Crabbing in Oregon | A Guide to Catching Delicious Dungeness Crab

[@cindypylant]

I just love that Cody has said "This is the best day of my life ", in every Oregon video, 😮 I think. I am just tickled pink that y'all are enjoying your time in Oregon. I knew you would!!

[@tracymeskel2839]

I am an Oregonian, and I’m so happy to hear him say, how much he loves it here. I’m very proud of this state, but there are also some very bad spots. I hope they enjoys the rest of their trip.

[@leanneneuman2719]

Hi guys! I was leaving there and coming here a few days back and I just got here! Oh my goodness! This was a really good day for us tag-alongs!! Too fun! Kellie, I could tell by the look on your face walking out of the crabbing lesson that you were thinking, 'thats it! That's all they r going to teach us!' I have to agree, that was brief! And then, I thought the guy on the dock was going to take y'all out! Nope, put u on a boat and off u went, knowing exactly where u were going! Cody, I had to laugh when u said, "oh yea. We got crabs! All kinds of crabs!" Kellie, so glad u pulled up the cage one time to get the whole experience! What would one do if there wasn't anyone on board strong like Cody, to pull up the cage! That was fun y'all! Were y'all shivering after dinner?! So hot here! Safe travels till next time🌞✌️

[@jilletha833]

A person would think that you are on vacay, but no this is your full time life…traveling from place to place! I just love how you love each other with total respect and admiration! Once again I am captivated by your journey! 💫🧚‍♂️💫

[@juliepetruzzi8563]

Among other things in this video, I loved the personality of the crabber/dock hand. He was so chill and friendly - loved the vibe. Y’all need to come here to Maryland and do some crabbing on the East Coast!

[@CodyandKellie]

Will be there in a few months

[@dwkirk]

Rent a side by side and ride the dunes at Oregon Dunes Recreation area. One of the coolest things we’ve ever done.

[@rickbranham4557]

WOW, what fun filled day, crabs, otters and the beautiful Sunset !! Love it !!

[@cuz129]

Cody is the best at living in the moment! All of us should live the best day of our life today!

[@dawndietz4654]

Watching y’all’s vlogs is “ the best day of my life!” Every week! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@tracymeskel2839]

I am Oregonian, and I am so pleased to hear Cody talk about how he loves it here.

[@ronwilkinson6114]

I'm happy you guys are enjoying my famiily's old tradition of crabbing. We would go out and crab for a few hours and then jump in my dad's 4X4 and drive up a beach called Horsfall with a huge kettle and we would cook all that the crab right there on the beach over a big fire and pig out,. We then would sit back and enjoy the sunset just like ya'll. That last scene is is very reminiscent of our outings

[@TraumaSurvivorCynthia]

We live full-time RV life right on Pacific Coast Highway 101 in Winchester Bay!! ⛵ Great video!!🌊 #davesandersstepdaughter

[@susancoleman3587]

Nothing better than a day on the Oregon Coast❤️

[@rudyacosta2516]

That was absolutely one of the best videos from the coast so far. From you guys, stay safe, ❤U GUYS,you're right about the Sunset Best I've seen.

[@joannewinters9616]

😅 thank you this was so awesome

[@MICHELEDART]

So fun, the majesty and splendor God makes for sunset

[@deladally1286]

Wow! Crabbing looks fun. What a gorgeous sunset!

[@billmccullough2323]

WOW!!! What a FANTASTIC day!!!

[@markthomas2436]

The coolest thing about the western coasts of America, including the west coast of Florida, is that ya get the sundown. Until you have seen a truly good one? Ya can not know that Nature is capable of magical stuff. To me, the sundown in Clearwater Beach is the best I have ever seen.

[@SherryAnnOfTheWest]

Oh my gosh! Kelly's is the best!!! Really nice people. I'm glad you caught some beautiful crabs .... one's better than none - Dungeness, Baby .... best crab flavor, for my money!!! Hey, if you're actually still in Oregon, be sure and get some good canned albacore tuna from one of the local processors ... it's a great treat for a quick meal when you need something fast ... the smoked albacore is CRAZY good. I'm also glad you sampled the Marionberry cobbler ... there's not much better ... Marionberries were developed at Oregon State University in Corvallis and my mother-in-law (aged 92) has been growing them on the original starts from the college since the 50s ... we get SEVERAL bags of them every year for our freezer and make Marionberry pies all through the year.

