Loading Up on CRABS in a ROADSIDE DITCH (CATCH AND COOK)

In this video I went out to catch crabs in a roadside ditch.
To get the firepit visit www.bonslife.com

We all need to start catching, hunting and growing our own food, so we never forget where food comes from, which is the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

From the UK. You Americans From down south are great at what you do ❤

[@bruce2104]

I used to catch crabs like that when i lived in tampa.it was fun non stop excitement for hours.

[@airik0049]

Im not sure how this popped up on my suggested videos but im glad it did. You sure had me laughing good. Keep up the good content

[@OutsidetheLevees]

That’s awesome glad you liked it

[@wellbbq]

Growing up New Orleans ain't nothing better!!! Now I homesick..

[@philmccumbee6938]

You make it look so easy. I still haveSt Bernard Parrish on my bucket list. Great video.

[@larrystephens7437]

That Bons fire pit is nice. Looks like you can spin that grate to help with temp management as well. Another great looking meal!

[@popeye2674]

Good show jared as always 😎

[@lclee2708]

Bro, I love your vids. I’m from uptown New Orleans, but I’ve spent a lot of time in the parish a few years back with some friends. You might know my guys, Tracy and Darryl, we call Darryl D Money, he’s a DJ and he’s actually from Luling. I’m just getting back into fishing, I love seafood and it’s just relaxing just to get on the water. Keep sharing your stories bro, I’m learning a lot from your vids. Keep teaching those boys how to do it, like seeing the little learning those valuable lessons. ✌️

[@RedlineOutdoors]

My kids would love to do that!! Great video bruh

[@philrodgers8323]

I'm coming to Charlmette this Friday, Nov 10th, would like to do some fishing with you if possible, I'll be there till the 16th 🎣

[@gradybrowning3976]

That was a Super nice Pit and Grill!

[@markm1832]

A savory sauce would be awesome with that presentation.

[@kingjamesgorden3]

That Kinders seasoning is what’s up. Great video, keep up the good work!

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Thank you my friend

[@user-cv9ie9xk2r]

Nice mess of crabs that you caught. I really like that fire pit I bet a couple of young Nutria would cook great on it. You know us Cajun’s Just Love to eat wildlife keep up with the great videos.👍

[@williamlittle2814]

Jared all your plates are missing is a simple hollandaise sauce or some sort of gravy…you pattern a signature sauce like that buddy and you’re gonna have people beating down your door for your food. My advice is ask a local chef to guest spot a catch clean and cook to get his experience and friendship to help elevate your cooking. Before too long you’re gonna be a rich KZbin sensation! Keep it up friend.

[@pisathongsonlone3935]

I use to catch crawfish using that method, ol stick line and chicken. This takes me back

[@davidburke709]

A few years back I was down in Perdido and we caught a late season Jimmy run. Big, old Jimmies, mean as Hell and some monsters among them - over 7 1/2 inches and I take them seriously - all on a hand line. And even though they were old and some were yellow-bellies, they had the sweetest backfin I ever tasted and they were loaded with it. We also netted a few swimming doublers. When they separated, I released the sook. Felt bad about breaking up the honeymoon!

[@tonydudley5894]

You’re on Point. I’ve had that meal before. I call it a Slop and Mud 😊. Way better than surf and turf.

[@dexterdanieltnt]

Growing up in Trinidad in the Caribbean we did the same thing in small rivers - great fun !!

[@gradybrowning3976]

You was on them Crabs today Boy!!!

[@000Sunshine82]

Awesome video ❤

[@davidstokes925]

Awesome video!

[@kennethdavis459]

Great crab 🦀 video

[@247cmbcmb]

Thank you for the video😊

[@robertgoffjr2450]

That’s how I always did it, out in Irish bayou and salt bayou, tight line is the only way but sometimes you gotta watch for the gators.

[@larrylong2402]

Love that pit!!!!

[@TheworldiseffdUP]

The reason it's smokeless is because there is so many ventilation holes, the more ventilation, the more flame, but it will burn wood faster because of the air, the bigger the flame, the less smoke.

[@stevebenoit6649]

One of my favorites with asparagus is take three and wrap them with a thin slice of bacon. When the bacon is cooked so is the asparagus. And on natural wood!

[@randy1ization]

get u 2 baskets put the little ones in one basket, the big in the other, before u leave, put the little ones back, that way you dont keep catching the same small ones,.

[@squamishfish]

Greetings from Vancouver Canada, I love using Chicken but instead of using legs and expensive parts ask the butcher for the scraps left over after cutting the chicken , a lot of butchers sell the scraps for soups in big bags very cheap , they work very well

[@sharonnycum5414]

I used to live in North Myrtle Beach and I had a dock on the waterway. I would throw crab traps with chicken in it before work and after work I would go back and get up to 20 to 40 crabs. I would clean them put them in the freezer and my mom made a crab casserole that was so good.

