Have you ever tried steaming the claws in the ocean saltwater? That's what we do and it seems to work better than boiling them. We use our CanCooker with water that we bring home with us from the river.
Way to go Charlie, us Biscayne Bay boys have to stick together. NE 96th St. was home base for me, but I roamed from Haulover to Jewfish Creek. Best life, late sixties, early seventies. Keep rockin' brother.
What a fun day you all had! Bet all the crab bait you had on deck really stunk! You are so fortunate to have the Florida Keys as your playground! Always enjoy your videos Nick and Sarah!
Great video Stanzfam! Your girls are getting so big! Sad to see the girls are losing Madison, but all the best to her in her future. Charlie’s little known fact of them only being right handed is interesting. Great looking app’s from Charlie. I always enjoy the stone crab videos as I’ve gone dungeness crab fishing on the west coast of Canada and it is so much fun, especially if you catch them.
Love the video. We went to the beach to help a relative at her beach house as Ian approached. I gave 9 gallon bags of claws to a neighbor in case we lost power in Tampa. Never lost it at the beach. He lost it & of course had a party. Disappointing but at least someone got to enjoy them.
Excellent cookout with Charlie and the Kids. We need to see more of him cooking and Jamaican Maaan ... maybe do a bbq cookout with a grill at the beach sand
Great video Nick. Learn something new all the time. Charlie is such a great addition . We love to see his recipes. We’ll be down for Christmas. Can’t wait and keep these videos coming 😊
Charlie hauling in that trap skidding against the boat and not on the matt, me and my husband are both yelling at the tv-No No No!! get the rope over the matt!!
Wonderful video Stan I have never been to the keys but I will plan a trip hopefully next year Which is alone from now. How long ahead of time should I make A reservation to go 🐟ing
Just found your channel today and subscribed. I live in Naples Florida and have never gone stone crabbing but one day I hope to do so. I sometimes watch the fisherman cook the claws back at the dock and they usually bring seawater back with them from the Gulf. They then boil them in the seawater. Have you ever boiled them in seawater?
Hey Nick,does the crab 🦀 body not have meat in it? Here in Australia we have sand and mud crabs, the mud crabs have huge claws like these stones, but we keep the whole crabs, although there is more meat in the claw than the body
Great video guys! One question… where did you get those scissor tongs? They’re great. I use regular bbq tongs & they suck! Crabs slip out. Keep up the great work.
Enjoyed the video looks like fun! Does Sara actually charter stone crab trips? Loved Sadie's shirt! We need to get Stanz Fam up here in Michigan to do some King Salmon fishing!
One more fun fact about stone crabs. Iowa legislators are incredibly disappointed. As Iowa makes up for 0% of the stone crab industry... plans are being made to dig a moat system directly from Florida's most Southern regions straight through multiple States to reach Iowa... First intersecting with the Mississippi and continuing through to the Missouri... Stone crabs expected to reach midwesterners in twenty twenty never... sad day
@@StanzFam Thanks so much for caring enough to comment back and tell me this. I can't eat fish and I just didn't know. I have seen what some of the so called Fisherman do to Sharks where they simply cut off all there fins and dump them back into the water to drown just to satisfy those foreign appetites' for the Shark Fin soups and other delicacies.
You guys are definitely awesome at what you do there is no denying that. You have made a great life off of the sea, and it's creatures. Always limiting out, always slamming whatever species you are after. When it comes to the stone crabs you guys take both claws, most other people don't do that. I think it's pretty greedy of you guys to take both claws, even though it is legal as long as they are properly sized. Geez Stanz,,, do you guys ever give back to the environment that has afforded you such a great life. What do you guys do to give back?? Handing out free fish at the dock doesn't count either.
If it makes you feel better about yourself only harvesting once claw feel free to do that. The commercial fleet catches the vast majority of claws which are sold in restaurants and fish markets and they harvest both claws. Tons of people eat stone crab all over the place that are caught by commercial fisherman. The 11 claws we caught last week is hardly a drop in the bucket of the yearly total of stone crab claws harvested in Florida. Maybe 3 lbs of out of the 2 million pounds that are harvested on average? I’m just a realist and knowing we catch more crabs with no claws in our traps than we catch crabs with one legal claw shows me that most people aren’t letting go crabs with a legal claw. One day they may change the rules on stone crab and if they do we will follow it. The commercial fishery would definitely be more affected than the recreational fishery since we only make up a small amount of the actual yearly harvest. We definitely don’t always limit out when we fish, we tag and release quite a few swordfish each year 🤷🏻♂️
Dang, Pard'..ain't pole bendin' hijinks jus' fer' them giddy-up Cowgirls an' Cowdudes?..Shoot no, Tex, they gots mucho fish wranglin' chicks n' bruhs' doin' all kinda' funnest Ro-De-O fun in them F-L-A keys..WaaHoo!
No. The commercial fleet (which catches the majority of stone crabs every season) definitely doesn’t release crabs with legal size claws. A handful of recreational people do for UA-cam videos. If science or overfishing proves different one day maybe they will change the law where both claws can’t be harvested.
@@StanzFam great point Capt 👍🏼👍🏼 when you fish it according to the regulations - you harvest , it's as simple as that. Also, I think it's been proven that a crab with one claw is more likely to fight as they are aggressive and territorial, That's possibly hurting the crab more than harvesting two claws .
@@StanzFam I am truly asking for educational purposes, what protections do the crabs have other than their claws?...guess a better question would be, what are the main preditors that go after these crabs regardless of claws? Thanks!
Octopus are supposedly their number 1 predator. We have a few around here but not many. Biologists/scientists say they go into scavenger mode when they are clawless. Eat grass and dead fish on the bottom etc. Goliath grouper and nurse sharks definitely eat them too. I’m sure some crabs don’t make it but hopefully with the clean claw removal/drop it gives them their best shot at surviving. Matt mentioned the other main issue is they will fight and still be aggressive with a single claw and a crab with two claws will kill them a lot of the time
@@StanzFam Nick, you are on point w the biology. 1 claw, two claws, no claws.... won't Make a difference when it comes to Goliath group or nurse sharks. Great information you are providing, also makes sense that they would be table fare for the octopus. 👍🏼
You can either crack it off or use the knife to hit the joint and let them drop it. when they drop it themselves it’s less destructive, reduces bleeding and the crab has a better overall chance of surviving and healing
It seems to me that all you have to do is buy a half $1 million boat and put some expensive gas in it get yourself Get yourself about 30 or $40 worth of crab claws and just have a good time lol
ANYONE WHO TAMPERS WITH ANOTHER PERSONS TRAP IS A POS AND GETS KARMA COMING DOWN LIKE A SLEDGE HAMMER = ITS WRONG & THEY KNOW IT & SO THEY GET WRONGED DOWN THE LINE....
Love the family vibe with this video
Thanks Josh! Appreciate you watching it 👊🏻
Charlie seems to be a breath of fresh air on the channel. Also, latex gloves are cheap and work well.
Thanks : )

