Catching LOUISIANA Blue Crabs! (Catch and Cook). I had a great day catching blue crabs in Point Aux Chenes, LA on a public pier. I got to meet some awesome people while out there.

Native Texan but I have Cajun blood running through my veins. My fondest memories are fishing and crabbing with my family. Thanks for sharing your story with us and thanks to Peter for pointing the way to your channel.✝️🙏🏼❤️

[@rowdybme4584]

I'm from Texas. Lived in Louisiana. Their culture is so much better. They give tips. Give you bait. Help you out and friendly. Everyone here in Texas is toxic. Acts like they own the lakes. Refuse any tips or trick unless they taking money from you.

[@millenialmemoirs]

Both sides of my family are from Acadia parish going back at least 150 years. Generations of rice farmers, crawfish farmers, and builders. I don’t live in Louisiana anymore but the older I get, and seeing channels like this, make me want to move back and settle down in south LA. The world is getting too crazy.

[@chesterricherson3565]

AMEN TO THAT!!!

When I was a child it was my favorite thing too do is catch crabs one at a time Louisiana. That was back in 1955. Military family so moved back too Maine . Got married went Lobstering instead. Yummy in both places,.

[@datlouisianalife]

Lobstering sounds like a good time!

I like your channel. I caught lot s of crayfish when I was a kid. We sold them around town in a Texas town. I agree you have a great outdoor channel.

[@TomWright-jy2ze]

Found you on from Peter's show. Enjoy watching. Have subscribed. Thanks. Continue the great shows.

[@johnhalstead5938]

Growing up on the Chesapeake Bay, we crabbed with chicken legs attached to string just like that other fellow. Great memories.

[@sharonwynder218]

My family did too, the Elizabeth River❤

[@melodymakermark]

@johnhalstead5938, I just commented on that above. When I was a kid our parents would take us to the coast and we’d crab with the nets, but I’ve never seen that string method. Pretty simple, but effective. If you’re from that area, you might be interested in this crab catching KZbinr whose name escapes me at the moment. Actually I think it’s Luke McFadden.

[@jeffreygeorge219]

I crabbed Kent Narrows and Wye River in the 80s, 90s. 600 ft Trot lines w eels. Those Wye river monsters were black bottoms and doublers. all morning

[@ericparker6936]

Chuckatuck, VA here (Midlothian too), we basket net & def string chicken with pole net. Fishing using some of that secret stank white bucket & chicken livers with panty hose.

[@TailEndCustoms]

That was the spot!!

I so love watching anyone from Louisiana. My husband and I lived in Louisiana 1967, we lived there almost 3 years. We didn't have much money, I was 20 my husband was 22. We crabbed the way the young man was, several strings out and a dip net. Out of all the places we lived, Louisiana was the one we missed the most. I just found your channel and really enjoy it. ❤❤❤

[@Whipple1]

That’s a very nice comment.

[@marthaholcomb8148]

@@Whipple1 Thank you, but it is a wonderful place. We lived at Prairieville, that's near Baton Rouge, we had the most wonderful families around us.

[@datlouisianalife]

Thanks so much! My son loves using the string lines for crabs. We will be doing that soon since it seems like the crabs are starting to run. 🦀

So excited for you guys with your new (to you) and larger camp. Look forward to a ton of video adventures this year as you spruce it up (w solar panels and personal touches) and Drake and Tara continues to catch monster Bluegill out da back. I live in San Diego (retired Navy) but frequently visit my daughter and family in Baton Rouge (go LSU!!!) Lived in New Orleans as a young boy which triggered my lifelong love for hunting and fishing...guess that's why I enjoy your channel so much. Think next time I visit LA, I'm gonna have to try my hand at crabbing to add em to the neighborhood mudbug boils. No crabbing really available in San Diego, but my son and grandson and I do pretty good harvesting a bunch of Spiny Lobster during the 6 month long season here. I follow a lot of hunting and fishing channels, but really enjoy Dat Louisiana Life more than most. Take good care.

[@datlouisianalife]

@@johnbush2798 We truly appreciate that! I'm sure we gonna be spending a lot of time out at the houseboat. We actually spent the whole week out there last week. Crabs and crawfish for the neighbors! Man, that's awesome! I think I would trade crabs for the lobsters. Take care buddy! 🦀

A lot of people cook the vegetables with their seafood but I usually do it separately. I don't season my vegetables as much as the seafood and also I find that it keeps your vegetables from getting all smashed up. Thank you! 🦀
