We are new subscribers. We love your crabbing videos, crabbing is so much fun. So sorry you lost your baby, he was so adorable. We lost our baby Dakota on June 29, 2023. She came to me after i retired in 2014. She got sick, and like you, we were unable to save her. We miss her terribly and I'd give anything to have her back again. Stay strong and keep those crabbing videos coming.
Hello New Subby 👋🏾 Thank you so much for watching my video! Yes, it’s still heartbreaking into this day that he’s not with me. He was the love of my life. 💔 One day I’ll be open to get another one. I am so sorry for your loss as well. You know how it feels to lose them. When people say they are family, they are family! And it hurts.. he literally about killed me. I didn’t know what to do. I’ve never been alone without him. It was a very hard transition except, and he was gone. Thank you so much for the condolences. 🫶🏾
Thank you 🙏🏾-I don’t see a lot of UA-camrs that are ladies that have fun like me crabbing. It would be a good thing to have a lot more. Thank you for watching my video. 🫶🏾
Hey 👋🏾 Texas, Thank you so much for tuning into my channel. I’m glad you thoroughly enjoy it. Yes pet loss is extremely hard and it still hurts to this day. Hopefully my heart will be open for another one very soon. 🫶🏾
Awesome video! You are good with the line. Watching your video I learned I am netting my crab the wrong way. Probably why I miss alot. Thanks for the awesome video and glad you did your homework to find the spot. That's half the fun.
So happy that you enjoyed the video. 🫶🏾 I even put a twist on advertising your UA-cam channel lol 😂 thank you so much for showing me how to use your Crabtrap. And yes, it’s all about the scoop when you get the crabs. 🦀 Also, some of your followers have converted to my channel, so I’m grateful for that. Have a blast in the keys! Look forward to seeing your video.
It’s one of the hardest experiences you’ll ever go through if you’re a pet parent. He was my baby boy since high school. I miss him dearly. Thank you for tuning in to the channel. 🫶🏾
Thank you so much! Yeah, when I talk about him, I get so emotional because I just loved him so much and it’s just so terrible that he’s not here with me because it’s a life that I didn’t think that was gonna happen. And now I just live by myself and he’s not here to share happy memories with me anymore. But I know that as long as I keep him in my memory, he’ll always be in my heart and mind. Thank you so much for watching and I hope your future crabbing is a success! 🫶🏾
Funny story! Last weekend I’m pretty sure I was kayak fishing where you were crabbing. After a couple trout and reds I went to another spot off crystal river for some snook fishing. When I got back to the put in spot there was a guy there asking me about crabbing. After he talked for a while he was telling me about you. Pretty sure he seen you out. I didn’t think anything else about it until I seen your video today and figured out it was you he was telling me about. Very cool, and your dinner looked awesome!
How iconic!! That’s crazy people are recognizing me. It’s still new to me lol 😂 I’m in the Crystal River once in a while. Definitely wave or speak, if you see me out there. Thank you so much for watching the video and I appreciate you commenting on my food. 🫶🏾 Snook sounds amazing. I can’t wait to catch some different species of fish,🎣 so I can fry them up.
@@hopeflows10 if your ever looking for another lady crabber . I have a home in Inverness . I’m Canadian and coming down in October , no experience just going to start crabbing in October . Just reach out and we can meet up
I am new to your channel and I love love blue crabs. I do them alot on my channel. I some day want to go crabbing lol! Keep up the good work. Big thumbs up. New sub as well! Sorry for your loss. Stay Connected. 🤗👍🙏
I’m sorry for your loss as well. 😔You’re exactly right. We gotta keep going because that’s what they would want us to do. Keeping your mind busy, so you don’t think about them often is the only coping mechanism that you have. I’m glad fishing saved your life. 🫶🏾 thank you for watching.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I had two for 22 and 23 years. It literally broke my heart. I had to take off work until I got myself back together. They were the love of my life. Thanks for sharing your video. The crabs looked so delicious. Continue to enjoy. 😊
If my baby would’ve live 20 to 23 years I would’ve just been elated, but my heart would’ve been completely ripped out. As I said, when he left me, that was the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced in my life. He was closer to me than any other human. I don’t care what anybody says, Dogs are better than humans. I loved him more than anything in this world. 🌎 He was my love, my child my everything. And I’m still not ready to get another one. It’s just too painful. I’m sorry for your loss 😭 as well because I could not imagine losing my baby at 22 and 23 years old. I just would be a wreck. Indeed I was I did not take off work because I work from home, but it was hard to pretend that I was OK. I cried for weeks. Thank you so much for watching the video. I greatly appreciate it.
