- Ahoy Fisho's! With the weather still not playing the game, we headed out to test the age old saying: Big rains mean Monster Crabs! My partners in crime for this trip are the Phantom and Shauno, and with the plenty of flood waters still pushing out of the creeks and rivers it was perfect conditions to see if we couldn't track down a few big mud crabs. Needless to say, the trip turned out better than we could have imagined!!! Hope you enjoy the episode Legends!

What a great video- lost my crabbing/fishing buddy in 2015 & boy do I miss it. Cheers Denise- Brisbane
When my husband and I lived in Maryland USA, he used a 200 foot trout line with chicken necks and wings tied every 3 ft. He would run the line one way and then the other way. You roll the line next to the boat and use s fish net to bring them into the boat. We crabed for Blue Channel Crabs and could get a bushel in about an hour. Have to steam them in a pot with 1 cup of water, 1 can of beer and 1 cup of vinegar with Old Bay seasoning and rock salt. Can only get old bay online or in Maryland.
Great way to cook them, but, You can get old bay in any supermarket in NY….
I love watching you enjoy this time with your dad.
The only thing better than enjoying the outdoors, is enjoing it with the old man.
So true my brother I lost my old boy way back in '07' I grew up with him fishing the exact same waters Sammy now fishes! I have tears of jealousy and joy in my eyes as I write this! So many memories So many emotions 😢 Sammy my brother from another mother please realise what you have and what So many of us desire as a reality for this video I dont thank you alone Sammy I thank you and the legend Tez, aka The Phantom for this personal trip down memory lane!!! ❤ P.s. I'm not even 10 minutes into the show! Lmfao🍻👍👍
@@hunting4sanity365 아픈 추억이 있군요 오랜시간 지나도 가끔 보고싶은것이 형제와 자매 부모지요 힘내세요 my Korea you Tube friend 👍🇰🇷🎣
Couldn’t agree more mate. Best person to share a fishing trip with! ❤️🍻🍻
Wow, I couldn't agree more. Dad and I did all kinds of fishing, hunting and camping together as I grew up. He passed many years ago. I was 15 at that time. I miss him terribly, so very grateful for the many memories of those times we spent together. Dad made those experiences happen. So gentlemen, I'm loving this video. Enjoy these times. As a Dad myself, I've tried to give my daughter some of these same experiences. You can't go wrong!!
Always good fun with you and Shauno.
I haven't mud crabbed for thirty odd years but that session definitely woke up the old fire and taste bud memories. Thanks guys.
Phantom you are a legend mate you help bring back the best memories of growing up in the bay and passage! For me you complete the show!!!
Love to see the phantom (you) out there still giving it a hot crack
Love it can I have some
With people like this,soon they will be all gone
Never grab a muddie's claw when they're locked on to something - they will always throw. Let them relax, release, and pick em up by the swimmers. Love the vids and appreciate the uploads, keep up the awesome work!
Always a good video when Shauno and the Phantom are in it
Now I want to go crabbing. I use cod carcasses or tuna carcasses the bloodier the better, we collected the blood and guts in small coffee cans when we butchered ours, stuck it all in the freezer, when frozen solid take them to the coast punch a few holes in the can put it in the trap with a carcass, then throw it in the bay. Then go back to the trailer, watch a movie or two or take a nap, fix a pot of tea and read a good book for a few hours, then go down pull the traps, check the catch rebait as necessary. I have a big ice chest that I fill half full with seawater and a couple of five gallon jugs that I take seawater home in, I then dump the keepers in the chest. Change the water the next morning. It makes for a fun overnight trip to the coast and besides the Dungeness crabs are really tasty, we do not have the mud crabs here, but we have the invasive Japanese red rock crabs in some of our bays.
Hands down the best bait out there is a bit of roadkill on the way to the boat ramp. Nothing like a sunshine-marinated kangaroo tail!
They’d be able to smell it from NSW 🤣🤣🤣
Here in UK mammal and poultry baits for crab & lobster are illegal, some risk of bacterial contamination.
Stealing from pots,is a risk of serious harm here, you could end up as free floating burley.
But then your essentially eating that too....
I tried that in one of my videos, never again 🤣
Whole chicken that 3 weeks old
On the coast of Washington State I use Chicken for Dungeness crabs, because the Sealions don't eat chicken. I've seen them tear up crab pots with fish in them!
from Indonesia, come to watch your fun UA-cam videos, greetings from your hobby, success for your channel
Down under always has aussies having clean fun. Blessings on you, mates.
Thanks for watching 🍻🍻
My only and usually successful crab pot bait were 2-3 day old aged trout heads in a zip-lock bag. That's because I lived in Alberta, Canada and saved the fish heads from my inland catches on our occasional vacation trips to the Pacific west coast and islands of British Columbia. I only had one crab pot at a time, but went trough three of them from 1974 onwards, each one of them eventually rusting or the netting deteriorating. At best one legal size crab daily, but there were lots of other seafood goodies: mussels, oysters and clams to feed us daily.
