Thanks, we're glad you enjoy our videos

[@teresaandtimraidt9076]

Having to look back on y’all. I find the most of your videos amazing. Makes me wish I was still a kid in Jacksonville crabbing the St. John’s next to the school playground.

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

That's what I think when we're fishing or crabbing, it makes me feel like a kid again. I was always on the water when I was young, I bought my first boat when I was 10 and had a ball. Thanks again for Watching

[@terrencetwohig7547]

I watch you two every day, when My Wife n I got Married in Avon Park Fla. back in 1982, we bought the blue crab for $5 a dozen, now unfortunately I Retired in Cal, “which I Hate”, we only have the Reds n Dungies, Blues are soo sweet, God Bless You both. I’m a fan for life🤗

I just watched your new video and I’m sitting here wanting those crab stuffed shrimp now ! I was so happy to see your new video out today. Have you guys ever thought of making a cookbook of all your recipes? I’d be the first to order it. 🥰. Thank you for sharing your great adventures and your awesome recipes. Take care! 🙏

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

Thank you very much, we've thought about a cookbook. Try that stuffed shrimp recipe I'm sure you'll like it also it's not very hard to butterfly the shrimp first. Thanks for Watching

Enjoyed your video. Those roasted tomatoes looked good also. Maybe you can also include how to prepare the whole meal.

We'll try that the next time we make them. Thanks for Watching

Boy she sure knows her stuff I make it same way only differance I add melted butter but she is spot on with this recipe great job your lucky to have such a good cook she knows I can tell

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

You're right she's a good cook sometimes to good, it's hard not to over eat. Today was homemade bread, stuffed black Drum fish with blue crab meat and a King Cake for Mardi Gras. In a future video. Thanks for Watching

I live near the st John's up by DeLand..Not sure if I'm too far north

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

We catch them in lake George

[@GYMGUYFE]

Incredible video! Just moved to Florida near Jacksonville from Maryland and was so happy to see blue crabs here! What are the best months for crabbing here?

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

We catch Blue crabs all year in the St Johns River and don't forget Stone Crab season. Good luck with your crabbing and Thanks for Watching our videos

[@joybickerstaff194]

@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors Wow, that is awesome that u can go crabbing all year, I thought it was a seasonal thing, how much does the permit/license cost??

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

We're both 75 so it's free

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

The license is free when you turn 65 in Florida

[@teamwildoner-northeastflor3216]

I’m from Maryland too! Been here 7 years, live in at Augustine fl. Havnt tried crabbing yet but looks like i need to start!

[@MrRangerRoy]

Where do you get your crab traps? Great videos. Thanks

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

3 Kings Crab Traps in Salt Springs FL. And Rising Sun Crab Traps in Mississippi

[@MrRangerRoy]

Thank you so much and God bless.

[@davidstokes925]

WOW! The stuffed shrimp looked delicious! Question, is there any difference in taste between the crabs you catch in the St John’s R and the ones you catch handlining. St John’s water looks so much cleaner. Thanks for the video my friends!

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

There is a slight difference in taste in the crabs we catch in saltwater compared to the ones we catch in freshwater.

[@howardbodiford7130]

What size pot do you use , when you’re cooking on the camp stove ?

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

It was a gift from our son but I think it's 7 1/2 quarts and it came from Amazon. Thanks for Watching our videos

[@howardbodiford7130]

@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors thanks , I enjoy your videos , you inspire me to go crabbing , been three times and haven’t got a keeper yet ! They are too small .

[@Rowdymotmot]

I agree with Merry Apple. I would love a cook book too. How big is your steamer? I was thinking of getting one. Your adventures look like so much fun. I do like crabbing and when we went to Galveston we caught over 100 crabs. What bait do you guys like to use? I used some pin fish we caught and cans of tuna fish and it worked well. Looking forward to more videos. Thank you for sharing ideas on how to cook the seafood you catch. I have several written down and will try them in the Spring when we go to Galveston again.

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

We're thinking about a cookbook. For bait most of the time we use what is left over when we clean our fish and pin fish also. That pot was 12 quarts. Enjoy your crabbing and fishing. Thanks a lot for Watching

Anyone know how far south you can catch crabs on the river.

We caught some a little north of Astor. Thanks for Watching

I'd video him and call FWC

[@waynegrant9849]

Curious ,crabs live in brackish or salt water ,bass live in fresh water ,how can they be crabbing where bass live?

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

We also crab in the St Johns River and there's a lot of bass there the same with the Suwannee River. Thanks for Watching

Where are you located? Thanks again for Watching

[@outdoorswithtim.576]

I always enjoy watching your crabbing videos. Has someone myself who is experienced with pulling crab pots and setting crab pots. May I recommend that you put the Rope on the iron and the Crab Pot. Putting the Rope on the iron and the Crab Pot and making your tie connection at the iron and the Crab Pot takes all of the stress off of The Crab Pot when pulling it up.

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

Your right, that makes sense. Thanks a lot for Watching

[@Annapolisprep]

Is trotline crabbing legal in Florida?

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

Yes, I always wanted to try it. Thanks a lot for Watching

[@98shon98]

I thought once you took the shell off, they were instantly dead. I noticed one that was just flapping its legs after the tp shell was taken off . Does that cause them any pain when dispatching them this way? Have you ever thought about putting them on ice first to put them to sleep before dispatching them? I can't stand for ANY animal or even little creatures to suffer. Once, when I was visiting my husband's family, some people came over that caught some fush. They started scaling them when they were still alive. I had to go inside. It made me nauseous.

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

They do the same thing when we put them on ice, it's the nerves. Thanks a lot for Watching

[@98shon98]

@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors OH, I'm sorry. I didn't know you put them on ice first.

I watch all your shows but can't get the volume up anymore from my side even when your fishing. Can you turn up your volume please? I am a crabber, too!

South of Palatka. Thanks again for Watching

[@alessandromoratto4737]

in Italy in the last two years we have been invaded by these blue crabs. each person with just 40 cages takes at least a quintal a day. Here males pay 15 euros per kilo and females 8. All the Chinese buy them.

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

Are they native to Italy? That's a good thing they're good eating. Nice hearing from Italy

[@alessandromoratto4737]

@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors They say they arrived here in the ballast tanks of merchant ships from the USA. Then some Italians contacted Mariland fishermen about how to make cages. There are people here who only make cages for work. I make one in 40 minutes.

[@brinkee7674]

#StuffedGeezers How come the lovely lady does all the hard work? Trained them well didn't you. You split the wrong side of the shrimp, cut from underside through to the back leaving just abit. Cut far enough to remove vein

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

She likes to pull the traps she considers pulling the traps fun not work and she doesn't like running the boats. That's how we always prepared our shrimp it works for us. Thanks a lot for Watching

[@brinkee7674]

@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors I do my shrimp like that sometimes but the other way cups it better. I know what she means with the traps, plus use it or you loose it. My great Grandmother did work on the farm till she was 92. Keep up the good work, do you do any fishing?(rod n reel)