First time, me too . Love it , very respectful.. no disrespect here..no cussing like those other channels , who have any respect for nobody.. I don't watch them.
@@joanbutler1906 Thank you so much! 😊 yeah I’m not big on the potty mouth crowd. I have watched some crabbing videos where it was just F bomb left and right I can’t do it either, so I understand. Definitely wasn’t raised like that. Thank you so much for watching.!
I love this! I cant wait to go crabbing again. Totally off topic but you have such a beautiful spirit. I liked the video before ever watching. Keep shining sis
🥹Aww, I appreciate that compliment. Definitely brightened my spirits today. I started crabbing because I was going through a deep depression at the beginning of June. And crabbing was trending on TikTok, UA-cam and I decided to get out of the house to try it out. It’s just so fun and therapeutic. Get out there before they stop moving around and get crabbing! Thank you for stopping by the channel 🫶🏾.
@hopeflows10 that's exactly why I enjoy crabbing and fishing. Helps keep the depression away. Lost my honey last year July and I think it's time I get back out there and just breathe ❤
@@jamaicabea9048 I’m so sorry for your loss. 🙏🏾 you’re right I think it’s really helped me with my depression. Some people don’t understand being out nature and finding remote locations really helps the soul. I hope you get out there and find your peace. 🫶🏾
I love your channel and I will surly be watching both channels. Thanks fish man Mike for the tips also. I hope to come to Fl one weekend to go crabbing I’m in SC. I hope to find some good spots for my weekend
Definitely start doing your research early! Google maps, Google Earth are great search engines and just Google crabbing spots in Florida. Thank you so much for watching! 🫶🏾

Thank you so much for subscribing to my channel! Blue crabs are so delicious. They’re tedious to get into sometimes, but they are so worth it when you dip them in butter. lol 😂
Awesome!!! Welcome to my channel!! Thank you so much for watching the video and yeah, there’s so many different ways to catch crabs with chicken on a string. I think my method is pretty cool but somebody else could be better lol 😂
Hello 👋🏾 Thank you so much for stumbling across my channel. I don’t think there’s any crabbing spots in Orlando. But you’re still in a good location to drive to some awesome spots on the Atlantic side. Happy crabbing 🦀
He was my everything. It’s still hard knowing he’s gone. 😔 I get emotional talking about him. I loved him more than life itself. Maybe one day I’ll be ready for another one but, to me it’s still too early. Thanks for watching my video 🫶🏾
I’m so sorry for the loss of your baby. We lost two of our babies within a month from each other. It was the saddest thing we have ever experienced. We now have three new babies. They are all one year old and they are all siblings from the same mother and father. I know we went a little crazy, but we couldn’t resist these babies. We know how you feel. I love watching crabbing I also watch Tony now I’m going to be watching you. I think you are adorable and so much fun to watch. I wish I could have some of those grabs lol anyway good luck to you and your channel I will be watching ❤️❤️❤️
I appreciate that very much. My heart is still not ready for another one and it’s about to be two years. Losing in him was harder than losing and family member. He was my world and my heart. Also, I am so sorry that you lost your fur babies. So you understand how it feels to lose something so precious. And I’m glad that you were able to allow your heart to gain three more family members. For me I think it’s just going to be when the time is right. But I’m still grieving after two years. I just can’t do it. Thank you so much for watching my videos. I appreciate you very much and I’m glad you were able to find me and subscribe. 🫶🏾
@@hopeflows10 when the time is right, you will know and your heart will open up to a new fur baby that will bring you the happiness that you deserve. I’m Sure, your baby is watching over you from the rainbow bridge and doesn’t want you to be sad anymore.❤️😘❤️
Tricky-tricky…. Them boogers are quick. But, you faster. 🙃You got you some good eat’n this trip. Oh’, I’m so glad I got to see how you use the InstaPot too. Looks so yummy! Enjoy!❤
They are so smart. I don’t know why people call them dumb because they are super fast and they know you coming for them lol unless they’re greedy. Thank you so much for watching the channel! 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
Thank you! I tried that method and I always lose them for whatever reason. I just find scooping them underneath because I can just float them above the net and then lift up a lot easier for me. But I’ll try it again. I guess different scenarios and different waterways would be ideal for scooping them from behind. Thank you for watching! 🫶🏾