[@morethantheeyesees]

If you want to avoid Seattle, you can go up through Sequim and that way you can catch the ferry in Port Townsend across to Whidbey Island, and then explore the island on your way down to deception Pass. You will want to see that for sure.

[@Lisa-16]

Fun! I used to go crabbing off the docks with my dad when I was a kid.😊

[@jeffreysadventuresyoutube]

I really hope you guys feel like you’re on vacation!! Now you know why I live here!! It never gets old….

[@jesussuvcampkayakadventure6052]

Love it, love it, love it... I have to go that way one day 😝🤗🤭

[@wgb_jd]

Love Kelly's Brighton Marina. It's our go-to camping spot when we hit the Oregon Coast.

[@janishuey3639]

Another “THE best day of my life!” And I believe you, Cody. That looked like a lot of fun, with perfect weather, to boot.

[@fairwindsemptyroads]

I love that ya'll got to experience crabbing! Sunsets up here are something else. Loving all the shots ya'll get as always!

[@mikegupguthrie-futurenomad7866]

That sunset was “uptown high rent”…absooooolutley gooooorgeous!!! And that cobbler looked to die for 🤤 🤤 🤤 Really enjoying your adventures along the OR coast, tons of notes on my atlas! As always, stay safe out there…..

[@suzannemurdock3973]

My childhood was spent in Washington and Oregon. My family has had a house on the beach in Cannon Beach for 5 generations, and a family "compound" north of Seattle. 💚 I'm so glad you're loving it as much as we all do!

[@jesussuvcampkayakadventure6052]

That was awesome guys, I love the show, thank you all from est Texas

[@maryhight6030]

Wow Wow what an awesome fun day.🦀

[@samshepperrd]

I crabbed once. In the Halifax River in Ormond Beach Florida. About 1966. Took me a few minutes to learn which parts to eat. Used chicken livers for bait. Easy cheap gourmet dinner.

[@user-lr1if9dm7b]

My favorite episode so far. I’m loving the Oregon series!

[@jameswbarry9576]

Cody and Kelly you two are a blast ya apple pan cakes is it in the cook book do you need a fishing licenses for crabing ya there is nothing like a good fishing dinner oh you need a little wine with the fish dinner are you going to change dome life to this is the greatest day of my life LOL take care happy camping

[@judyderieux8484]

I love how he always says it too. What a fun day✨

[@78twood]

What a perfect day! That sunset was stunning 🤩

[@lowbudgetoutdoorsman8415]

The ocean will provide.... my favorite way to eat the oysters...throw on the grill or campfire until they pop open... a little melted butter and a splash of your favorite hot sauce (Tapatio of course).... scoop it out and slurp it down... good eats on the Oregon Coast!!! RESPECT FROM OREGON

[@debyarger3084]

Wow guys,that sunset!!! Priceless🥰

[@EricandAmyTravels]

Such a special place! We loved our time there and had such a blast on the train!!

[@maryfields1111]

Aaaaw glad y'all had a great time! I'm from California, but lived in Oregon for many years! I miss it!

[@cloverhills1369]

WOW!!! Congratulations on another "Best Day EVER!!!!" 💚🌲

[@lissagarren8998]

Great episode, guys! Thanks for taking us along 💜

[@tammyf8215]

You guys would absolutely love the East coast Sunsets here, Lake Ontario. Breathtaking ❤

[@kit3182]

What a fun time! Y’all had me tickled with those crabs! These past few weeks have definitely made it to Cody’s book of the Best days of my life! ✨✨✨

[@rjmyers5713]

Was about 12c years old, my first time on the Gulf of Mexico along the road barrier canal. Didn't wear shoes in them days, crab got a hold to my big toe, was a long time healing, now wear closed shoes to crab. Love them Oregon crabs big and delicious!