Fresh fish frames is my fav crab bait
I am a new subscriber. Thank you for a great video. I live in the USA. I love crabbing videos. Just to see how different cultures cook them up. Thank you again.
Chicken bait is the best bait for any kind of crab fishing!
Fresh tuna stakes is the way to go
I use a tin of cat food and jam holes in it with a screwdriver, works a treat
"NO LOBSTER TONIGHT HONEY....... I'M BRINGING HOME THE CRABS!!!". HAHAHAHA!!!!!
WTG MATES NICE CRAB YOU HAVE THERE ALL YOU NEED NOW IS SOME ICE COLD BEER CHEERS MATES
Mac and striped tuna for sure. It sends out a big bloody burley trail that zones them in. Best crab bait IMOA
First time watching your channel, from the crab state of Maryland, USA.. hey here we steam our crabs in beer, with OBAY SEASONING, SALT, LEMON JUICE, SQUIRT OF WHITE VINIGER..STEAM FOR 20MINS..MEAT doesn't come out watery meat is steam in beer. Dip in melted garlic butter....yum yum. As far as catching, fresh fish parts work chicken legs or heart& gizzards.
awesome crabbing and love the banter. Keep up the amazing content
My favourite bait to use is whole mullet and chicken frames. Nice vid👍
I'm amazed at your ability to count plus your pragmatism to tout.
Its funny because I have been watching Shauno's channel for a while now(Im into 4x4) and found Sammy recently(Im also into fishing)
I have never heard a man so eager to catch crabs
Uncle Buck checking in from New York been using chicken for last 50 years Blue Claws love it here .
You guys are awesome love the videos !!
Chicken for muddies and frames for sandies
Mud crab claws are equivalent to stone crab claws! So delicious 🤤🤙🏼
Being an ex-crabber commercial I always used chicken heads from the slaughter house and they worked brilliant. Next I would go for shark guts especially the Liver.
Well there you go. Haven’t heard of the shark guts one before! 👌👌🍻🍻
Good work men👌. Chicken frame with a half a mullet shoved into the chicken.👍🍻
Fresh chicken frames marinated in tuna oil 😉👍
Life goal, catch crabs with Sammy and shuano!! 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣 it would be an experience!
Wow !!! Super 💥 Thanks for your good Crab catching and good video presentation 💋🙏💋
Chicken frames been doing the treat for years Sammy. Nice haul brother!
Get yourself some old bay seasoning for cooking them and some melted butter for dipping emm
I bet if you took a spotlight at night and boated around them mangroves you’d catch a mountain of crabs
Cracking vid boys, fish frames always did the trick for us.
Good Session for a nice feed of crabs ! Got me fired up !
🎉 SoFlo here … Tampa area … best bait … dead Python. Yup . Long lasting and Stinky . Good Crabbing ❣️👍🏻
I tend to use chooks, fish frames and lamb. Definitely give lamb a try too but has to be raw tho.
Good to see Shauno make an appearance again.
Nice to see what the guys are doing.I just love it. Wish I could join them. I like it. Good luck guys. Marie Reyes.
Love the content. MY new go to for UA-cam. Thanks for the awesome content!! I have a lot of watching to do.
Begin the rest is easy. 👍
Nice vid bois,nicer crabs,cuple off pro’s up at Mackay will use any fresh fish from there nets but will get exited and suggest Roo as 1#
My last trip up there I had a accident and went back to see what nature this accidental mishap was in,wasn’t in the best shape so came the rest of the trip up
Wow!You guys are awesome catching all those big crabs 🦀 👍👍good job!Watching from Washington USA
Salmon or tuna frame is always my go too
I wish I lived down under…. I swear I did in a past life, because the exotic animals and land and people just speak to me and I feel like I miss it. Like its familiar but I grew up in the Appalachian mountains. Who knows 🤷♂️ but I do know them Mud crabs gotta be delicious
Chicken Frames!!!!
After the floods always used to set our traps near any dead cow floating down the river 👍👍 and Roo tail for bait
Honestly those will all work for crab .
-Fresh chicken backs are cheap and good
-Turkey necks work ( makes them crazy )
- old stinky ( raw chicken) attracts everything, snails, stone crab, blue crab and pufferfish
I think stinky chicken sends the most. Scent
Mullet sammy. Few dead. One alive up the top. And Fyi N.S.W. born and bread and have always let Jenny's go. Plus if you have a Jen in a pot. Keep her in she attracts the bucs. Love your work mate.
That's a good idea, pretty obvious when u think about it.