There are gators out there? I sure didn’t see any lol but I believe there’s probably water moccasins or rattlesnakes lol it’s pretty rough out there. Definitely will be heading back soon! Thank you so much for watching. 🫶🏾
It depends on the size of the crabs. I wouldn’t stacked them too far up probably to the max line, but you could probably fit 4 to 6 crabs in there . If you do six crabs or more, make sure you cook them a lot longer. Thank you so much for watching my video. 🫶🏾
So true. Some youtubers just toss them in any way. When they're upside down, they will die if not turned over, so they just waste crabs. They toss them in, upside down, and just leave them li,e that. Then, when they get home and get the crabs ready to cook , ie tossing out the dead ones. They just throw them away. That crab was a waste because it died without providing the food it was meant to, and that's all due to the crabbers' neglect. I understand that UA-camrs don't want to gives out the location of good crabbing spots. They would get over grabbed, then it would no l9nger be a good spot. With that being said, it's a bit frustrating to those of us who wouldn't pose a problem for them. I don't live in a coastal state and haven't for several years. If I take a vacation to an area where I can crab, I'm not going to pose a threat to them. If you explain your situation, it would be nice if they privately tell you the location where they're crabbing.
I 100% agree with you. I don’t think it would pose a threat for people that are vacationing. But like you said, when some people give out locations to be exact spot, it gets over crab and people leave trash and then it’s no longer a great spot. As you seen in my video, they were casting nets, regular nets, fishing line, crab, twine, broken bottles, old tires everywhere. That’s why we can’t have nice things. And people trash it so much and they forget about the location. Nobody goes there and then somebody stumbles across it and there you go. It’s a great location again minus the outer appearance of the land.
@@BLACKRAIN390 Nice! Never been to Daytona. I’m on the gulf side. Definitely, I would to try Titusville. Heard good crabbing in the area. Happy Crabbing 🦀
Im 56yrs old and have been eating and cook8ng crabs forever. But I have never literally seen anyone clean there crabs. Most youtubers who say they they are going to show how they clean there crabs are literally showing how to take shell off and and clean out the bad stufg
Yeah, a lot of people eat their crabs by taking off the shells. Which I will as well sometimes, but I like eating them whole. I think it holds a lot more flavor, but a lot of UA-camrs will catch the crabs and just put them in the boil or steamed them without cleaning their shell or their legs or anything like that they gotta realize that crabs in nasty muck water or mud. So when you put a crab from the ocean to your water and then you’re sucking on it, you’re drinking mud water lol that’s just flavored. 😂 I appreciate you watching my video. 🫶🏾
Boat ramps are a dead giveaway. If you see them at a boat ramp, you can just look up all the boat ramps and match it up. I spent about 4 hours trying to find this one dudes spot, finally I just gave up and asked Reddit, they found the spot within like 20 mins lol then I found all his other spots. Now before yall jump on me, I do have spots I found on my own, but I just wanted to add additional spots, we all just trying to eat some crabs
I agree, I have found a few spots looking on my own on Google Maps. But if fly drones in the air and you know how to work in computer or anybody can find it. It just takes a little bit of hard work. Or just ask people some people are willing to give up location some or not. I don’t never ask anybody. I just try to find it on my own or just watch videos and try to look it up myself. But I understand the secrecy because once a place is discovered it can be over crab within a few months. Appreciate you watching and thank you for your comment. 😉
@ yeah I get the secrecy, people trash spots all the time, but for me, I just moved to Florida and not knowing anyone, it’s harder to navigate when you have no roots to point you in the right direction. The one guy I watch on here flies his drone is smart and flies it over marsh land that looks the same, when I finally mapped it out, he was flying his drone no where near the actual place he was crabbing at. But for someone who has no friends or family in a new location, it can be overwhelming trying to find a spot. There’s plenty of crabs to go around. Great video! Never thought of doing them in the insta pot. I was just gonna go out and buy a $40 crab pot from Walmart, but I have an instant pot so I’ll give this a try! Happy crabbing!