[@rosettaware1686]

That Sun set was everything

[@ranpat86]

An amazing episode! It makes me want to go do some crabbing! Cody I agree with you, everyday is the best day when you are alive to experience some of America’s most amazing places!

[@georgebuscay8511]

We live about 60 miles south of Tillamook on the coast. Our daughter and family came to visit from Nevada last month and we took them crabbing and clamming in Waldport and Newport, from shore for the crabbing. They sounded just like you when they got keepers. We went home and had a nice dinner with the catch. Glad you had fun. And, we just went into Newport and saw there was a vacancy sign on the South Beach State Park sign. It was full all summer along with most places on the coast. After Labor Day, it opens up here and you can get a site for more than a day. We get lots of people from central Oregon and out of state all summer. Kathleen

[@AnMarie711]

They have really improved the camp area . We tent camped at Kelly's. Looks great now.

[@Darciree]

Lovee crabbing!! Last time we got to go, we went out in our friends boat, dropped pots at 134 feet, came back later, and limited out! It was awesome! Love watching your excitement!! 😂❤

[@cheryltucker6589]

Y'all brought tears to my eyes with the 🌇 sunset clip & crabbing was a delight...hearing Cody yelp about one of them tickling him. An epic & delightful watch. Thanks, guys😊.

[@AmericaBound]

That looked like a blast. Thanks for taking us along for the ride!!! ❤❤❤👍👍👍😂😂😂

[@Potweeh]

[@boonedog1457]

Sooooooo awesome!!! That was fun! Crab is the best! It's so expensive in the grocery store. Glad to see you all enjoying the west coast. ❤🙏

[@Gigis5]

I watched this tonight,so much fun watching you go crabbing and how excited Cody is . I laughed when the crab crawled up his leg. Thank you for these videos ❤

[@CodyandKellie]

[@melissaedwards8974]

What a cool experience! That sunset was gorgeous.

[@highway88hiking38]

Looks like a blast! Gorgeous sunset.

[@micheleulrich-hb2ok]

What an awesome day! Crabbing looks like soooo much fun. Love me some fresh seafood! Happy camping 😊.

[@HalleyBylin]

To cook the crabs, bring water to a hard boil, put crabs in the hot water, bring up to a hard boil and then start timing 13 minutes at a hard boil. Hope that helps!

[@myjourneysinfaith]

Beautiful sunset. Thar looks like you had a great day

[@nicolec.8009]

That crabbing adventured looked so fun! My husband and I ate at Rosanna’s when we were out that way for our honeymoon visiting friends and family along the west coast in Oregon and CA! Brings back some great memories. I loved Oregon ❤

[@WVWes]

Breath taking Views! I've always wanted to see this part of the country! great video guys!

[@snowbirdlady7221]

What a wonderful day! Crabbing was a cool adventure and I loved the sea otter. You made me so hungry with all that delicious seafood.

[@kristiperkins]

As an Oregon citizen, I am so glad you guys are enjoying your time here. The PNW is such a magical place filled with natural wonders

[@chrisanderson1498]

What an amazing place! Cheers, Kelly & Cody 🍻

[@donnasmith-pupillo6508]

Beautiful sunset

[@mikeshawn5864]

25:28 I have seen a few beautiful Sunset in Oregon Coasts. Sometimes, marina air/mist blocks part of the sunset then it will be different. When it is clear, the final moment it turns the sky red. It is stunning, something that video can never catch.

[@jacklawson4839]

You all have me considering a truck camper. Great content. Thanks for sharing

[@insaynbcr]

Kelly's Brighten Marina has grown a bit since I last visited there. They did a really great job of providing a short course on crabbing. To be honest, summer time is traditionally the slower season for catching keeper sized male crabs. Late fall till mid spring tends to be more abundant, but it isn't perfect science. When you showed your spot at Garibaldi there over looking the bay with the old Coast Guard house out there, you missed an opportunity. Privided you still had a valid shellfish license, you could wait until the tide goes out, and walk barefoot in the sand right there and feel for Cockles. We did a bottom fishing charter one year, an while they were filleting our fish, my son and I walked around in the bay right there behind your campsite and almost limited out on Cockles. We even scored a few keeper crab, as they just wander around and you can just grab them. Fun stuff!! So happy you guys were able to experience the Oregon coast crab fishery on such a nice day. It can be wet, cold and brutally windy otherwise

[@yagirlkb]

This makes me want to go crabbing now! Looked SO fun!!

