Crabbing Tuckerton, NJ - 13 Keepers

#crabbing #newjersey #Tuckerton #fishing
Original plan was to go to 7 Bridges but it was too crowded so plan B, Green Street Park, which was only a couple minutes away.
It started really slow but eventually picked up. Had a great time. Weather was good and I met a lot of really nice people.

Another great day! I was a little worried at the start but thankfully it picked up. I also learned how to make a thumbnail! Sorry for the smudge on the lens, have to learn to keep the lens clean.

It was a great day! Met a lot of nice people.

@@slingshot3238 Yeah, lots of good folks there. Late in the summer there’s a lot of snappers there too, good fishing😊

[@slingshot3238]

@@thandastones888 I'll need to make sure to go there in September. What do you use for bait to catch snapper? I was trying minnows, squid and frozen shrimp last weekend but I guess I'm a bit early.

[@thandastones888]

@@slingshot3238 There will be old timers in that place catching bait, like spearings with a net. They would gladly give anyone fishing. Nice folks. That’s what we ended up using. Live spearings.

Nice Haul!

[@slingshot3238]

I got excited when it picked up. Maybe the crabs are coming back there.

Keep getting skunked in Maryland. Yet Jersey has crab. Wild. 😅

Loved the Video!! Everyone is getting better! That was nice to let the boy take a picture of the Turtle - he said it was sort of like his "Lucky Charm" or something. Your new fishing rod and reel are keepers too...really fancy!!! 🤩

[@slingshot3238]

Love the new rod. The eyelet are very sturdy and it looks like it should handle whatever I might hook. No more stingrays spooling out all my line. Lol. They were looking all over for turtles and were upset they weren't finding any so when I pulled one up it seemed to brighten their day.

Great Job Bro. Looks like a great spot and great weather.

[@slingshot3238]

Thanks! It is a nice spot. I like being able to park 10 feet away too.

[@Bass59]

I'm glad I haven't caught any turtles in my traps yet but I did see a couple of sea turtles swimming by the pier right buy me when I go crabbing little guys with the little flaps and I usually see a lot of cow nose rays

Hello again see also what I do with my crab nets I put a combination I put half a bunker and I tied him in a trap I do a little combination thing you know

[@word-is-bond7901]

Nice video. What bait do you think works better I. Your experience. The bunker or chicken? Also, was the bunker fresh or frozen? Thanks!

[@slingshot3238]

It was frozen. In my opinion the bunker works a little better than the chicken but it gets torn apart quickly, especially if there are turtles in the area. They will still go after the chicken but they have a more difficult time ripping it apart. Also, chicken drumsticks are much cheaper. So what works better isn’t necessarily the better bait. I would stick with drumsticks.

@@slingshot3238 thanks for the insight!

[@Bass59]

The area looks like a good fluke area

[@alexdombrowski1878]

try cooked corn on the cob

[@slingshot3238]

As bait? I’ll try anything if it will catch more crabs. 🦀

[@robertlosasso4222]

I caught bigger crabs in an outhouse .