We use chicken drums for hand lines and dip nets
10 big bucks for 3 dudes is an epic day!😎 we have blue crabs and stone crabs in the US which are different but this still looks like a nice haul for this species!😎. I would say any crab along with a cpl of cold ones-is a damn good day!
Sure is my friend doesn't matter where in the word it is!!!
Beers and crabs are a match made in Heaven 🤤🤤🤤
I crab on the Oregon coast and mostly use chicken. Crabs love it but the seals don't. Seals will rip your pots open to get fish.
Yeah that wouldn’t be ideal! Dam seals!
2:47 naughty peg 😂😂
Mudd crabs blue crabs🦀 love 💕 rotten chicken 🐓 we always used rotten stinky chicken the stinkier the more we caught!!!
Well done Guys, a long time ago I learnt to be very careful of a crab that has dropped a claw, I didn't know that the pressure continues after the claw detaches, and it just happened to be around my rod, No Shauno, not that rod, it crushed that fiberglass rod like a hot knife through butter! And it was a jenny, but the claw was still wrapped around my rod, I couldn't throw it back,It was delicious:)
Chicken frames go alright up there Good luck lads
Gr8 video Sammy. Live watching & the tips. A shout out to the phantom(the d fellas) the only one game enough to tie up the crabs. Go the phantom. Cheers guys.
That’s should have said the old fellas
Hahah the phantom has been tying crabs since well before I was born. He had to show us how it was done! 👌💪
Squid is best.
Great fun mate
I've always had great success with turkey necks.
Oyster an tuna teen I reckon the best 👌🏽 👍
How good was that! Got to love a good crabbing session
I need to do more of it I think!! 👌👌
I don't know why but fresh pork liver sounds like good bait
Great Video! Would be fantastic to see a video on Spanner Crabbing as well.
Working on it mate 👌👌🍻🍻
Hi Sammy, great video. Can you share your recipe for your sugar and salt bath ? Also do you have a salt to water ratio you use for the cooking pot ? Looking to find a better way to cook these guys. Thanks mate, cheers, Steve
One time I went crab trapping I used squid and mackerel chunks, the pot was so full of crabs I thought it had been caught up on bottom but slowly and surely it was a full pot of crabs.
A great watch 👍🏴
Thanks Ali 🍻🍻🙌🙌
Cooked duck is another great bait
Thank you for sharing this video!
Great video and love the style of the crab pots, used to help my uncle with his hobby pots on the Chesapeake Bay
Kangaroo tail hands down
My favourite crabbing bait is mullet heads, every time me and my dad go crabbing we always catch atleast 3 crabs or more keepers. We also use fish frames like you are and we use chicken legs
Nice one mate 👌👌
i like this kind of vlog
Wow..I love to cook mud crabs ..
We use chicken,chicken livers for cat fish bait in the states,it's best to let it sit a few days in a bag in or mostly in the sun makes it super stinky...
You Have Crabs!

Question have you ever tried putting the mud crabs in ice water to make them in a type of sleep? It works here in Washington State for crabs!
Top video Sammy. Best bait is chicken frames.
I watching you all catching your catch
Great vid mate👍
Fresh mullet for me 🦀🍻
Live in NY and chix best bait hands down-the stinkier/older the better it seems
Everything and everyone likes a bit of chicken. Used to catch Carolina blue crabs with chicken necks as a kid. Catching crabs, at least the eating kind- is a good time.
Yeah Sammy! You got crabs!!
😂😂. Nice one mate
Not again! 🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣
Chicken frames all day in Townsville
chooks all the way
You won't get away with grabbing Blue Crab off the Texas coast. They're fast and seem to be able to reach anywhere.
Well there you go!
Doing so well with your channel Sammy 🙏you’ll be at 100 k soon enough then doing it full time ✌🏻😃✌🏻
I live in Rhode Island in the US and Chicken is one of my favorite crab bait’s.
Ilove grabs with coconut
I like to use magpie goose frames as bait.
Might be hard to get over there, but Old Bay seasoning in the boil pot is how we do it here on the east coast of Merica
jebakan kepiting mantap sekali abg, panen banyak hari ini abg.
Blue crabs are a mainstay over here in the states and if you hunt around enough you can find packs of chicken backs on-line.....is a by-product of breaking up a bird and has about 80% of the fat..feet go to China and the rim......competition for wings is fierce......and mass pieces and parts are at the Big box by the 10 lb bag.......we consider that left over fish guts and pieces will work 2 but chicken is the bait of choice
Those look delicious!
I have used alot of baits in pots and my top 3 mackerel heads. lamb liver (is my favourite) and good old fresh caught mullet yeah lamb liver has always caught me the most and the biggest mudcrabs
Mr. Sammy have you tried the raw chicken parts?? It is great for crabbing!! When my X boy friend and I went fishing we used to pour cans of tuna fish in the water then fish would come from every direction!!
Make sure that you are in a bigger boat because it attracts real big fish too!!
