Had another great day! A lot of cars showed up and turned around. I figure they all went to that spot I showed at the end. Get there early! Also, yep, I spelled subscribe wrong again. It's a hassle to re-encode and re-upload so I need to be more careful. I'm still learning and I'm sure I'll get better at it.
@@timconnelly6340 it’s a place called Turkey Point. Apple Maps said it was in Fortescue, so that’s what I went with. I think I put the GPS coordinates in the description, copy and paste them in chrome should pull it up.
Last time I’ve been to Turkey point was roughly 2014 Amber about an hour and a half away please hasn’t changed a bit. I usually go to Fortescue. Also I’m thinking about going tomorrow. I just hate going by myself cause I don’t like to talk to myself, thanks for an awesome video it has not changed
Thank you for this video. I lived in Fortescue 40 yrs ago and miss it so very badly. crabbing was my favorite thing to do. I loved going to Maple Lake also. We lived right across from Beaver Dam. Eat some of those crabs for me
Fortescue is a great area! I remember renting the crabbing boats near Beaver Dam and going out on the Ms. Fortescue. I’m glad you enjoyed watching. I’m hoping to have many more to come. The crabs and spaghetti came out great! I’ve been eating it for 3 days now.
I use it when I can get it. unfortunately there weren't any bait shops in the area. Or much of anything for that matter. I do look for them along the route on Google maps and pick up bunker when I can.
@thandastones888 The bugs weren't much of a problem at all while I was there. It was way too windy on the bridge. There are actually a lot of places to crab down there but Turkey Point was the only place I remember. I know there are spots in Dividing Creek, Beaver Dam and Fortescue and probably many more. I was thinking of starting a list with names, addresses and GPS coordinates. GPS coordinates because some of these places don't really have addresses and the exact spots can be hard to find.
I was there last year and the green heads were so bad i didnt enen get out of my truck. Great videos My topless traps (18) are getting pretty rusty so i might switch up to these ring traps. Keep on keepin on
I remember the greenheads being out of control when I was there years ago. I picked a few cans of Repel Max just in case but I guess it's still early for them. It might be an early/late season spot only.
Enjoy Fishing Fortescue in the fall for White Perch, never been to this location but will check it out, looks like it could be good for White Perch as well. Thanks for the video!
If you do check it out let us know if you catch anything. I only saw tons of mud minnows and whatever it was that I managed to hook. It would be interesting to see how someone that actually knows what they are doing can do.
Depending on where you are in Maryland you could be just as close to Fortescue as I am. Keep trying though. As long as your enjoying yourself then it's still a win in my book!
@@slingshotcrabbingThanks for the reply. I’ve been crabbing in Galesville and have come up empty. I think I need a better spot, but of course good crabbing spots are well guarded secrets.
@@philipplouden5892 I don’t think people realize that their secret spots probably aren’t as secret as they think. Once upon a time maybe, but Google maps makes it easier to find.
Thanks! It's a very popular place. I'm positive that if I didn't arrive at sunrise on Sunday morning that I would be one of the many, MANY cars that turned around after seeing someone was there.
@@slingshotcrabbing and a good thing about exchange place fear where I where I went the Blue Cross of five 5 1/2 sometimes 6 from point to point so now since I live on Staten Island I'm catching blue crab up the ying yang small ones big ones and pregnant ones
Good morning sir do you see I live on Staten Island right across the river to Jersey I did a little crab in Wednesday I had a day off from work silent blue crabbing by me there's a waterfront there I called all together like 20 blue crabs and it was like 7/8 of them that were pregnant which went back I want to try going to Jersey to go crabbing and fishing over there but since I have no car I take the Jersey PATH train I used to go fishing and crabbing on the pier over there the first stop in Jersey from Manhattan they're pretty good over there this was many years ago before I moved to Staten Island so I'm going to go this Sunday by me and see if I catch any more good luck to you I'm going to subscribe to your channel anyway
Great vid, gave you a sub 👊🏻 haven’t been to fortesque in a few years, and it’s only 25 or so minutes from my house. I think now I need to get back there!
There are so many areas that look like they would be great places to crab and fish around there. Only problem is finding the ones that are accessible. Thanks for the sub!
I didn't see any. Just a few of those gnat/no-see-um like things. I remember they were there when I was younger, so either township got rid of them or they come later in the summer.
Great Video!!! Brought back so many wonderful memories of Crabbing in that very spot with you years ago when you were just a kid! Glad you went there and that the crabs are still plentiful in that area. This Video made me so Homesick to go back to Jersey and do some crabbing but I'm told that here in Houston there are some great places to go crabbing at near the Gulf too.
@@jameyrobinson2144 If that’s what ya gotta do. Is this like a hobby or something? Find obscure videos of minor violations and report them to fish and game? If and when they contact me I’ll just plead ignorance of all the rules, pay the fine and move on.

It's Maple Creek
Just imagine how many more crabs you would have caught with bunker instead of chicken haha its funny seeing people use that for bait
I use it when I can get it. unfortunately there weren't any bait shops in the area. Or much of anything for that matter. I do look for them along the route on Google maps and pick up bunker when I can.
@slingshot3238 You can get bunker in south Jersey any where
@slingshotcrabbing any bait fish would probably be better than chicken Bunker is almost always available here in New Jersey Delaware Bay area
Great video! Looks like there were no bugs. I believe you are way down South this time. Crabs 🦀 look healthy.😊

I keep getting skunked in Maryland and yet you’re getting them in Jersey 😅
Guess I’m gonna have to travel just to catch some crab.

Oh by the way the name of the pair that I used to go to in Jersey the stop is called exchanged place
Just looked it up. That's a huge pier! I'll add to my list of places to try. Thanks!

Nice, love it
It's a great place. Need to get there early and at a high tide. That's the tricky part.
I know where this is so i wont say anything about that but ho2 did u keep the green heads away from u ?
Those little fish looked like a baby Crocker. I ordered some of those traps you use thanks for the link.
They are good traps and much wider then the usual round ones.

Thanks! Just need to get over feeling like an idiot while talking to myself. I'm sure it will come naturally the more I do it.
Well I'm sorry to break it to you but you wasn't crabbing in Fortescue . You sir were in Turkey Point haha.
Blame Google maps. turkey point fortescue, nj 08321
@slingshot3238 Wow then that's sad
Actually, Google maps says it’s Port Norris. Apple Maps said it was Fortescue.
@slingshot3238 Apple oh dear don't buy that stuff haha
Are the Green heads out now ..........??
Subbed ya ....... 👍👍 MB .......
I didn't see any. Just a few of those gnat/no-see-um like things. I remember they were there when I was younger, so either township got rid of them or they come later in the summer.
@@slingshotcrabbing . They come with a west wind this summer ..
The are there now. There's clouds of greenheads

No commercial style crab pots may be placed in a creek less that 50’ wide at mean low water. This video is being reported to NJ Fish and Game.

Lmao what an asshole maybe they should try out to be a game warden if they are so concerned.
Those spots u passed, go to them next time u get down there , im not giving up my bridge in that area😅😅
Lol! That beach area was packed. It was a bit of a challenge just driving past there. They don't leave you much room.
The fish looks to be small croakers and white perch
