfectly the same, with homemade pasta, presented in a unique way. But with all the same ingredients and cooking process you used, you genuinely have a three Michelin star dish there mate. That's cool as fuck for a humble fisherman
Try using chop sticks to help get the meat out it works greats those look similar to are jersey blue claw crabs. That back swimmer is where most of the meat is but the rest has a good bit also. Chop sticks are greats cheers sent this before u started using something similar loll
@@SammyHitzkeFishing we tryed old chicken we had in the fridge and chucked it in two pots an put them out near macleay island, had 2 keepers an a few small ones, doesnt work to bad i rekon

Happy #SundayswithSammy day legends!!! Did anyone catch any cool fish this week?
Hope you enjoy the video 🍻🍻
caught some spottys (5) just off noosa (hauls reef) in the space of 1h
Caught a big 55cm catfish and a 40cm mullet in the cast net, also hooked a really big fish that snapped me off.
Caught only 2 miserable Whiting in the Pine on Saturday , and threw back 1 undersized bream ☹️
3dogs all at least 2.8
Chilli crab is nice
The best anglers and fishing vids are Aussie made. Aussie is great and Mr Hitzke u r cooooool....
haha Thanks Shalveen! Appreciate your kind words and support!
Awesome Crab Catch and Cook video Sammy !! Keep up the amazing work Sammy !! Thanks for the videos Sammy !! Cheers William !!
Caught a few mud crabs on the weekend and made Garlic Chilli Mud Crab pasta after watching your video. Awesome vid and thanks for the pasta idea - the family loved it!!!
Oh that's awesome mate! Stoked you guys liked the recipe!! Cheers!
For extra presentation points you can chuck a crab claw and few legs with slices of grilled lemon and fresh dill 🤙🏼
I’ve been crabbing once in California! Love it!
Awesome mate! you'll have to give it another go soon!
Looks like the bribe passage......top spot for the sandies. Top vid mate
Certainly is mate, Cheers!
Another awesome catch. I would have put some parsley and garlic chives in that pasta...🍻🍻🍻🍻
Might have to give that a try next time! Cheers!
Mouthwatering video Sammy.
Well done.
Thanks mate! appreciate it!
That pasta looks delicious!! I can’t wait to give it a try. Thanks for the video!
No drama's, Enjoy!
what camera are you using Sir?
Gopro Hero 7's mate!
@@SammyHitzkeFishing Wow! thank you Sir.,im planning to buy Hero 7.,im one of your follower..
Bad summer to be a crustacean Sammy - you’re killing it!
What can I say, I got hungry!
All looks great Sammy, sadly l only had king prawns with chilli mango's, l didnt want to get my feet wet. good to see your pots werent raided, that's a bonus right there, cheers
hahah "sadly". I reckon a cold beer or two went down with those prawns! Yeah good to see we didn't lose any this time!
Well done mate. Another great vid and awesome cook up. Now I’m hungry for some sandies 🤣
hahah Thanks mate! Yeah I thought that might stir up a few appetites!
Great video mate. Got some great ideas for cooking keep them coming
Thanks mate! Appreciate it!
Maaate! That is the gooooods! Put half a ladle of the pasta water in the sauce next time and thank me later. Cheers.
Roger that, i'll give it a try! Thanks for the tip!
Doing the same set at night technique, we used to use a small float and tie the rope so that the float stayed under the surface so the thieves didn’t see the floats.
Well done! I went crabbing a few weeks ago and all 8 of my traps were stolen... sad world we live In now.
Kiara Williams Sorry to hear that happen ..... you just have to sit and watch them now all the time .
reddyman use pop ups so no one can see your float. They take 5-6 day to rust and the float comes up. Out of site out of mind.
That's Terrible! Some people just ruin it for everyone!
What a clean up!!!!!!!
Thanks Mads!
