I’m from Jax Florida and was in the seafood business for 25 years, remember selling crabs when I started for 4 dollars a dozen. I can’t believe the price of crabs today??? Just blows my mind. And we made are own market crab boil and I used JO as our base, great stuff!
@@chris5957 try again we had 900 pots and the puller was broke . Even when the puller got fixed I still hand pulled them instead of going to a gym pulling pots was my exercise
No shame in the lights. When demand is high that’s the only way we can afford to eat crabs and they are still great as long as they come from you. Happy Friday CJ!
"White Belly's,"Are really easy to pick:). I always brought Home Big #1's. There's been tough yesr's. Cap sure know's that. When my oldest had just learned to pick pretty good. And we were no longer Policing his shell pile. I had to put some Jumbo, "White Belly's" . On the table. Crabbing picked up and i brought home Big #1's like he was raised on. He ate' and said" bring home some more of them "White Belly's" there easier to pick. He was 7. Great Videos!! Maryland in the House:)
#6 A light crab at a crab feast will expose the crab weighers . When they put the light crab back in the pile thats one more crab for you to eat. Dont forget to thank them for their consideration.
It's either Gulf blue crab, or Chesapeake bay blue crabs. If it's not any of those then it's NOTHING ! Luckily, I live on the gulf coast, so I can catch my own and eat a few, then pick the rest to freeze. If not for that, then I would never get to eat any because of the price.
Thanks for an interesting vid. Md pisses me off in they want you to have a license to catch salt water fish & crabsvin bay. We spend a couple of grand vacationing in Ocean City Md every year. We eat all of our meals at local resturants. I crab off a little bridge a couple of times for a few hours and always throw every thing back. Had a game warden or fish dick whatever they csll them follow me to my SUV & look inside of it. I was talking to a guy that had 2 poles set and he asked both of us for fishing license. Gestapo.

Prices have definitely gone up alot over the years.
Its not Friday If I haven't heard from FV Miss Paula about what is happening on the Chesapeake. Keep up the good worrk Capn CJ.
Water has been really warm
New subscriber, I'm a commercial fisherman myself here in TX.
Good deal. How's your season been?
@@FVMissPaula really slow with all the rain we have had this year.
Doesn't sound like much coming out of anywhere. We aren't catching a ton but price is up so that helps.
I never used a pot puller. I did everything by hand, I pulled pots, cut bait, bait pots, an sort crab
Let me guess, you'll pulled 400 a day right? Lol why would you not use a puller? Work smarter, not harder.
@@chris5957 try again we had 900 pots and the puller was broke . Even when the puller got fixed I still hand pulled them instead of going to a gym pulling pots was my exercise
@@timsoutdoorshunting4469 are you saying you pulled 900 by hand?
@@chris5957 that’s exactly what I am saying
@@timsoutdoorshunting4469 that's truly impressive, I've never heard of anyone doing that. Where do you work out of? I'd love to see this.
Old days you would drive down to the shore and get them off the boats when they came in as crabbers still made better money from you than wholesalers
Still the best way to go for quality and price.
I miss those days

My kids prefer the lights now too. Gotta start em young.
Yes Sir!! Great Content.
The yellower the mouth, the dirtier and rustier the belly, the better they are. I don't care how hard they are to pick !

So pushing anti freeze in the water??? This can’t be good
My motor was taking on water, not dumping antifreeze.
#8 Less filling. Impress your friends as you are able to eat as much as you want at all you can eat joint until they throw you out.
haha... you can create quite the impressive pile doing it that way.
#9 No need of a crab hammer, open claws with mere finger pressure.
What's #8? Lights are definitely gonna get there own video. Lot of reasons there good.
Yes sir, buy local seafood! Keep fishermen alive
Tik-Tok Legend lol I don’t think you could have a better Dude in your corner out there then Capt Luke 👍🏻
loce the videos. wish i could get blue crabs around here. aka vermont
There supposedly as far north as Rhode Island now but still not real close. There are places here that overnight steamed crabs but it ain't cheap.
It's either Gulf blue crab, or Chesapeake bay blue crabs. If it's not any of those then it's NOTHING ! Luckily, I live on the gulf coast, so I can catch my own and eat a few, then pick the rest to freeze. If not for that, then I would never get to eat any because of the price.
Price is a factor for alot of people. I sell my lighter crabs for a cheaper price. Makes it so everyone can eat crabs.
45% increase in bait from this time last year isn't helping any.
Creeper oil on that keyway, get her free maybe some heat.
Ill try that. I got 2 stuck ones and had to buy another one. The 2 stuck ones only need an oil seal. Thanks
