  • We spent the weekend at a beautiful Airbnb in Astor Florida ! We did a 24 hour crab trap soak and had a tasty meal. We went to Silver Glen and explored Lake George. Love spending the weekend with good friends and family!

    Hi Tug Trash, family and friends!
    I truly appreciate the beautiful tradition of blessing the food and giving thanks to God every time you sit down for a family-style dinner. It adds a special touch to your gatherings and reminds us to be grateful for the food and company we have.
    Thank you for keeping this tradition alive!

    Yea Buddy. Silver Glen is awesome! Only a couple miles north on Lake George is the entrance of the 4 mile long Salt Spring run. Take a run up there and the water turns crystal clear from the Salt spring. It's a little bigger and the mullet fishing is real good. The swim beach is really nice too.

    LITERALLY FREAKING AWESOME AND AMAZING BROTHER!!! Every time you say it doesn't get any better than this, I couldn't have agreed with you more! I was telling my wife as we were watching your video, I can't quite fully understand it, but for some reason I would rather catch crab than take them apart and eat them. Well, scratch that, I don't mind eating in them, I just hate taking them apart! Anyway, I appreciate you getting me psyched up, and my family. We moved down to Florida back in 2017, and we just love this kind of stuff! I've been on disability for the last 4 years, and I am just dying to get out there and do something badly! A couple summers I tried to bass fish a few times, with my Walker, I would place a couple fishing rods and tackle box on top of it and push them around to the various retention ponds in my development. There's just one problem I have that, we want to go out and explore, and we see you guys doing it. We don't have a boat. Can you still have a good time going to some of these Springs and not own one? I'm trying to save up for a kayak myself, but, I just turned 56 last year. My dream in life is to own a boat. If I don't get what I consider to be fun for the whole family, I'm probably just going to result and getting a rowboat and an outboard motor and just going to town that way. I know this is getting long, so I'll try to wrap it up, and just tell you thank you again, to you, Crystal, Bianca, Harold, etc etc, for a great video! Fully entertained, and you're teaching me a lot! Appreciate you brother! God bless!

    In the mid 70's I used to drive back and forth from Gainesville and Orlando and there is a residential road on the west side of Lake George. Lot's of crabbers sold from their houses. They considered a crab that was 8" to 12" point to point to be mediums. AND they were only a buck apiece. Those were the days.

    if you want a steaming pot for just the stove im sure your local asian supermarket sells em, i got mine from a asian store, its thin and heats up super quick and has 3 tray layers. vinegar is the trick! i use apple cider and beer full bottles, the acid fumes in the vinegar makes the crab shells turn into chips making it super easy to crack with just your hands, the beer makes the PH more acidic i believe too which helps with the process