Sammy catches crabs 🦀. Noice episode mate. 👍🏻🤙🏻 Didn’t know you could by Mullet heads from BCF too. Thanks
Cheers mate! Yeah it's super convenient for crabbing and probably shark fishing too!
Another fantastic video, thanks mate for some quality entertainment.
Could you do a land based whiting video?
Thanks mate! I've actually done a few whiting videos if you look back through the list there
Sammy Hitzke Fishing copy I’ll go back through and have a squiz. What about you have a competition and take a fan fishing? I am free most weekends 😂
Thanks mate did well impressed with the pasta dish will have to give it a go
Cheers Darren, appreciate it mate!
Great video Sammy, when i was young we had to make our own crab pots out of weld mesh and wherever we went we got the pots pinched. Great catch of sandys BTW that's plenty for you, mum and dad?
Cheers mate! Yeah plenty for the family and a few mates as well 👌👌
Man there’s no way my Mrs will be able to just peel the crab and put the meat aside for a pasta dish. She’ll be smashin them as she’s peeling 🤣🤣 🦀 Great vid mate 👌
hahah you might have to supervise just to keep her honest! Cheers mate!
Good eating. Fun episode
Thanks mate!
Hey Sammy good show mate totally entertaining. But I may need to help you, buy yourself a nut cracker for shelling crab's legs
I tell you what I'm not really a crab eater but man you make it look so good that might be on my to do list great video too thanks for sharing that experience
You might have to give it another try! This one might convert you!
true

i'll have to give that a try next time! Cheers
That's why my boss likes to take me, I like don't eat crabs or seafood but I love fishing for both so he's always happy to take me
Hahaha He sounds like a very smart man!
Just cold sand 🦀 and beer 🍺 for me - love making a big mess with the shell . Appreciate the cooking content though..... great vid 👍
That's a hard combo to beat, sitting on the back deck with a few mates and beers smashing crabs. No better way to spend an arvo!
Hi..sammy.glad.youve.finally.caught.crabs.they.bite.hard.😄😃😂😀😯😯😉😯😷😞😷😷
Hey mate do you head out the front of the passage?
All around the mouth there mate
Should change to 10 or 12mm silver rope, alot easier to pull up and less chance of tangles. Also if it gets stuck in the sand/mud, you got some strength to pull it up!.
Yeah not a bad idea, I just like how compact the thinner stuff is for storage
You the man Sammy
Cheers mate! Appreciate the support!
Day Sammy best way I've found to stop people raiding your pots is to get some colourful zip ties and zip them shut, good deterrent
Yeah unfortunately recently people have just been cutting off the ties or ever worse cutting the pot to get into them!
Love the crab videos mate u we’re lucky not to lose any if u don’t mind me asking are u putting your pots past the bridge but still in the channel cheers sammy
Thanks mate, very lucky that trip! yeah putting them all past the bridge
Come to the USA Louisiana and enjoy a taste that you never had before! Your gut might not be able to handle our awesome flavors! Would love to introduce you to it though! We can change your view on how you cook crab and other seafood! Like the video!
I'll have to get over there one day then!
Gday
Where did you purchase your traps from
BCF mate!
Looked the goods mate 👍🍺
Cheers mate!
Hey sammy- have you tried the rolling pin method for cleaning your crabs up?, does it really quickly .
Nah I haven't mate! I'll have to have a google and see how to do it!
Hey how much were your fish hanning up on your wall
Hey mate, they all cost varying amounts based on the size of the fish. You call the guy who made them for a quote, www.fishmounts.com.au
Nothing to do with fishing -but those frypans are awesome, I love mine. I'll give that dish a crack too - never done a crab pasta. Sandy's go great in a chowder too -I did batch with those, some Dart and some green prawns etc.

redredwino 🍷🍷🍷Gee thanks for the posting of your recipe I will try it soon..... much appreciated !! Cheers 👍
Thanks for the recipe! Sounds delicious!!
