- My wife and I are recreational crabbing for blue crabs and we're catching a lot of male crabs over 5". One measures out to be the biggest crab we've ever caught. We have plenty to eat and we've reset our traps in hopes of catching more. Let's go crabbing. #outdoors #crabbing #bluecrab

Crabbing tips & tricks: how to/what to use to bait & catch blue crab with crab pots/traps or baskets; how to measure blue crab/stone crab claws; how to clean/cook crabs; how to determine sex/maturity of blue crabs; regulations & requirements for crabbing in SC.
Inshore & offshore/deep sea fishing adventures: learn how to fish Carolina rigs using mud minnows, shrimp, squid or fiddler crabs catching spottail bass (bull redfish/red drum), spotted sea trout, sheepshead, flounder (gigging too), triggerfish, snapper, grouper, mackeral, bluefish, black drum, black sea bass, whiting, cobia, shark & more!
Shrimp trawling: how to shrimp dragging a 25 ft trawl net with our small 17 ft boat; checking our nets; showing/sorting our catch; throwing back bycatch (squid, bait fish, skates/rays). Watch as dolphin & shorebirds (gulls, terns, pelicans) follow shrimp boats to catch a meal.
Thank you for joining along for the virtual adventure!
I love how fair you are with crabs keep the population up
We only keep enough crabs to eat or give to our family and friends. I'm concerned about our crab population. A friend was telling me, SCDNR has been doing studies on our crab population over the last 20 years and the blue crab population continues to decrease each year.
Fantastic catch of crabs 🦀
We're thankful for our catch. Nice crabs.
I like your standards and rationale on which ones to keep and those to let go
We only wanted to keep enough for us and one of our friends. We'll catch more, I'm sure. Our traps are fishing.
Love all your videos
Thank you.
Love your videos and don’t think too long. I’m usually disappointed when they end.
Thanks for your encouragement.
Love the long videos!!!
Glad you like them!
Good catch guys
For sure. We were surprised.
Love your videos. You two should do more, clean, cook, and eat (or at least, taste) videos!!!
Thanks. LOL. I was thinking I need to cut back on eating so much. I'll keep your suggestion in mind. I think you're right.
Wow what a catch... & yup, size does matter more than the number.... Merry Christmas * * *
We were happy to catch such nice size crabs! & We were thankful to have enough to even share some of these big boys with our friends! We can't wait to see what we catch in the traps that we left fishing! Thank you! & Merry Christmas to you, too! 🎄🦀
Great video. Gorgeous crabs. Hope you enjoyed them. Thanks for taking me along!
We shared some of the crabs with one of our friends, ate some and put some in our freezer.
Really enjoy your crabbing videos. And you guys are just down the road a bit!!! :)
Glad you enjoy them! 🦀🦀
Love crabbing!❤ Merry Christmas to y’all!
Happy holidays!
Awesome December crabs ! Merry Christmas to you folks !
Happy holidays! I was surprised we found the crabs where we caught the nice ones. I can't wait to see what's going to be in our traps when we go back and pull them.
Nice carbs 🤙🤙
🤙Big boys. 🦀😁
Merry Christmas hope the coming year brings you lots of happiness and health, lots of crabs too 🎄🎄🎄😊
Thank you! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you, too! 🎄 ✝️🙏
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Thank you. Happy holidays.
I love most of the videos you guys r great. Happy Christmas and god bless.🙏
Thank you. Happy holidays.
Awesome video I love this stuff.
Merry Christmas salty Reflections
Thanks. Happy holidays.
Those crabs are enormous! Good to see you guys. 😊
We were excited to see lots of big crabs in our trap.
Love you guy's. thanks for explaining thing to us. Please keep up the good works. God Bless you both so very much.
Thank you! Will do. Stay safe and take care.
How do you guys remember where you put those crab pots when you're taking that long ride in the river.
It's really not hard. We know the area well.
Nice catch merry xmass
Thanks. Happy holidays.
Wish you had enough film to show making some Christmas Pudding with those Jumbos. But when winter comes , its probably going to come with a large Fury ,after all these perfect sunny days
.
Winter will come and go before we know it. Winter is not my favorite season, but I definitely don't want to rush through it.
Love seeing your videos. Always good to see you out on the water.Merry Christmas! ❤
Same to you! Thank you.
What a nice backyard you have! Here in Illinois, 55 degrees would be a heat wave. Always nice to watch a video from you both. Merry Christmas, Stephanie and Oliver!
Do you get outdoors much this time of year? What do people do for entertainment when it stays cold for a long period? The first sight of snow here everything shuts down. Happy holidays.
So you want your crab pots in about 10 to 12ft of water but no deeper than 15 during high tide in the colder weather? Enjoyed the video.
Thanks for the info, I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
How hard is it to load the boat back on the floater pad
The 25 Yamaha will push our skiff and us on the floater.
Do you use J O # 2 crab seasoning to steam your crabs. Best seasoning around !!!
It's tasty.
