FORAGING IN THE UK FOR LOBSTERS & CRABS | PRAWNS | FISHING - CAMPING CATCH & COOK WITH TAOUTDOORS

I headed to the coast for an overnighter armed with homemade crab nets, in search of some spider crabs, lobsters and some coastal foraging. With the aid of an inflatable kayak, I was able to drop the nets out about 50m from the shore, checking them every 30-60min. The aim was to pull up the net while the creatures were feeding on the bait….sounds easy, huh?
Mike from TA OUTDOORS joined me for the afternoon and we did some fishing, more crab netting and some free diving (snorkeling).
I slept in a Bivvy which wasn't too bad as the night temperature was nice and mild.
Thanks for watching!

[@ArielleViking]

Awesome catch and cook, I never liked the "dead man's fingers" in the crab. Oh my, when you fell in the drink 🤭 Interesting about the lobster's claws. I loved seeing the night fishing. Fresh prawns, lobster, crab and squid are all very delicious. Great underwater footage too. ❤

[@elsathal7359]

Thank you for sharing this 💞

Great video. Keep safe, mate.

[@mattyp80]

you need two things chap: a pair of fins (doesn't have to be free diving ones!) and a weight belt as it will make your underwater exploration much easier!!

[@clivewarren780]

You remind me of orlando bloom a lot for some reason haha. Great video loved the cooking and eating!

[@g.e.1432]

Fun video, and you have nice hands.

[@davidfisher4182]

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Thanks, will do!

[@mariejeanneengelborghs7654]

That lime was still alive😂😂😂🔝👍

[@pedropedroztravels8272]

In Australia we cook up our crabs in sea water. Give it a go, save your drinking water. Cheers

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

That's a great idea!

[@michellesovereign4564]

Beer is great too Edit..use a cheap one it works fine for this purpose

[@gkeyman565]

Nice video, interesting pontoon boat, but think if you put a heavy plastic/vinyl tarp up and around the pontoons you could enclose them and make sort of a Conoe, then you could carry stuff and not drop it through the middle, and it would be temporary.

[@gr8rgazza]

Great video Dustin. We tried a bit of fishing on the east coast this weekend but didnt catch anything.

[@jamiegraves7393]

here in America we use some string and chicken necks and you throw it out and pull it in slow when you get it the edge you use a net works great for crabs

[@elsathal7359]

Hello from Fruitville,FL

We have 3 cruise ships floating out at sea here in the Firth of Forth. Free parking out there where as it cost a lot to park at a port apparently (Y)

The worlds best seasoning for shellfish is Old Bay Seasoning. Trust me.

[@michellesovereign4564]

@Andy M yes..so many Americans don't seem to know that lol

[@chrisbarker270]

Not to bad for the first night's dinner.

[@patrickhathaway6178]

Enjoy

[@chardblack]

Great video. Love all the cooking you do. Love to see more overnighters. The crab in the eye looked nasty hope your eye was OK, looked like you were suffering a bit with it the next day?

[@Shaden0040]

In MIke's video I saw some beautiful rounded stones and pebbles between quarters and fist sized. I'd pay good money for a small box of a couple of the fist sized stone and many of the smaller ones and some pea sized gravel and smaller sand. Would be great for an aquarium! Not seen any drift wood though on the beach.

[@Loopylulu8]

Can't see much when u r on the kayak, the sun just glares into the camera! Luv your vids though hun x

[@amyloo9716]

[@MrLooj69]

Hi Dustin, just wondering where this was? I'm in Hampshire ( Winchester ) and want to take my nephew for his first sea fishing trip. Was looking for somewhere to use light tackle, preferably to do lure fishing . Any hints or tips will be hugely appreciated !!

[@alienac5433]

What beach is this/where in the UK? :)

[@Shaden0040]

30C = 86 F dang that is HOT!

[@stevenhb1993]

[@Mitchconors]

[@youngg6658]

[@Mitchconors]

By any chance, would you be willing to share where to get that inflatable pontoon? I really like the pack ability.

[@deviousdoll82]

Kayacat

[@iantowers6972]

Always remember to check under there tails as females hold there eggs under there tails,also the females have a wider slightly flatter tail than the males do!!!

[@ekdromoi]

wasnt any of the kelp that was down in the water edible?

[@gaurtaukwhiteangel5779]

pretty bad when you have to share, that big crab which you caught before the other guy got there.

[@hightreegarden]

how do you transport your kayak? I want to do this but don't drive haha.

[@deviousdoll82]

It looks like an inflatable so backpack works on public transportation or rides rideshare services.

[@richardtaihitu6157]

50:37 How hard is it to pull that crab trap? Until your canoe overturned? for the content huh?

[@MichaelSalton]

Where is this

[@mattyp80]

that wouldn't be a good thing to divulge as it wouldn't be just them for very long! ;-)

[@MichaelSalton]

@@mattyp80 very true sir how in fact silly of me to ask

[@kimseger5794]

seen on naked and afraed make a lobster trap with wolven sticks big hole so they can get in

[@saraskold9631]