Hey sammy yeah video was great I watch it with one of my boys who turn 9 today and he said he wants to come fishing with u and Shauno lol
Thanks mate! happy birthday to the young fella and glad you guys are enjoying the videos!
Hey mate just a tip when we go crabbing we put zip ties on it to close it ,it will stop them coming undone or from getting raided
Unfortunately they just cut the zip ties now or even worse cut your pot up!
Sammy, may I ask what camera you’re using to record yourself on your fishing adventures?
All filmed on gopro hero 7's mate!
Sammy Hitzke Fishing thanks mate!!! Best of luck with the fishing!
If you put a little bit of vinegar in when boiling or steaming. The meat come out alot better
Yeah roger that, i'll give it a crack next batch!
Bribie again got a good feed b4 xmas 👍👍
Nicely done mate!
Have you ever had octopus raid your crabs up there mate? It happens to me in Pittwater constantly if I let soak for any longer than 8 hours....
I haven't actually mate! That would be a bit of a bummer! Do you eat the octopus to get even?
@@SammyHitzkeFishing Yeah man, they don't go too bad on the bbq :)
Good work buddy
Thanks mate!
Looks the goods mate, have you ever tried the recipe with muddys?
thanks mate! I havent yet, but I don't doubt it would be awesome!

Where do you buy your traps
BCF
@@SammyHitzkeFishing Thank you
20:33 haha 😂
You need a set of kitchen tongs to pick them up. Or something like that. I don't blame you, those crabs can bite!
hahah i'd rather risk it for the biscuit! gives the crabs a chance to get even hahah
What is the boat you're using?
My boat is a Sea Hunt 186 Triton
looks nice.. would this go well with a creamy bacon sauce
Your probably right! That would be delicious!
@@SammyHitzkeFishing thanks I not been crab but with your tip maybe I might be lucky
We call them blue swimmers in NSW sweeter than Muddys a bit more work .Cheers Adam
Yeah they go by quite a few different names all over Australia actually! I agree though, definitely sweeter than muddies!
That recipe looks amazing and went out and got on to 4 nice mud crab bucks and and a heap of jennys from the block
hahah nice mate! Muddies for dinner and lunch then!
Goldy?? Love the crabbing eps
Nah mate, up at Bribie. Cheers!
Try using chop sticks to help get the meat out it works greats those look similar to are jersey blue claw crabs. That back swimmer is where most of the meat is but the rest has a good bit also. Chop sticks are greats cheers sent this before u started using something similar loll
hahah great minds think alike!
Sammy Hitzke Fishing I’ve made something similar to the pasta dish I made. Might have to give yours a try next time cheers
I meant to say blue swimming crabs Taste delicious and I catch them every month in Brisbane water
I don’t know how you can pick the meat with out eating some 1 for pasta 1 for me haha 👌🎣
hahah it's alllll about self control.. even still the odd bit doesn't make it into the bowl haha!
Did you get a BCF sponsorship?
Hey mate, I've been working with BCF for the last 4.5 years now
@@SammyHitzkeFishing ah cool, I hadn't ever noticed you wearing their stuff before
You recon mud crabs would taste good in the Pasta
Don't b fooled buy the pots that I drop I'm still I'm still Jinny from the block 😂😂😂🍻
hahaha now that's a tune I could listen too!
Try chicken breast for bait or legs, bit off/smelly ones work great
I usually prefer the fish frames but i'll give it a crack!
@@SammyHitzkeFishing we tryed old chicken we had in the fridge and chucked it in two pots an put them out near macleay island, had 2 keepers an a few small ones, doesnt work to bad i rekon
That would be a good video i reckon, would love to see the out come if the chicken wins or the fish
ayeeee
Gloves might be nice for handling those little pinching beasts.
Where's the fun in that ahahah
Dish would be off the hook with the prawns you get and fresh fish. Bit of a marinara
Yeah that would be unreal!
Nice vid
CHeers mate!