[@AnaFernandez-jp5uh]

That looks like fun.

[@patrickgreen2361]

Question- you threw the same bait, same lines attached, but the last one made a very different thumping sound/noise when hitting water. Interesting.

[@texasproducepatch4000]

Great video my friend. Makes me won’t to go crabbing. So, I will Nov.8th ,6:30 am I will be on my way. Thanks.

[@robertmcgreevy2048]

This is my childhood here. The only difference is that everything he is keeping we would have tossed back. we would catch a bussell baskett FULL of 8 inch point to point in an afternoon,

[@stevebenoit6649]

The dogs are excited and restless waiting for the cook

[@kennithsebert7779]

How many crabs are you allowed to have. I watch your videos all the time here in Pennsylvania. Be safe, God bless to you and your family Ken from Pennsylvania.

[@frilockthewarlock]

We can bag 12 dozen a day per crabber in Louisiana

[@eustatic3832]

I think your number of traps is also limited. At some point, you are making commerce and need to up your license

[@allenscott19832008]

​@@eustatic3832 10 trap limit

[@pittroadsixzeroseven]

My Mom caught a flounder in her crab net one time. It was for supper.

[@randy1ization]

have you tried crab patties with the zattarains crab cake mix? we like to use crappie with the mix here in TX.. You can use any kind of fish, and its a great taste.

[@AuditRecon]

It's hard to watch the end of the video because it makes me hungry. Subbed after watching the Nutria video.

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Thank you so much

[@alligatorkitchen]

Yeee, I love grilled food!🔥

[@cbx500cbx]

Used to live on golden isle drive. I crabed with my dad in the fifties at port everglades.

[@robmetcalfe8902]

Awesome bro

[@deathpunchdingo2981]

This is strangely mesmerizing.

[@OutsidetheLevees]

lol thank you

[@bradpower9057]

you ever worry about gators while doing this from land with no protection from a boat? and i’d love to get about 3 dozen please. love the content from up here in new jersey!❤

[@baconsoutdoors8435]

Hey man definitely try turkey necks with zip ties definitely catches more than chicken idk if it bc it’s bloodier or something it’s like crab magic

[@donaldlewisreynoldsjr2585]

Did line fishing for crab on my Grampys lobster boat back in the 70's in Portsmouth, NH ..he had 3 boats he built by hand...had only 7 fingers too....

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Man that’s awesome memories

[@madcrabber1113]

I always thought old nasty chicken was the best bait for Blue Crab here in Maryland. I did an experiment with older chicken vs fresh chicken on 1200 ft trotlines placed about 25 ft. apart on several occasions and found that the fresh chicken outperformed the smelly by about 5 to 1.

[@jorgegalicia7666]

What net are you using

[@ChristopherSibert]

Trading old chicken meat for new crab meat, I wish this worked everywhere! Not in Minnesota 😉🤣

[@brianlisemby5926]

Where is this at in Louisiana, I've been wanting to do this so bad

[@drew-shourd]

Retired Chef here, ya dun gud sun, ya dun gud

[@OutsidetheLevees]

That means a lot man thank you

[@michaelmosley254]

Awesome have you watched your buddy vinnie missing them squirrels don't hack on him to bad it's the shells

[@thomaslampl8525]

Lol

[@CAROLINA29488]

You need to scoop behind the net to catch them better

[@bigcartoonyIIV]

just think I bought some of these from the hut in Westwego. I def need to find me a lucky hole

[@ceemee331]

pretty cool

[@user-xu7qi8vs6x]

Nothing beats meat cooked over coals like that great fire pit great crab Now I’m hungry again 😂

[@thomaslampl8525]

My brother.. You speak my language. I'm looking to put together a trip to your neck of the woods for a few a my buds in mid January. What can we look tk get into as far as shrimping, crabbing, fishing and hunting. Probably stay for a week. Any suggestions greatly appreciated

[@thaoneandonlyTupuff]

What you have her my friend is a PORK CHOP, if you want something that affordable and very very good to eat try a real St. Louis style PORK STEAK and have a pork butt cut into 1” thick steaks it’s has much more marbling a nice fat cap on the edge and will cook and finish just like a beef steak you will love it!

[@randyruney5704]

Great video. Never thought about using crabs as a topping. Looks good

[@johncuervo3019]

I really like that fire pit. Needs a lid and I'd buy it

[@rayminthecat]

Up in Grand lake Oklahoma we don't have crabs or gators-just bass, crappie, and catfish.

[@krazy9000]

I just watched this whole video and didn't even realize who i was watching! What's up brah!

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Sup man thank you for watching

[@charlessarver8350]

One of those females looked like a buster. A little trick my Uncle taught me was put the bait inside a piece of pantyhose. They can't tear the bait up as fast and it makes it a little harder her them to let go. The claws kinda hang up in the hose.

[@samphilipp4997]

What are your pups names?

[@BilltheTulaneGuy]

Droplining for crabs. Better be some big crabs.