[@danschaefer6124]

Ya that’s the life 👍👍 crabbing looked great…

[@janevalentine6391]

Great video...looked like so much fun crabbing...I want some of those crab cakes, Yum... and the sunset was sensational.

[@ramonapuckett3059]

Great video, loved all the scenery! Crabbing looks like so much fun! Can’t wait to see your next video ❤

[@chiefenumclaw7960]

Nothing beats the PNW in summer.

[@clm3436]

Our paths were crisscrossing this week☺️ We camp for free in the Siuslaw National Forest

[@lindawalsh3469]

What a great day you two had.. I actually learned a lot because I didn't know anything about catching crabs.. How fun that would be..Kelly did a great job both driving and pulling up the crab cage's... You guys are awesome I always look forward to your video's.. Be safe and travel on

[@lynnebunning7273]

What a life what a day What a feed. One lobster 🦞 better than none. A perfect day. There’s not one video that I have not enjoyed. Thanks for letting us be a part ‘of the best day off your life’. Cheers Lynne from Victoria Australia 🇦🇺🐨❤️💙🌸👍🏻⭐️😀

[@Bakedpotroast]

You are the best cook I’ve ever watched. You need to open up a food truck ❤

[@jessys9868]

Another wonderful day! I love crab more than lobster, so this was particularly fun to watch.

[@MISCIFMAKER]

Crossed paths spent 4 days near Newport running from tripple digits in the sierras head north to Astoria now resupply head SE . Peace out

[@brentwentfishing]

Awesome sunset shot y'all. 😃😎

[@Potweeh]

You living the life ❤

[@kerrischuh8000]

I love crab. You guys are so lucky!

[@kanaletumlinson]

Always a great time crabbing on the beautiful Oregon coast especially when the weather is like this.. my first crab trap drop is to search for crabs, if I pull up a decent amount I’ll drop the trap right back down then try to concentrate in that area. You guys did just that like pros! Great video thanks for sharing, Kelly’s is an awesome place! You guys could also throw some crab rings or traps from the dock on the right hand side where your camping, I’ve gotten some keeper of there several times. A poplar spot 12 Ave dock!

[@csofmaine]

Great vlog! That sunset...wow

[@sunflowerroark5170]

It's nice to catch up with you guys again. It's miserable in Arkansas right now. Have fun out there.

[@robinelaine0816]

That looks like so much fun!

[@debmann5168]

Fantastic video. Love the beginning drone shot and the ending sunset. I absolutely love the west coast. Beautiful area and you guys are glowing with happiness!!!

[@mouserz9547]

You need to try Gracie Sea Hag in Depot Bay, Oregon. Best clam Chowder you'll ever have.

[@vision1219]

Super sweet, good job guys

[@mariomarez2223]

Omg brought back memories! Only time I went crabbing was at a fiends lake PS in Wa. It was the best tasting crab right into the boiler with some steaks.

[@azdesertrat9104]

I used to fly into Portland every year just to get my halibut and wild Alaskan salmon fix! I hate Atlantic fish, to me that's just farmed fish! YUCK! I miss those pacific northwest coastal areas, SO beautiful! Thanks for sharing! Love your channel ♥

[@kylekislingbury36]

I heard the Portland area is really nice!

[@JorgeGonzalez-sm9ld]

It was nice until antifa and the democrats shit on this place.

[@crabbingclammingboatcampin4962]

​@@JorgeGonzalez-sm9ld Dems destroyed Portland. I lived there in the early 70's. Portland was great, and safe, back then. Now, it's a dangerous S#$t hole.
