Easy And Affordable Way To Catch Blue Crabs And Shrimp In Florida, Catch And Cook

- Have you ever wondered how to catch Blue Crabs or Shrimp? Walking the grass flats at night during certain times of the year in Florida is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to harvest these crustaceans. During certain times of the year the grass flats become safe havens for these saltwater species. You can walk the flats during the day and find crabs, but nighttime is best for harvesting shrimp with a hand net. All you need is a net, a light and a bucket to put your catch in.

Hey JC! I'm a nurse on a COVID unit and on my days off to relax I go finding secluded fishing spots to unwind. I like the shrimping vid. Its all about having fun. Stay safe!
Thanks for watching and commenting. There's so much live on the grass flats at night. There were loads of fish and several birds and of course plenty off hermit crabs. Keep doing what you love.
Well I know this is an older video but I have to take care of my 81 year old mother so I’m looking for videos that I like thumbs up buddy keep it up
I use to go crabbing in the grass at Cape San Blas. Hurricane Michael ruined the bay so now I’m trying to find a new place to catch crab by hand net. New subscriber here.
We all have a story. I'm a father of 2 and I want their story to be that even though they didn't have to wake up early for school their dad still woke them up nice and early to go fishing! We practice social distancing using a blow up boat to fish and started crabbing from the little boat as well. It's been working and we've had a few dinners already thanks to our catch. Thank you for all you do. The kids and I love watching your videos so keep up the great work!
This video looks like you’re playing a first-person shrimper 😁 🦐
I do this everytime I'm in Jacksonville lol. My wife and I love doing this
I live in the UK and should be on vacation fishing in your area for the next two weeks and catching a band in Clearwater, so totally gutted staying at home, not even allowed to fish in the UK, unfortunately won't be in Florida for a good 18 months. Keep posting the vids and stay safe JC !
It's becomming fairly opened up in Clearwater now. The beaches open tomorrow with social distancing. It sure has been nice not having tourist traffic though lol. We thrive on tourism so we take the good with the bad.
Just be forewarned that grocery stores are mostly stocked minus meat and such. Restaurants are open to only 25 percent seating capacity, but the beaches and boat ramps are open as long as you socially distance. Enjoy and be safe!
Wow, sounds like your plans were totally blown away. What are the airlines doing to reimburse your lose?
@@RadReelingFishing Had a refund on three hotels, I'll get a refund from British Airways in mid June, totally gutted I won't get to Florida this year, even got my cranka crab lures for the sheepies !, hard to tell when this nightmare will end, I'll probably come over next fall. Tight lines JC.
@@johntrout1957 I am always looking for people to fish with, I have a big boat, I live in Clearwater and I have the coordinates to some awesome fishing spots. Pitch in for fuel and we're good to go any day as I am retired :)
I actually went out to fish the Peace river on Saturday. Beautiful river. Only a couple of snook but there were hundreds of people out on the river. Didn't expect that at all.
Great video J.C., I have been fortunate to be working through all of this with overtime.
I count my blessings, everyday!
That's good news for sure. I have a couple of friends and family members who have been able to continue working too. I also have some family members who lost all of their work. I think the fear of not getting government help has been higher than that of getting the virus for many people.
Can you please make another video like this!!!!!! Amazing
Going on 9 weeks with no pay check and I'm self employed and I havent got any help yet . But Glad to see you getting yours. I applied March 30 also. Its very frustrating . But during this time I was thinking about offering Kayaks in my small store and your video was one of the many things that directed me to Become a dealer for Old Town Kayaks . Waiting on the Sportsman Auto Pilot 120 for my self.
The waiting period for these stimulus approval is tough. I applied for the EIDL directly to the SBA in the first round and only received an email verifying they had received my application. The day the second round of funding went active to be released, I received a direct deposit for $1000, I'm the only employee. They actually labeled it as an advance.
I was actually denied the PPP when I applied for my corporation through Paypl because they ran a personal credit check on me. I don't have bad credit, but just insufficient credit.I was really upset because having credit is not one of the criteria for receiving the PPP stimulus. So thank goodness I applied for the PPP then through Kabbage.com and got approved within three days. I hope something comes through for you soon. I hope you get that Auto Pilot soon. Thanks for watching.
Miss doing shrimping. Just moved to Homosassa from St Petersburg that all i do fishing and shrimping but here in homosassa it actually illegal to do shrimping, I don't know why it a old law since 1971 but heard that Fwc is reconsider opening it up here which I hope so! It definitely a shrimp haven
Hello from Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada! Really enjoy your channel JC. Keep up the great content.
I had so much fun watching u have fun. Can't wait to get out there with my headlamp n net.😂
I know exactly what you mean about people walking up on you and not distancing. I have had to get stern with some people who did that even though they were with people wearing masks and who seemed to be under the weather! Stay safe and thanks for the videos!
Thanks for watching. I love that statement "stay safe". In these times that really resonates with people for sure. The other night when I caught that big Snook there were a couple of guys who came over to me, but they were mindful of keeping their distance.
Dude..i love these types of videos..great content my friend..
