[@mariacambre8971]

Hi Sam & Joyce, Looks like you hit the jackpot of females that day. I'm happy you had enough to make a dinner. That's a new kind of way to cook the crabs, I've definitely got to try this way to cook my crabs. I've got some in my freezer so I just need the Paul Newman's Salsa. Thanks for the video.

Did I see a stovetop percolator coffee pot? Haven’t seen one of those since I was young. The smell of coffee percolating is such a wonderful scent!

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

We use it every morning, we also love that smell. Thanks for Watching our videos

[@luciad5988]

Stone crab claws are my favorite treat. So expensive though 😬. I can’t wait to see you guys make crab pizza!

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

We want to try blue crab pizza, we never made it before, I'll have to pick some crabs. Stone crabs are good, if we can get a nice day we'll set our stone crab traps in the Gulf that's where we catch the most and the largest

[@sandrajones3921]

Looks delicious as usual keep up the great videos I really love watching your TV hope you both had a great birthday

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

Thanks Sandra, we did

[@welovesaltwater]

That was a lot of egg bearing crabs, glad you were able to keep enough for dinner. Love the presentation on that recipe, you’re right , the tomatoes look like the crab shells 😂 looked delicious, we love our tomatoes in the oven. Great video 😊

Thank you, those crabs did turn out good and they were full of meat. Thanks a lot for Watching

[@oceandeepfishing4555]

Hello Sam and Joyce. Well I just wanted to tell you I went crabbing Sunday. Did ok. Video coming out soon. But I used Joyce's blue crab cakes recipe tonight and it really turned out good. Thanks for the video. Definitely doing it again.

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

Ed, Glad the recipe worked out for you. Looking forward to the video.

[@denisedill3552]

I loved the way those crabs looked when they came out of the oven! Looked like something from a fancy restaurant! Delicious! Sponge females look so weird, think of the number of crablets they will produce❤ Thanks for the Video:) P.s. if there's any mud around I'll usually find it with my clothes😂

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

Joyce and I always find the mud especially shrimping lol.

[@josmith801]

Sam & Joyce, Your crabbing videos bring back fond memories of my parents, sisters & I crabbing in Florida. Joyce, I love your recipes & wished you did a video on your bread & rolls. Are there any videos on your gem hunting & gold panning? Thank you for the wonderful memories. Take care, Jo & family.

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

Glad you enjoy the videos. We're going to make a bread video, I did make one but it was way too long so we're going to do it over. We're thinking about going out west again and doing some trout fishing and gold prospecting when we go we'll make some videos. Our first couple of videos were gold prospecting and rock hounding. Thanks for Watching

[@MisfitsFiendClub138]

So rare to see so many just females like that. Usually, they are mixed. Seems like all the males in that area have been fished out. Stone crabs were a great bonus 😋 👌

The same thing happened at a different spot last year.

I'm just waiting the good season and I can't wait to resume my crab fishing but this years I would like to catch another type of crab,real similar to the crab stone!!!!Over here it's called FAVOLLO or FELLONE!!!I saw their name in English but I forgot it!!!!This crab is a bit more difficult because lives beneath the rock of the sea!!!!Right now I'm just fishing clams but it's fine!!!!Greetings from Italy and my compliments to you🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

Greetings from Italy,I finally resumed my crabs fishing since 3 days but I catch only the small!!!Folks over here has said that I must wait the turning of the water in hot,so they will make return from the sea!!!!Anyway over there you respect these crabs while over here has been given the alarm cause they are killing our native crabs and fish,so peoples over here hates blue crabs while honestly I don't!!!But this year I would like to catch some Warty crabs as well!!!!

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

It's the same with us, sometimes we just catch only small ones like we're doing now. Those blue crabs are good eating. Good luck with your crabbing. It's always nice to hear from Italy. Thanks again for Watching

[@oceandeepfishing4555]

Ok guys that another rap. Nice video. Looks like you were in Melbourne. If I'm right we use to camp at a resort close to that tall tower building in the back ground. So Sam, you said they consider stone crabs to be a by catch in a blue crab trap? Does that mean even if it's closed season you can still keep them? That new recipe looked good. I love peach salsa. If your ever in publix they have one in the produce department. It's a sweet/spicy one. Best I've had. Hope all is well. Tight lines....

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

Ed, the stone crabs have to be in season and the claws legal size. Don't forget you now have to put turtle extruders on your blue crab traps. We were north of Oak Hill.

[@Twotone914]

Another great video. Where can you purchase crab traps any suggestions?can’t find any locally around me. Thanks

[@gailsfoodandstuff]

i had no idea that the females only lay eggs once and thats it. learned that just by chance when that popped up on my youtube home page. so it makes me kind of sad that a local chinese restaurant will served egg bound females, with the skirt out and eggs on it, on their buffet.

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

Gail, I've never been to one of those buffets but that stinks if they're doing that, I thought it was illegal. Thanks again for Watching

That's definitely illegal and very disrespectful. They are literally wiping out so many crabs by doing that so sad

[@monicafolse5065]

@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors I don’t know everything about Blue Crabs, but I do know that mature female blue crabs only mate once, but they may produce egg sacks up to 3-4 times with stored sperm from the one mating encounter. That’s why I now try not to keep any immature females. Also, the aforementioned eggs inside a female crab is not the same as the egg sack under her apron on her way to lay eggs. You cannot know the inside eggs are there until you actually open the crab, so Gail’s Food, Music and Stuff should not be upset with the restaurant she mentioned. I totally understand where and/or why she or anyone else would get upset because of the decline in Blue Crab populations and trying to be objective, but there is a lot of information out there regarding reproduction and research on the most “delicious delicacy” on the great big ole planet Earth of ours🌎🦀🦀🦀 Please continue doing what y’all do!

Is that closer to the ocean? By the inlet/ mouth of the bay. Females like saltier water.

You're right in some areas there's only females, like around Daytona but the crabs we catch there are the best tasting. Thanks for Watching

[@johnnoneya7493]

I have found so far once I get into females with eggs there are always females with eggs of different stages based on salinity of water. have set traps 3 times in area thinking eventually be better mix of crabs, no luck just eggs

John, last year we set our pots in a different area and the same thing, lots of females with eggs we went a month later and caught more males still females but not as many. We'll try this spot one more time. Thanks for Watching

The females need salty water to lay eggs. I never go to the N. Causeway area in NSB, too salty and you catch mostly females. Where you set your traps this time must have higher salinity than Tomoka basin area.

Right, it's the same in the oak Hill area. The St Johns River is best for males.