Really enjoy your uploads, Oliver! Been a subscriber for some time now (2+ years I think?) Anyways, in my opinion, the videos are now getting too long to watch. They didn't use to be this long. Just a data point for you. All the best to you two down there in SC!
Noted! Thanks.
This is just your opinion as for me I always wish the videos were longer I love spending time with Oliver and Stephanie their videos are real fun and no drama.Oliver please don’t shorten your videos because of one person there are thousands that want to see even more longer videos
@@graciehood2308 I'm really not worried about the comment. Life goes on. I appreciate your words of encouragement.
@@SaltyReflections Ummm... in no way was I trying to be negative. I thought I would send a constructive comment that you might see as useful. Apparently, it was taken the wrong way. But as you say, 'life goes on'. Apologies if I offended. Of course, I will continue to watch and 'like' each video.
It would be nice to see some ccc
Noted ✅️
you ever go clam digging
I've never tried digging for clams.
Does blue crab taste different than snow crab ? If so how so I’m in Missouri and we can’t get blue crab here
Yes, blue crabs have a sweeter taste. We love the taste of both of them. I'd prefer picking the meat out of the snow crabs.
You break more legs and claws off the crab you want to keep by rushing them to llet go of each other
Yes, but we still eat the big claws.
is there a limit to how many crabs you can keep
One bushel
fromhere or comehere if i may be nosy
SC born and raised.
Awesome. I used to be a commercial waterman before I became a merchant mariner. I will always consider myself a commercial waterman. I live on Tangier Island, Virginia, right in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay!!
That's cool. I bet you have a lot of stories from your days spent on the water. How's the crabbing been in the Chesapeake Bay this year? Enjoy your time out on the water.
@@SaltyReflections Crabbing has been slow for the most part in '23. Oyster season started on November 15th in Tangier Sound. Oyster season runs through February 28th. Love you guys channel!!
@@Xyzl181 Thanks. We've worked hard trying to share videos about the things we love.
I m 68 yrs old and it irritates me how you throw keeper crabs back . Can’t watch no
More.
👌
happy new year looking forward for another great season of 🦀ing with you both aloha🤙
Thanks for joining us!
I learned a lot from this vid as well as other vids will check them as soon as i can .our crabbing season is over . the crabs you and your wife caught were huge ! Nice of you to give the other crabs time to get even bigger . GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY > MERRY CHRISTMAS .
We catch plenty of crabs and eat a lot of them, too. I was more than happy that we caught enough to be able to cull out enough for us to eat and we gave a dozen to one of our friends. Happy holidays to you.
Have you ever used a trot line to catch the crabs?
It's not legal to use a trot line for crabbing here.
What river? We are in n the Broad.
Beaufort
Glad to see a new video love y’all
Thanks. We're glad we were able to get back out on the water and share another video. We love y'all too.
Maryland law is 100' distance between crabbers buoy...
Thanks for sharing the info.
I love your videos. Thank you for all your effort. I am very greatful you take us along.
Merry Christmas and the happiest of New Year to you and your family.
Happy holidays! Thanks
Beautiful crabs!!! Hopefully some of them make their way down the coast to Savannah into our pots.
We left some behind that were headed that way. 😆🤪👍
Taking the time to watch this longer video tonight and wanted to tell you I thought about you guys this morning at the beach. We had a bad storm over the weekend here and there was a crab trap washed up with some BIG stone crabs in it. They were still alive so I called the park toll booth and a ranger came out and let them out. I hope they make it. I've learned a lot about stuff I've never been acquainted with from you two! Thanks for the education!😊❤️
That's great. You helped save those crabs lives. I don't think the owner of the trap would have found it. There's no telling how far it had gotten moved by the sea and winds. Thanks for helping the crabs. I hope you found some good treasures. Take care and stay safe. Happy holidays.
Glad to see y'all out there in the chilly weather!! I've been wanting to get my pots out but haven't been hearing any good reports. Might try in the next couple days, at least when it's cold out there are less pot robbers out there!!! Good luck an a very Merry Christmas!!
If you can stand the cold, the crabs are worth the effort. Stay out of my honey hole.🦀👌😁 Enjoy and stay safe.
S. Carolina Blues can be big and nasty. Kinda cut seeing them holding hands (Claws)
You're right ✅️
Omigosh, how I would love to go out with y'all a couple of days!!!
We hope to find some time soon to get to go out again ourselves so we can take our Saltaholics on more adventures! 🦀🐚🦐🎣
When I watch you try and get those big crabs out it reminds me of a song by Samantha Fish called shake em on down .
😆 🤣 😂
I love crabbing and eat them too so what are you doing for the holidays
Spending time with family.
When is shrimp season in south carolina
Guys are still shrimp trawling here. SC shrimp trawl season usually runs May to Jan.
Show them how we cook them in the south!
We've showed how we cook them in other videos. I'm still holding on to my favorite recipes. I have a friend that makes a blue crab dip that will have everyone crabbing or buying crabs.
Thanks for taking me along. I am sick in bed this weekend. It is so enjoyable to watch
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope you get to feeling better soon.
I have enjoyed watching thank you all.
Thank you.
