      We don't like to waste anything. It doesn't make since to buy crab bait If you're catching lots of fish. Crabs are scavengers and will eat any type of meat. We also do a lot of crabbing with shrimp heads from the shrimp we catch trawling.

    I love crabbing anyway I can, unfortunately I live to far away to do it, used to live in southwest Louisiana and went to the bayou with string, chicken necks, and a net with a basket, that was a lot of fun with my wife and youngest son, as we dodged the alligators to catch crabs, also would visit my brother in NJ and go crabbing with him with individual small pots, that too was fun, am now 81 years old and am not able to get around anymore. Love eating fresh steamed crabs. Love your channel and enjoy riding along with you and Stephanie on your crab and shrimp ventures.

      Thanks. We're probably done with shrimping this year. We were at the point that we weren't catching enough shrimp to keep justifying going. On top of that, we encounter more issues with our shrimp trawl boat. I hope I can strengthen some of the problems out before next year's trawl season.

  • @MeredithHopkins

    Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!!!! Hope y’all had a wonderful holiday.
    I was born and raised in South Louisiana and was always told if you use chicken for crabbing, the smellier/stinkier it is the better you’ll do catching crabs. I’ve only been crabbing one time and we left the chicken in a ziplock bag outside for 48 hours before using it. We did catch crabs but were only crabbing off a pier not in the marsh.
    Thanks for another great video. I really enjoy watching y’all do what you love. You make me feel like we’re friends and we’re right there together doin what y’all love and having fun. Have a fantastic week❤😊

    • @SaltyReflections
      @SaltyReflections  7 місяців тому +1

      Happy Holidays. I'm still convinced that fish works better than chicken for catching crabs, but the crabbing location is what matters the most.

    • @MeredithHopkins
      @MeredithHopkins 7 місяців тому +1

      I agree with you about the location. I know every time y’all use fish you definitely reap the blessings with the amount of crabs in your pots!! I’ve never used fish before but I guarantee if I get the chance to go crabbing one day, I’m definitely gonna try it❤️

      In the fire service we had pike poles long poles with a hook on the end. Maybe slide it up and try and hook them down. You would definitely need a smaller version of it.

      Crabs are like buzzards. I wonder if a buzzard would be as yummy as a crab.🤪😁😆

    • @joshwheeler3297
      @joshwheeler3297 7 місяців тому

      That’s a common theory but not true. Crabs can be picky eaters. Bait a pot with rotten bait and one with fresh bait and see what works best. The fresh bait will catch 10x the rotten bait. Rotten bait will also draw more small crabs and females.

    • @SaltyReflections
      @SaltyReflections  7 місяців тому

      I've heard plenty of others say, they like letting their chicken set out a couple of days before using it to bait their crab traps. The fish works good fresh or after it's been frozen. Lots of the bait we use has been frozen not rotten. You may be right. Sounds like a test in need. lol.@@joshwheeler3297

And for the price, beats chicken. But you can use either and they gonna eat. When we were kids and carp fishing, crabs would get online w corn and shredded wheat

      Yes, it would help to weigh your traps down to help it stay on the bottom. Our tides here in SC will move traps that aren't weighted making them hard to find.
