My wife, 5 year old and and I got into crabbing when we lived in South Carolina. What a family experience..and delicious too. Miss those blue crabs. I live vicariously through others watching videos like these until I can get back out that way. lol Nice work!

I love this video. Thanks for sharing. I love crabs and the fact that you folks can go right out and catch your own and live off the land (water) has got to be great. I've had crabs from all over but Chesapeake bay crabs are the best. Thanks again for sharing your piece of happiness.

I never did a trot line in sequence like this, this is awesome. I grew up in Maryland, but as a kid I was generally crabbed solo while the adults talked, drank beer and sent one off on a run to pick up a few dozen if I struck out* :) I fondly remember tying single necks to strings and hanging them off of every piling on the pier and painstakingly reeling them in with a net in the other hand, though. Nothing sucked worse than spending five ten minutes gently tugging that line by hand and she sees your net and bails. *This sounds callous at first, but this was around Hendorson’s wharf in the middle of Fell’s Point. Looking back, Dad probably threw anything I caught out of that nasty water back and let me feel like the big man who caught dinner.

Blue crabs are by far the best tasting crab. Once you get used to eating blue crabs you'll find other crabs just don't taste as good - especially King or Dungeness will then taste fishy.

Kyle Roberts he never said anything about “dunegness Crabs”. All he said was “Blue Crabs are the best tasting crab, and once you get used to eating blue crabs other crabs like King or Dungeness crabs taste fishy”. And he’s correct I’m born and raised in Maryland. Chesapeake Bay has a lot Blue crabs but we import many of our Blue crabs from Louisiana.

I've never seen crabs caught by that method before. You usually see the boxy traps that stay on the bottom. If I'm seeing this right, there are lots of hooks on the line and each hook has some sort of bait on it. Is the line laying on the bottom or is it suspended in the water? The crabs swim up and grab onto the bait?
@airecraft1
@airecraft1 8 жыл бұрын
You are close the bait is tied to the line with a slip knot ,some lines have a short bungee that the bait is tied to. The line lays on the bottom , when you check it you lift it to a hook on the boat , as you drive along the rope lifts the crabs off the bottom. Thanks for watching

Hi SpiritBear12, Crabs are very greedy feeders and will hang onto bait to the end because of it. I like to play with the little crabs because they are so feisty. I've had them raise up out of the water to catch the bait when I lift it and they were just snapping those tiny claws, trying to catch it. So cute. We have lived in Louisiana for most of our lives, now, and Gulf Coast crabs are delicious, too, but so expensive. There was a tiny crab on my line and I noticed it only had one claw, so I let it stuff its little mouth all it wanted. The only thing it couldn't do was hang onto the bait while it stuffed it's little mouth and that's why I let it have the bait to eat. :D We were crabbing along the shore at the Rockefeller Reserve with the grandkids and our daughter at the time.
@mikedavitt7604
@mikedavitt7604 8 жыл бұрын
Couple suggestions, your line seems a bit too tight , run it so that you can't see the line coming up in front of your boat because a lot of crabs drop before you even see them. Dip the crabs between the boat and line not over it and don't lift up when bringing the net out of water hitting your line , good way to get your net snagged on the line , dip down and toward boat then up. Snood lines off your trotline also helps keep the crabs lower in water so they don't get spooked by the sun etc.

I didn't see any monsters? Back in the mid '50s They made a square/cube wire crab trap. It was about 9 x 9 x 9 inches and all four sides folded out when it hit bottom. As a boy I crabbed Glebe Creek; about 6 miles south of Annapolis. One day I pulled up my trap and didn't recognize what was in it; mainly because it was so big the sides wouldn't close up. It happened to be the largest blue I have ever seen. In order to prevent the sides from closing it had to be bigger than the trap. It was covered with so much slime I didn't want to mess with it and I threw it back.

Sometime in the 50s while crabbing in Glebe Creek using a box trap I caught a crab so big the doors on the trap wouldn't close. The crab was covered in a mossy looking slime and was so different I threw it back. Are you guys using eel on the line? It's one of the longest lasting baits available. Later in life I also used it for trapping.

I've been doing best in 2'-5' of water . If you can find a shallow edge next to a drop off all the better. I moved into 8-14' of water in October when the water temp dropped I'm not familiar with eastern shore spots maybe one day I'll meet you over there , Good luck

I live in North Carolina now but I'm originally from Damascus Maryland the absolute fastest way to get a family together is to steam blue crabs in they damn sure not be females I love blue crap I wish I could get them here where I live which is in Charlotte we don't have anywhere that sells blue crabs what you said because North Carolina exports a lot of blue crab I miss sitting with my family and eating blue crab I could eat blue crab every day of the week for breakfast lunch and dinner it is definitely a delicacy there's nothing like having some jimmies or some surprise half soft shell crabs in your bushel

Lived my life in MD, near the bay. Love blue crabs. Maybe it's just the camera or angle or whatever but your haul looks like tiny little midgets. Should be a crime to harvest babies like that, just to make a lousy misleading video for KZbin. You should have tossed them back and left them to fully grow. The greed in your commentary is obvious, and disgusting.
