Back To Our Secret Spot

Jumbo Blue Crabs, In this video we'll be crabbing with handlines at what we used to call our secret spot ( it's no secret any more ). We decided to try it again after almost a year. It was a spur of the moment decision late in the day. We've been wanting to cook some crabs on our Blackstone Griddle, so what better way to test it than some Jumbo Blue Crabs. Having not a lot of time we managed to catch 7 Jumbo Blue Crabs. After getting home I cleaned the crabs and Joyce prepared them for the griddle. They turned out great, another way to cook Blue Crabs. Catch and Cook

Hello Sam & Joyce -- those are some really nice nice Blues..... good thing you didn't wait till today, nothing but rain here all the way to the Coast... Happy Crabbing.. 🦀🦀

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

Thanks, they were big crabs and full of meat. Thanks again for Watching

[@paulwelch5570]

Them Crab's look delicious. Miss Joyce. Mr sam done a great job catching them. Stay safe

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

Paul, that spot has some giant blue crabs and they're smart lol. Thanks again for Watching

[@gearytittus1823]

Sam & Joyce, Wil from Baltimore here. You need to try if you haven't already, cooking Shrimp, Softcrabs, really any seafood on the grill. I'm talking about a regular grill that uses charcoal or propane. You marinade the seafood (I use teriyaki marinade alot!). After you marinade and it doesn't take long, using a seafood grill grate so they don't fall through, you only grill a few minutes on each side. You will not believe how Great the Shrimp, softcrabs or whatever you're grilling, will taste. You know that saying about potato chips, only eating one! They are out of this World. You should whip up some oysters on that flat top. They'll turn out great as well. Lay the oysters on the flat top and cover with wet towels. After they open remove the towel and add some butter until melted. Delicious. Happy Holidays! Wil Rosedale, Maryland

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

We'll have to try it. We have cooked shrimp on our propane grill and they were good. Thanks a lot for Watching

[@sandranair9471]

Good catching. Stay Blessed and safe . Awe love your videos. God Bless

Very nice crabs, you don't need many when they're that big. Seriously those crabs looked so damn delicious, Joyce you looked like you're in heaven while eating them. Anyway l'm fishing tomorrow ( Sun ) can't wait, tight lines lovely people 🎣 🐟 🇦🇺 🇺🇲

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

Stuart the crabs at that spot are mostly all jumbos I don't know why they're so big there. Hope you did well fishing, always nice hearing from you

Hi Sam & Joyce, it's great you got to go crabbing. Those were huge!! Also, Joyce l could almost smell that delicious meal from here. Ya'll are awesome too!!! 🦀🦀❣🌴

Thank you Maria they were huge crabs.

[@19jake23]

Any crab that gets away from Sam can consider itself extremely fortunate. Good work Sam!!

[@jukeman57]

Who says you have to crab from an ocean side pier. Crabbing in the backwater bays turned out productive. Good job Sam & Joyce.

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

We almost catch as many crabs with handlines as we do with the big traps. Thanks a lot for Watching

Those crabs are hard to catch, that's how they got so big.

[@jameshoffman7771]

I see you're back in my rocket hole that place does hold some Giants when I was a kid I used to really get some really giant crabs there but that was way before everybody trashed that whole area don't worry I got the gator tied up in another spot right now😅

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

James, you're right about the trash and there are some giant crabs there and sometimes hard to catch ( they're smart ). In Mississippi the big ones are easier to catch for some reason. Thanks again for Watching our videos

Thanks for bringing me along Sam and Joyce this was another great crabbing video and those are some very nice large blue crab would love to see how many crabs you can catch at one time by throwing a trap in the hole and letting it sit and just keep a good eye on it like maybe stay close to it and do something else why it just sits there pack that Crab Trap full of fresh chicken

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

Nice hearing from you Tim. Those crabs at that spot are smart it's even hard to catch them using a ring trap that's why we use handlines there. I still might try it. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving

[@debbietoon5405]

You 2 make crabbing look easy. Believe me I know it isn't. The joy of doing what you love is so nice. Wow! at the size of the crabs. Making them on the griddle I know taste so so good. Love watching you guys. Keep those videos coming.

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

Thanks a lot for watching our videos. If you're close enough to the water and you feel up to it maybe with a friend or family member you can go out on a pier or dock and catch a fish or Dungeness crab or just enjoy the outdoors, we hope that's possible. We really appreciate you watching our videos.

[@oceandeepfishing4555]

Wow guys. That spot is hot. Nice catch. I wonder why that spot creates those big crabs. Got to be something in that area that feeds them with some high nutrients. There like on steroids. Great to see ya again. Ive got two days next week i might do some crabbing. Possibly even take the boat out. I need some content to put out. Three times out no fish so no videos. Hope your enjoying my garden videos cause thats all i have for now. Take care guys.

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

Ed, I can't figure out why the crabs are so big there either. We finally got out in our Sea Hunt and did some fishing, it seems like every time we can get out it's rough. We were lucky and got into some nice Weakfish. We were on the east coast. We haven't been out at Suwannee for a while. I liked the planter you made for your sister, I might make one.

They were big crabs. We went back to that spot but no crab, I think it's because of all the heat we've been having, high 90's and 100's.

Hi Sam and Joyce, Nice to see you catch some pork chop level blue crabs at the not-so-secret spot. How do you think the crabs taste in New Jersey compared to Florida? I remember crabs I caught in North Carolina didn't taste as good as the ones I caught on Long Island. They still tasted really good, just not as good.

Joyce, not sure if i mentioned this before, but walmart has “repel lemon eucalyptus” spray that is NOT toxic, like backwoods and other sprays, and it works like a charm. my hubby and i discovered it about 2 years ago. get you some. you will smell like lemons but it keeps everything off of you. also, sam has on long pants and sleeves so he wont get bitten much at all. but you do shorts and short sleeves like i do.
