Blue Crabbing on a Wednesday morning. Right before Tropical Storm Debby hits Florida 🌀

Hey everyone 👋🏾
I decided to venture out today on a Wednesday before tropical storm Debbie hits Florida. I figured it would be quiet and not a lot of people out but boy, I was wrong. Seem like everybody in their granddaddy was fishing I guess because kids are about to start back school soon. However, I was able to go crabbing alone and nobody really joined in. And that’s the way I prefer! I did pretty well for the seafood boil. I really enjoyed this hobby and I can’t wait to find a new favorite location very soon.

Save money and freeze your own ice in water bottles and you won't have to empty the water out of your cooler and your crabs won't drown. Thanks for sharing your videos 👍

[@hopeflows10]

Thanks for watching! I just bought large ice packs from Wally World 🌎 because I seen it on another crabber’s YT. And you’re right, I’ll start making ice at home, so I won’t have to buy any and chill them down at home before cleaning them. 🫶🏾

Hey girl. I love your videos. A word of advice, snow white crabs are not the target. That means they molted not long before you caught it. You want the ones that are dirty on the bottom, referred to as a rusty belly. That means it's been awhile since they molted, so they're full of meat. You may already know this, so this is just in case you didn't know.

[@hopeflows10]

Sure did! Rusty belly are best! They are fully of meat. I just think the white are pretty and more clean looking lol 😂 But absolutely, the more rusty the better. Thank you for the tip! And thanks for watching!

Yes I’m a crabber in SC. Go like you said maybe 1 1/2 hr before high tide it sweeps the crab 🦀 in. Great video I love it

[@hopeflows10]

Great job keep doing what you do

[@hopeflows10]

I appreciate it. Thanks for watching 🫶🏾

[@40s9s3]

Glad to see you get out and enjoy our beautiful state. Too many people stay inside and miss it's greatness.

[@hopeflows10]

Thank you for watching. Yes, I didn’t think it would be super easy to go crabbing but it’s very easy and people just try to get out and look for spots. 🫶🏾

[@40s9s3]

@hopeflows10 you're on opposite coast of fl from me but when I vacation I go to your side of the state. Catching fresh food like you did is very rewarding and I appreciate you taking time to show people how to do it. God bless you young lady

[@hopeflows10]

@40s9s3 absolutely! I would love to go crabbing and Titusville or Jacksonville when I get some extra time. I definitely would love to go over there and see what the crabs are all about. I appreciate you taking the time to comment. 🫶🏾

[@40s9s3]

@hopeflows10 Ding Darling has lots of crabs if planning of traveling a bit.

[@hopeflows10]

@@40s9s3 never heard of that place, but I will definitely do some research on it. Thank you!

[@vandwellingBrandon]

Hey you got me over here bench watching your videos right now I'm getting some good idea for some spots when I move to Florida later on this year I like your energy keep it up

[@hopeflows10]

Oh lovely! Thank you for binge watching my videos! Definitely start doing some research on Google maps/Google Earth. Just Google places the crab in Florida and you will get a lot of resources and then some ideas to start looking at places. Hope your move to Florida is smooth. Thank you for watching! 🫶🏾

[@vandwellingBrandon]

@@hopeflows10 thanks I am definitely trying to do all the research I can I appreciate all your tips your videos are very informational and entertaining 💯

[@hopeflows10]

@vandwellingBrandon You’re very welcome 😉

[@mavman351]

Hope you don't mind me saying so, but you have a very, distinct voice. Dare i say sexy voice! You would be great in radio or audiobooks! Nice crabs, i didn't know how easy it was to catch them!

[@hopeflows10]

Haha, you probably hear my Florida panhandle accent a.k.a. country. I don’t know about radio or a audiobook lol that’s the first for me. I never knew how easy it was as well as long as you go to a good spot. You learn on social media. lol 😂 thank you so much for watching.

[@mavman351]

​@@hopeflows10Your welcome, thank you for posting! I'm a Floridian as well, I can hear it girl!

[@davidcanary8991]

I enjoy watching you solo crabbing as I do same trying to find spots @crystal river, if you find yourself in that area give me a message we can crab together

[@hopeflows10]

I haven’t been to Crystal River in a minute, so it’s due time to plan a trip up there. Definitely going to be scouting some new spots soon. Happy Crabbing - thank you for watching the video. 🦀

[@lynellehancock1]

I go out there alot, I'm surprised I haven't ran into you

[@hopeflows10]

Where Hernando or Pasco?

[@lynellehancock1]

@@hopeflows10 Both. Mostly Pasco during the week. Hernando on the weekends. Couple hot spots in Hernando.

[@hopeflows10]

Yeah, I’m always out at Eagle point during the week. I want to discover some more spots in Hernando. I do like Bayou Dr., Bayport is just way too crowded for me..

[@lynellehancock1]

If I ever run into, I'll show you the spots

[@hopeflows10]

@@lynellehancock1 Sounds great! Thank you! 😊 I don’t know how I stumbled across point but it’s a chilled place. Jenkins Creek. I don’t know. Seems a little bit slow when it comes to catching crabs, but it was only my first time.