Thanks! Not much to eat, but it can only get better here in the next few weeks. I need to go to the river with some chicken necks I think!
@@RadReelingFishing that would make a great video brother.
Thanks for producing good content my friend and stay safe 👍👍👍
Brother man I am from Brownsville TX and i always go to South Padre to fish but i have really cut back. Things have started to open up again and my favorite shop too Gilbert's bait shop in Port Isabel TX. So this Thursday will be my first day back wading on the water stay bless and safe my fishing family.
It sounds like you are over due for a lunker! What type of fish do you catch?
@@RadReelingFishing red, trout, sheepshead and i have a spot for flounder lol if ur ever in deep south TX let me know brother man.
hey JC , love your vids . been a subscriber since your fist video . i didnt realise that til the other day . im in miami and i am a huge kayak fisherman . since march 12t i havent worked at all . fishing is te only safe form of entertainment ive got now . im loving all the time on the water for sure . your videos definatley give me insperation to get out on the water . whenall this covi is over i hope to see you out there . and thanks for not getting political too. its nice to have an escape from all that nonsense even if its just for a couple minutes . look foward to your vids every day .
Thanks for being a dedicated sub. You are greatly appreciated. Fishing really has been a great escape from the current situation. The only difficulty I've had is not being able to launch the kayak in certain areas due to beaches or boat ramps being closed. Thanks again for hanging around for the past three years.
i loved ur commentary lol
So much life out there. Very cool video bro!
Awesome vid JC. When I lived in Jacksonville would go shrimping during season and catch 5 gallon bucket (limit) with 10 ft cast net and shrimp bait. Seeing how you can throw a net, can catch alot and faster. Although your method is more relaxing and enjoyable
Yeah, it's a blast to get out there and walk the flats at night. There is so much life in the water to enjoy looking at. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Man JC! So good to see a great new video! I was wondering about you...but makes sense you're taking care of yourself. Luckily I have an essential job, so I wasn't that effected with my income but not the same volume of work as it used be. Still these past Saturdays was able to do some fishing and found new great spots since the Keys are still not having non residents go through. Man incredible all these marinas are a mad house now they've repoened
Thanks for watching and sharing how things are going with you. I really enjoyed watching the Key West Kayak videos of the empty beaches and spots he was able to fish during the shut down. I've been enjoying very little traffic on the bridges when I've been out night fishing. It's a huge change from before.
@@RadReelingFishing yeah I'm also a sub with Steve @ Key West Kayak Fishing channel...yeah he did a recent bike run showing the beaches...wow they look so much cleaner than before can't wait to go back there.
Keep up the great work, OG JC...! 😉👍🏽
Loved the video 👍 be safe & thank you!
Hey JC, that was a great video ,I really enjoyed it I have to get out in the next couple weeks around the full moon and try that so simple ,glad your doing well ,stay safe and healthy my friend ,fortunately I work in an essential job with a very small and elite crew,and I work afternoons so I fish in the mornings during the week when it's not crowded sometimes I'm out in my boat or kayak all by myself ...Blessings and keep them coming your the best...
Thanks for watching and commenting. I've found the kayak to be a safe place for sure. I'm going to hit the water in the morning in the 106 Sportsman Powered By Minn Kota.
Cool. BonTemps Some of my pals are playing again around town,,, Naples, Ft Myers. I had the same thing where I'm fishing , on the beach, by mysself and people come up within a foot of me and want to talk. I don't get it. I actually ask them, politely to back up and maintain social distancing. I'm 73 with emphysema and heart disease. I don't need anyone breathing on me. Anyway enjoyed the vid. stay safe and thanks for sharing.
Grrat meal. I'm suffering here in Puerto Rico. We haven't been able to fish since March 15. Very strict rules. Stay safe out there JC
Thanks for sharing. Hopefully there will be a medical breakthrough soon and we can get vaccinated.
I have done the shrimping and crabbing the same way you did done pretty good at it . Never made a video but i think i would mount the camera somewhere else .
take me with you :)
Can you do some crab trap videos?
Nice 👍 JC !!
Fun video!
Up here in Maryland and Virginia we don't boil our crabs and shrimp we steam them but down south y'all haven't learned how to steam them lol
Ha ha...I'm going to have to look into that. I'll eat um, either way, YUMMY!
I snook fish at night, I shrimp n blue crab at night....let’s link up once or twice...I think I’m fairly close to you. Largo, FL...!🤙🏽
Safer at home is right. I thought I was being safe fishing in the middle of the night for snook until last night an FWC officer was waiting in the bushes for me at a roadside launch. He must have seen my lights heading in while he was checking the shore fishing guys under the bridge. He didn't even end up checking my hard card, just wanted to see how I have my kayak set up because he is curious about the hobby. He was not wearing a mask though.
Were you able to get the encounter with the warden on video?
@@RadReelingFishing It was too dark, didn't want to shine my bright camera lights at him. Would have been good click bait though, lol. He was totally cool as they usually are.
This reminded me of when Forrest Gump went shrimping
Ha ha...my middle name's Bubba.