@ welcome to Florida! I hope you find some locations on your own and have successful catches. You are correct a lot of people trash areas and it makes crabbing not so enjoyable. I don’t mind telling a few people sometimes if I’m in the mood lol but mostly I just tell them the general area. I appreciate you commenting.💪🏾 #CrabOn 🦀
You mean the Insta pot? Oh I just got it off of Amazon. It comes in handy when you need to cook something quick. Haha, sometimes I can get lonely fishing by yourself or crabbing by yourself, but I’m so used to being by myself and going on solo trips, so I don’t even bother me no more. 🙌🏾
@@hopeflows10 Your recent video has inspired me to get out and see if I can find a spot on my own. I'm looking forward to no see ums, rain, over heating and catching a dozen crabs, ha ha...It's a lot of work, but the reward is so yummy. You're doing great!
Yea! Get out there and just have fun! Never thought this hobby would take off running. I thoroughly enjoy being outside and finding new spots on Google Maps. Get out there and get bit by no see ums and catch a free tan lol I appreciate you watching the video 🙂
A simple way to tell the sex of a crab is how the apron is shaped. If it's shaped like the National Monument, then it's a male. If it's shaped like the capital building, then it's a mature female. And, if it's shaped like a pyramid, it's an immature females.
@98shon98 I do want to do more research about female crabs, and what to look for. I think it’s very educational for everybody getting started crabbing. 🦀 Also, I try not to take female crabs because they’re so important to the ecosystem, so we can enjoy more of them in the future.

Nice crabbing and nice cooking, I will try instant pot crabs
Definitely try the insta pot out. It’s convenient and quick! Thank you for watching . 🫶🏾
New subscriber. I love watching crabbing.
Hey 👋🏾 New Sub! Thanks for stumbling on my channel. 🫶🏾
Tricky-tricky…. Them boogers are quick. But, you faster. 🙃You got you some good eat’n this trip. Oh’, I’m so glad I got to see how you use the InstaPot too. Looks so yummy! Enjoy!❤
They are so smart. I don’t know why people call them dumb because they are super fast and they know you coming for them lol unless they’re greedy. Thank you so much for watching the channel! 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
Keep rocking sorry about puppy. When you use the net try coming from on top n behind them. Good luck
Thank you! I tried that method and I always lose them for whatever reason. I just find scooping them underneath because I can just float them above the net and then lift up a lot easier for me. But I’ll try it again. I guess different scenarios and different waterways would be ideal for scooping them from behind. Thank you for watching! 🫶🏾
@@hopeflows10 my first time watching your tube it was a blast good luck
@@jimtadlock3488 I appreciate it! Can’t wait to get back out there! 🫶🏾
Awesome video 🎉🎉🎉
Greatly appreciate it! Thanks for watching 🫶🏾
Nice crabbing!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you subscribing 🫶🏾
My wife and I go to that spot occasionally. It's also a good spot to catch Florida Crown Conchs.
Ohhh what are those? I need to look that up. 🤔It’s a good quiet spot. I’ll definitely be going again.😊Thank you for watching !
You can add broccoli 🥦 in a season bag when almost done drop in and let boil it’s delicious also🎉
I definitely want to experiment with different vegetables to see if it will alter the taste.
My crab trap and nets are always in my trunk...LOL
Haha 😆 I keep a foldable net and string in mine. Never know if you drive past a good spot. 🫶🏾
I live in east tennessee and absolutely agree about the trash. Its not that hard to carry out what you carry in.
It was terrible. I caught pieces of a casting net, fish string, hooks, weights and crabbing string… it was highly Annoying 😑
Great video. I bet your "baby" is yapping evey time you bring in a crab. Keep it up.