[@Trust_but_Verify]

How do you test if the water is not contaminated so the crab isn't contaminated with heavy metals or other chemicals?

[@eustatic3832]

There are advisories for certain bodies of water, and regular testing

[@bellianamicrofarm9174]

Here in SAwe put the bait in women's stockings nylon or silk is good. The crabs get themselves caught in the stalkings and can't get away.

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Great idea catch them all

[@FlipandTheBlueMule]

New subscriber from YAWT YAWT

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Thanks for the sub

[@nhwnhw02]

Always used chicken necks and backs for crabbing. Pieces with lots of skin seemed to work the best. I'd eat those drumsticks myself...

[@watduh123]

Is it clean and safe to eat stuff close to car roads?. Pollution?

[@OutsidetheLevees]

So far so good

[@jailbaitandtackleoutdoors]

Nice video, thanks for sharing! Have you ever tried pigs feet for bait? Very tough and oily.

[@pulsatingsausageboy2076]

If you can find yourself some old panty hose and put your bait inside that will keep them from stealing it.

[@normandodd8406]

mmmm good crabs 😊

[@alexhawkins3174]

When water is clear put net in water beforehand and pull crab on to net so they don't see the movement

[@pittroadsixzeroseven]

Rockerfellas is a great place to crab in Louisiana

[@pamdimitrio4972]

Big crabs. Good eating Send some my way 😅

[@yeshuaadoneinu436]

can you seine net them?

[@stanwiggins3423]

Many, many years ago I helped my ex-brother in law run his commercial crab traps and gill net (back when you could legally have them in the Bay). We put quite a few boxes of live crab in his walk-in cooler and kept 10 dozen crabs for ourselves. My ex mother-in-law had an old roller set from an ancient wringer washing machine and we tore the top shell and main claws off the crabs, put them in large wash tubs with ice and water, then waited an hour or so for the crabs to get totally chilled. Then we broke each crab in half and put the legs into the wringer with the top of the crab facing up and ran the crabs through the wringer with less than 1/2" gap between the rollers. When it was all done, we had a total of 10 one-pound butter containers of pure crab meat plus all those big claws to split among the family. It was work, but it was definitely worth it.

[@jdspencer4297]

Hollandaise sauce would be great

[@hogkillerjp]

excellente facon d'attraper les crabes !!!!

[@joelblair8339]

Not bad is right. I bet that was delicious.

[@andrepatterson7058]

👍🏽👍🏽

[@jessielouviere433]

on my ring nets i made a wire mesh cage to stuff my chicken in and zip tie it to the net so they cant steal the bait

[@marthamcconaughey255]

Saw you taking care of Yawt Yawt and Red. Rat spaghetti!! What do you do with the rest of those Rats. Looking forward to following your channel.

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Thank you so much for taking his recommendation

[@user-sg6rs4xp9y]

Why does everybody purchase chicken to go crabbing? I can never understand this. Crab will eat almost anything. "Road kill is perfect bait and its free. I trap for a living up here in the Pacific Northwest and I use all of the critters I catch for bait when trapping crab. I hope to visit your area this year. I have got to try some of those ditches.

[@AK47z]

Crab > Lobster.🤤

[@danmcbride2520]

I have a friend who lives at Chalmette, Im from where Justin Wilson used to say, way up north Shreveport. We were talking last week about coming down and mabe get to meet and fish with you and mabe the Pelican Bone . I need to no what the salt water will do to our freah water outboards I no yall like the stern drive air cooled moters andf thay do real good, they are just so loud, I no u havw had some esperence with that and i would appreciate ur oppenion or mabe u could reccomend who to talk to, Keep up the good work

[@OutsidetheLevees]

I would just flush the outboard after every trip. You should be fine. Have fun!

[@phillipmussio8157]

What’s the dogs names

[@anthonygee7198]

After catching the crabs, you should send the small ones on the opposite end of the ditch so you don’t catch them again

[@LD__]

😋

[@FlipandTheBlueMule]

Have you ever soaked your Asparagus in a Italian salad dressin over night b4 bbqing ? It is soooo good

[@user-lc1zy9tf5o]

Tie magic thread around the chicken. There claws will get stuck on it.

[@MuzacMark1960]

So this is salt water, correct?

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Brackish

[@robertchampagne4736]

Can you tell us the location of the Ditch?

[@haifive04]

Curious about the same. Location of this area?

[@eustatic3832]

Heh heh

[@CAROLINA29488]

Scoop behind the chicken excuse me they swim backwards so it's a better chance to net them

[@pastorkristoffer4074]

Jared, why you hate the chicken? Is good bait couyon.

[@pastorkristoffer4074]

Mus be jus the fact you had to buy bait. Keep up the entertainment mon ami!

[@pastorkristoffer4074]

Dats my favorite way to catch dem blues

[@ballistic350]

Take us gator hunting and catch and clean and cook

[@jbbrown7907]
