Boat Race While Crabbing

Blue Crabs, in this video we'll be setting our blue crab traps (pots) in Crescent Lake in Crescent City, Florida. It's the first time we set our blue crab traps in the lake since hurricane Milton. We baited all the traps with chicken and let them set for 2 days. when we went to pull our traps we had a surprise it happened that there was a poker run going on right in line with our blue crab traps. After pulling our crab traps we ended up with 41 Blue Crabs.
When we got home we steamed the crabs and had another delicious Blue Crab dinner. Also at the end of the video, I'll show you how I make turtle excluders.. Catch and Cook #blueclawcrab #cookingbluecrabs #cookingbluecrabs #floridabluecrabs #catchingbluecrabs

My Dad passed away 4 years ago, watching you work out a problem and fixing it in your shop reminds me of my Dad. You bless me this season Thank you

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

Thanks, I'm glad I can bring back those special memories. Thanks a lot for Watching our videos

Elders are full of knowledge. I wish my dad was around long enough to teach me all he knew.

[@frankyates5412]

...in a million years I wouldn't have thought of straightening the wire with a drill, love the jig. Ingenious!

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

It works great and the wire is perfectly straight even with heavy 9ga galvanized wire. Thanks for Watching

[@michaeltaylor4984]

You 2 definitely know how to reep the bounty. Good eats with minimal effort.

Thanks, we just try to have fun, Thanks for Watching

Sam & Joyce yeah! Crabbing is good therapy.❤

[@paulwelch5570]

Dang I thought that boat was going to run y'all over. Nice bunch of crabs. Miss Joyce always cooks them up so nice. Y'all stay safe and enjoy life

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

Paul, they had the whole lake and it's a big lake but most of them went right down our trap line. I kept an eye on them the whole time and had to move a couple of times before they got to us.

Another good day on the water. I really enjoy it when you add in some trap repair, or upgrades. Now if I can talk Joyce into doing a bread video (or if she already has let me know so I can bing watch all your videos to find it) all will be good. Please keep on making your videos and we will keep on watching them.

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

Thanks, we're glad you enjoy our videos. I just finished editing a bread making video, it took me 10 times longer to edit it than it took Joyce to make the bread lol. I'll publish it in about a week. Thanks again for Watching

Hello Mr Sam and Ms Joyce. That cabbage looks delicious 😋. Always nice to try something new. You making your own turtle excluder brought back memories when I use to do cabinet work ( Installing and putting them together). So I think I might try making my I own excluders. So I have already subscribe but here is my thumbs 👍 up for another wonderful video.

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

The cabbage was good. The homemade turtle excluders seem to catch more crabs than the orange ones. Thanks for Watching

Hi Sam & Joyce, We really enjoyed your latest crabbing adventure, looks like you did very well. We are missing being able to go crabbing (We are in PA) so in our free time, we are preparing for warmer weather and a trip to Mississippi, maybe we will see you there! I made a crabbing calendar to help get through these cold months. I couldn't find any online to buy so I made my own. I sent you one too and I hope you will enjoy it! Happy New Year and happy crabbing! 🦀

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

Thanks a lot, we received it today and wondered who sent it. Joyce and I love it, it's perfect Thanks again and have a Happy New Year. Maybe we'll run into you guys in Mississippi, it happens a lot.

[@davidburke709]

Why those hooligans and rakehells and their monkeyshines!!! But hey - vicarious crabbing is better than no crabbing at all! Thanks for bringing me along! I hadn't thought about steaming cabbage with crabs, but that's a great idea. I'll have to give it a go sometime!

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

It was different lol. The cabbage was very good, try it. Thanks again for watching our videos

[@rennyray11]

It’s crazy how this seems to be the most you’ve caught in the traps all year and it’s the winter. I wouldn’t expect that! Great job! Happy Holidays!

It happened once before at the end of the season in another video where we caught 70 crabs with 30 in one trap. Thanks for Watching our videos

That’s the most I’ve seen you get since I found your channel I’m with Joyce this is exciting I would be afraid those boats wouldn’t see me that would be a hard hit and a bad one guess you’ve been doing it long enough you know what you’re doing😂

[@brianforaker1160]

At least those boats flying by really fast. Do not roll a big wake at you while you are trying to pull your traps and steer the boat. It's hard enough in the wind as it is. I'm sure I've been there. Great job guys! Enjoy!

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

Thanks, that sounds good, we're still working on our property that was destroyed by hurricane Helene when we finish with that we'll be able to get away more. You're right about the excluders, the plastic ones also exclude blue crabs lol. We also hope you have a great New Year.

The crabs ran away from the speed boats right into the pot.

You're right, they were hiding lol.

[@linsayhenry920]

If I left my pots out for two days, they would have been stolen along with the crabs in them. Put them out in the morning and check them in the afternoon and stay near the area. It is America - are you allowed to shoot at people who are stealing your crabs. I once made a boat spring a couple of leaks at the waterline. Funny, I never lost any crabs after that.