He would definitely be curious about them. Thanks very much for watching 🫶🏾
Hey. I hope we run into each other out there one day. Watch out for those gators tho
There are gators out there? I sure didn’t see any lol but I believe there’s probably water moccasins or rattlesnakes lol it’s pretty rough out there. Definitely will be heading back soon! Thank you so much for watching. 🫶🏾
This looks delicious i love my IP! How many maximum can you cook in the IP?
It depends on the size of the crabs. I wouldn’t stacked them too far up probably to the max line, but you could probably fit 4 to 6 crabs in there . If you do six crabs or more, make sure you cook them a lot longer. Thank you so much for watching my video. 🫶🏾
Im here from Fish Man Mike🫡
Ya!!!! Thank you so much for showing love on my channel 🫶🏾
Hey did you get a chance to run a line through the handle of your poll net just asking.
Haha 😆 not yet, but I really need to. I just forget, but I will!
Where did you buy your water boots ? Thank you
Here you go 🙂walmrt.us/3YLVIBs
@@hopeflows10 thank you 😊 💃🏽
@@InvernessFlorida2023 No problem 😉
I like to come behind with the net it helps when they try to swim backwards
Very true! I do sometimes go behind when I have a strong current.
So true. Some youtubers just toss them in any way. When they're upside down, they will die if not turned over, so they just waste crabs. They toss them in, upside down, and just leave them li,e that. Then, when they get home and get the crabs ready to cook , ie tossing out the dead ones. They just throw them away. That crab was a waste because it died without providing the food it was meant to, and that's all due to the crabbers' neglect.
I understand that UA-camrs don't want to gives out the location of good crabbing spots. They would get over grabbed, then it would no l9nger be a good spot. With that being said, it's a bit frustrating to those of us who wouldn't pose a problem for them. I don't live in a coastal state and haven't for several years. If I take a vacation to an area where I can crab, I'm not going to pose a threat to them. If you explain your situation, it would be nice if they privately tell you the location where they're crabbing.
I 100% agree with you. I don’t think it would pose a threat for people that are vacationing. But like you said, when some people give out locations to be exact spot, it gets over crab and people leave trash and then it’s no longer a great spot. As you seen in my video, they were casting nets, regular nets, fishing line, crab, twine, broken bottles, old tires everywhere. That’s why we can’t have nice things. And people trash it so much and they forget about the location. Nobody goes there and then somebody stumbles across it and there you go. It’s a great location again minus the outer appearance of the land.
Can I get a link to them dragon Ball z house shoes 👀
Absolutely, Here you go.walmrt.us/3M5Nk8h
A female crabber, a dream come true
Ha ha I don’t know about the dream, but it is so fun as a hobby! Thank you so much for watching my video!
Hello, are you in Florida
Yes, I am. Thank you for watching 👋🏾
@@hopeflows10 I crab a lot, um near Daytona
@@BLACKRAIN390 Nice! Never been to Daytona. I’m on the gulf side. Definitely, I would to try Titusville. Heard good crabbing in the area. Happy Crabbing 🦀
@@hopeflows10 yep, that's a good spot too....