Hope they were ok after Ian. That was a bad storm for the west coast.
Great video. Why didn’t you use your trolling motor? Wouldn’t this be the ideal time to use it?
We definitely could have used it
Yes Sir
Excellent cookout with Charlie and the Kids. We need to see more of him cooking and Jamaican Maaan ... maybe do a bbq cookout with a grill at the beach sand
Thanks! Will try to do a video all together one day
A proper beach BBQ with Jamaican Mike is long overdue! He is one of the best Caribbean chefs i've met!
Great video Nick. Learn something new all the time. Charlie is such a great addition . We love to see his recipes. We’ll be down for Christmas. Can’t wait and keep these videos coming 😊
Thanks Marge : )
Marge, is Homer coming with you? Doh!!
Aw geez. Thanks so much!

Thanks for watching 🙂
Awesome looking dinner!
Thanks Grady 👊🏻

I'll do better next time! I promise!
Oh how I wish that I could try some stone crab 🦀!
Awesome video you guys
Thanks for watching Gloria
Yes it cost more to go get your own but it’s way more fun and getting out and being outdoors is living life
100% 👊🏻
Have a great day crabbing.
🙂👍🏻
Awesome 👊🏻👊🏻
Thanks Donald 👊🏻🙂👍🏻

I imagine there’s some meat in the body but we are only allow to harvest the claws.
Use the mat “nice” words from the boat owner👍
🙂👊🏻
Great video guys! One question… where did you get those scissor tongs? They’re great. I use regular bbq tongs & they suck! Crabs slip out. Keep up the great work.
A place in the keys here called Cudjo Sales sells the crab tongs
That’s where we bought the trap kit from. Thank you, I’ll order them. 😁
I fand you from indonesia🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨
Hello

Stone crabs are predominantly right handed , but leftys do occur.
🦀👍🏻

Yes she takes people on crabbing charters! We can ship to michigan too! Www.Stanzfishing.com

Charlie, where are the other 2 percent found? 🤔🦀😂
So after you put the claw in the bucket what happens to the crab that you throw in the water.
Hopefully he goes back to the bottom and starts to grow new claws
@@StanzFam Can they do that
Yes, they can grow new sets of claws (legal size) up to 3 times in their lifetime according to biologists
@@StanzFam Thanks so much for caring enough to comment back and tell me this. I can't eat fish and I just didn't know. I have seen what some of the so called Fisherman do to Sharks where they simply cut off all there fins and dump them back into the water to drown just to satisfy those foreign appetites' for the Shark Fin soups and other delicacies.
I watching your videos and I like your videos on 👍 and I have my bills on your videos and I'm subscribed to your videos
Thanks for watching
@@StanzFam you're welcome
I want to be Sarah when I grow up!
I've got to watch several times to catch all info 3rd time I caught shmuts checked with Sarah for spelling
How much does a charter like this cost?
Currently $600
❤😊
Nick, my man, you really got to cut that mullet off!!

Charlie was kind of wrong about crabs being right handed they can be right or left handed but not ambidextrous.
Thought most people didn't harvest the claws from crabs that only had one so they could continue to scavenge and protect them selves???
No. The commercial fleet (which catches the majority of stone crabs every season) definitely doesn’t release crabs with legal size claws. A handful of recreational people do for UA-cam videos. If science or overfishing proves different one day maybe they will change the law where both claws can’t be harvested.

Yes I want to eat crab that are eating rotten egawna yummy
🦀🦖
Is that the lovely Kelly young you go girl keep your chin up
Does just cutting the claw off not hurt the thing, seems kind of cruel
You can either crack it off or use the knife to hit the joint and let them drop it. when they drop it themselves it’s less destructive, reduces bleeding and the crab has a better overall chance of surviving and healing
If you really want views, watch those traps that got mugged! Everybody wants to catch the thief, it's happened to most of us.
You put that crap as bait then eat the crab ??????? doesn't make sensd
Iguana like tree chicken they say
It seems to me that all you have to do is buy a half $1 million boat and put some expensive gas in it get yourself Get yourself about 30 or $40 worth of crab claws and just have a good time lol
Fortunately the bay boats aren’t that much, but definitely fun pulling the traps with friends