Hey jc I’m boiling some crabs today here in Louisiana ,if you ice them down for awhile next time the claws will stay on
Thanks for the tip. I have to get out there and get some more soon. Those two just weren't enough to wet my appetite.
I tried Everglades original and I hate it because they put rosemary in it. I love their cactus dust seasoning though.
Thanks for commenting. I wondered what that strange flavor was in it. When I first tried it I seasoned the chicken I was cooking too much and didn't really like it. Then the next few times I lightened up on the amount and really liked the flavor. I'll have to try the cactus dust. Thanks for watching.
Hey JC man i need to come to Florida to go fishing and do some shrimping im in tx we have non of that lol
Can any kind of crab be used for bait? Catch white ones in the gulf side sometimes.
No, Stone Crabs cannot be used for bait. You have to research the FWC website. I recently saw on another channel where someone said Hermet Crabs cannot be used for bait, but I haven't researched to see if that's true or not...
Great video man... definately earned my sub... wanna get into jetski fishing, crabbing and lobstering.... i guess... lol whats a good spot closeby to the Tampa/ lakeland area?
Can’t go wrong with that Everglades...Everglades has a couple few other seasonings....try fish N chicken too..!
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into getting some different versions. Thanks for watching.
Glad your still uploading!! I’m just now getting into fishing me and my fiancé both bought kayaks and we are starting to go fishing on our off days. So far we have gone out fishing 3 or 4 times and haven’t gotten a bite yet. Btw we live in Kentucky so no salt water lol. But do you have any suggestions for just getting started jc?
Thanks for watching and commenting. I've never fished in KY. If I'm fishing for largemouth bass in FL. my favorite lure is always a plastic worm.
@@RadReelingFishing I've been using crank baits, and I'm getting absolutely nothing. starting to realize I have no idea on what lures to use for certain fish lol. do you have any suggestions on what type of worm to use ?
@@close396 I like the stick worms, the original was the Senko brand. I fish them sinkerless if the water is eight feet deep or less. If deeper I use a Texas rig with a 1/8 ounce to 3/16 bullet weight. This is the brand, type and worm color I like: amzn.to/3c4p9U4 (paid link)
@@RadReelingFishing awesome thank you !!!
I've been fishing a lot out on my kayak by myself. Occasionally I just go out in an area where I can "social distance" and fish off the shore. I'm working 2 weeks on 2 weeks off.
Yeah, kayak fishing works great for social distancing for sure. Glad to hear you have been able to work. Are you in Florida?
@@RadReelingFishing nope unfortunately I'm all the way in Oklahoma. Stationed here in the Air Force. I'm from close to Jacksonville, and my family still lives there so we go there for about a month every year. We haven't yet this year though because of the stuff going on.
@@timothydavey7569 Alright, thanks for your service!!!! I hope you get home to the family soon. Have you caught some decent Walleye? I hear they are delicious.
@@RadReelingFishing I've only caught a few small ones. One keeper. It's in my freezer right now, but I'm trying to figure out how to catch more. It's definitely a learning curve
I'm going to try to catch some this weekend with my son. Where did you get that net? it looks perfect for scooping shrimp and crabs.
Walmart may have the. Here's an Amazon link amzn.to/2ElwHmF (paid link)
Hey JC, great vid. Any good spots or general areas you could suggest for blue crab? Lookin for some pointers. Haven't had much luck, I'm local in your area.
Thanks!
I never really catch many when I go out. It's just a matter of getting on the grass flats from any public access and putting in the time. I'm guessing you've had some decent luck with catching shrimp if you've been out recently. They should be plentiful right now.
@@RadReelingFishing gotcha. Yea, the shrimp have been out in large numbers in the flats and under bridges.
Do you know any good areas down here in Miami
Thanks for watching. No.
you should have used that blue crab for black drum bait.
Right on, or even Tarpon. I'm hearing we are getting some big Tarpon around some of our bridges right now.
Hey JC, I moved to SW Florida a year ago and have been crabbing with traps, and I do pretty well. I would like to do some shrimping I've watched your buddy Mike D also and he uses a cast net. Is there a better time of the year for both crabbing and shrimping? Thanks Bud keep safe..
Thanks for asking. I don't know much about the seasons. There are multiple articles on this topic online. You will get your best info there for sure.
Free meal lol
Thank God my work was not affected. My wife would work me to death. Thank you
Ha ha...Thanks for the humor, too funny.
Nice video way to change it up. Shrimping ain't easy
What’s the best months to shrimp?
Thanks for asking. I've been told that June is a good month in SW Fl. If you search for "Florida shrimp seasons" you'll find some articles Here's a pretty good one: leenoga.com/catch-shrimp/
Will there be a video on those big snook!!?
Not sure. I had some issues with the camera footage.
Can u catch shrimp anywhere near New smyrna??
I dont' know. I always wade grass flats for them.
@@RadReelingFishing okay thanks for the tip!
Is that way too legal to Use
But y put them together. Crab will destroy the shrimpers before u can work with them
👍😁
Read Romans 8;28 and Phillipians 4 KJV. God bless. love and prayers from Alabama