@BLACKRAIN390 that’s great to hear. One day I’ll be traveling and trying it out. 👍🏾
I knew you were gonna say, Fishman Mike I watch him too. He’s cool and yeah that spot does look just like his butt that’s awesome. You go girl.❤🥰
He’s very nice! 😊 Thank you for watching my video 🫶🏾
Im 56yrs old and have been eating and cook8ng crabs forever. But I have never literally seen anyone clean there crabs. Most youtubers who say they they are going to show how they clean there crabs are literally showing how to take shell off and and clean out the bad stufg
Yeah, a lot of people eat their crabs by taking off the shells. Which I will as well sometimes, but I like eating them whole. I think it holds a lot more flavor, but a lot of UA-camrs will catch the crabs and just put them in the boil or steamed them without cleaning their shell or their legs or anything like that they gotta realize that crabs in nasty muck water or mud. So when you put a crab from the ocean to your water and then you’re sucking on it, you’re drinking mud water lol that’s just flavored. 😂 I appreciate you watching my video. 🫶🏾
Boat ramps are a dead giveaway. If you see them at a boat ramp, you can just look up all the boat ramps and match it up. I spent about 4 hours trying to find this one dudes spot, finally I just gave up and asked Reddit, they found the spot within like 20 mins lol then I found all his other spots. Now before yall jump on me, I do have spots I found on my own, but I just wanted to add additional spots, we all just trying to eat some crabs
I agree, I have found a few spots looking on my own on Google Maps. But if fly drones in the air and you know how to work in computer or anybody can find it. It just takes a little bit of hard work. Or just ask people some people are willing to give up location some or not. I don’t never ask anybody. I just try to find it on my own or just watch videos and try to look it up myself. But I understand the secrecy because once a place is discovered it can be over crab within a few months. Appreciate you watching and thank you for your comment. 😉
@ yeah I get the secrecy, people trash spots all the time, but for me, I just moved to Florida and not knowing anyone, it’s harder to navigate when you have no roots to point you in the right direction. The one guy I watch on here flies his drone is smart and flies it over marsh land that looks the same, when I finally mapped it out, he was flying his drone no where near the actual place he was crabbing at. But for someone who has no friends or family in a new location, it can be overwhelming trying to find a spot. There’s plenty of crabs to go around. Great video! Never thought of doing them in the insta pot. I was just gonna go out and buy a $40 crab pot from Walmart, but I have an instant pot so I’ll give this a try! Happy crabbing!
@ welcome to Florida! I hope you find some locations on your own and have successful catches. You are correct a lot of people trash areas and it makes crabbing not so enjoyable. I don’t mind telling a few people sometimes if I’m in the mood lol but mostly I just tell them the general area. I appreciate you commenting.💪🏾 #CrabOn 🦀
It will be soon you’ll see before you know it. And that her baby will be your little partner and crabbing.❤️
I will be excited to have a crabbing partner and kayak buddy 🐶
Where did you get your pot from. I love it you need to come crab and fish with me so I can have a partner. I just don’t like going buying my self.
You mean the Insta pot? Oh I just got it off of Amazon. It comes in handy when you need to cook something quick. Haha, sometimes I can get lonely fishing by yourself or crabbing by yourself, but I’m so used to being by myself and going on solo trips, so I don’t even bother me no more. 🙌🏾
You made that look too easy
It really is that easy lol 😂 as long as you have patience. Thank you so much for watching.🫶🏾
Just about can hear you
Thank you for watching 🫶🏾
No secret spot is safe on UA-cam unless all that is shown is water, ha ha...
Very true, I found a lot of crabber secret spots lately. They’re just lucky I don’t live close to them lol 😂 thanks for watching
@@hopeflows10 Your recent video has inspired me to get out and see if I can find a spot on my own. I'm looking forward to no see ums, rain, over heating and catching a dozen crabs, ha ha...It's a lot of work, but the reward is so yummy. You're doing great!
Yea! Get out there and just have fun! Never thought this hobby would take off running. I thoroughly enjoy being outside and finding new spots on Google Maps. Get out there and get bit by no see ums and catch a free tan lol I appreciate you watching the video 🙂
When you clean him with your little brush why don’t you use your toothbrush on him
I didn’t have one available. The scrub brush did to job though 🙃 I got to have my crabs nice and clean. 🧼
Hopefully, you’re joking about using my own toothbrush 🪥.
A simple way to tell the sex of a crab is how the apron is shaped. If it's shaped like the National Monument, then it's a male. If it's shaped like the capital building, then it's a mature female. And, if it's shaped like a pyramid, it's an immature females.
Everybody’s got so many different variations of them lol I just say a skinny shaft for a male and a oval flap for the female lol 😂
@@hopeflows10 Yeah, it's fewer words your way.
@98shon98 very - either way I know which one is which that’s all that matters lol 😂 but it’s always great to educate people that don’t know.
@hopeflows10 I watched on a video a while back with that explanation. It just stuck with me, so I thought I would share.
@98shon98 I do want to do more research about female crabs, and what to look for. I think it’s very educational for everybody getting started crabbing. 🦀 Also, I try not to take female crabs because they’re so important to the ecosystem, so we can enjoy more of them in the future.
Girl, please share with me.
It’s in Crystal River. 🙃
