- EXPERIMENT! BEST bait for CRABBING - STONE CRAB TRAPS | Pig Feet vs. Fish Carcass
We have been stone crabbing every season for the past several years and have always used a variety of baits. When we have fish carcasses available that is our go-to, if we have time to get to the butcher we will buy some pigs feet and when we are in a pinch we use chicken thighs from Winn Dixie! In the past we never really questioned our choice of bait but always experimented with where to drop our traps. Early this season we found a the perfect location to drop our traps and decided it was time to experiment with bait. On this specific day we battled fish carcasses to pigs feet and were eager to learn the answer!

Shhhh
U stalking me?
Shh 🤫 yeah true
How you know?
Ya that’s what happened to me
Omg. Her expression was absolutely priceless when the crab dropped the second claw!!!!!! I haven’t laughed that hard in a while!🤣
The one person who disliked this was Eugene H. Krabs.
Imagine getting put back in the water :
His friends : brooo what happened to your claw
Priceless expression on Emily's face when the crab dropped his second claw!
Hello from Riverside Il, just outside chicago. Wow you have a great show!!!!! I love seeing your show, My wife and I love fishing, at our cottage in michigan, I I hope you all venter out to fresh water, fishing one day. I wish you all the best and one day i can charter with you one day. The best to you all. If you ever in southwest michigan, both of you welcome to musky fish at the cottage and film it there for free. it not much , but the thought. blessing to you all.
You girls are so fun ! We love all the enthusiasm you bring to your channel ! All your giggles and smiles just make our day . You are so entertaining and adorable ! Please keep the videos coming !!!!
Have y’all ever tried using cow tongue? We caught a lot of blue crab one time during vacation. Wasn’t hard to find either, we just went to the towns local grocery store.
Being an avid fly fisherman, I'm a big believer in matching the hatch. While scavengers will eat basically anything, i gotta believe fish carcasses would do better. Dead fish are their primary diet. I don't think pigs are losing too many of their feet out at sea. Haha. Great experiment ladies!
LOL...the look on Capt Emily’s face at 12:25 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😇😇😇😇🥺🥺🥺😂😂😂😂
Another great informative video..! Here on the west coast of Canada, when I go crabbing, If I don't have any left over fish carcasses for bait I just go to the grocery store and buy the cheapest tins of cat food in whatever fish flavour they have. Its excellent crab bait, just open up the can partway to let out all the smell but not open enough that the crabs can eat all you bait. Generally we drop traps in the morning, fish all day and then come back to the traps for the crabby bounty. Give it a try and let us know how it works. Cheers
I was just thinking it would be cool if there was a new video from gale force twins and there was you made me happy
That's a lot of work for 4 legs lol.
Pig's feet interesting bait, two claws for the price of one!!! Your laughs are priceless
I’m in the Netherlands and I recently discovered you girls on Facebook. I am not a fisherman at all but with you two I would really like to try some day. You are so enthusiastic and positive and funny and entertaining. I really love what you are doing, so keep up the good work.
😆🤣 when the crab fell
We desperately needed Iguana in this Test!
You ladies rock!
Try and see how different kinds of fish carcass attract stone crabs! I think the king fish carcass worked well because its an oily fish, unlike the yellowtails.
Oh boy it’s a good thing both of those claws were keepers
I would try it but to much snow here gonna have to wait till spring...Fish on
I’ve just discovered your channel (from Facebook) and it’s wildly addicting! I love deer meat for dinner, but this may be my new favorite Florida channel. Makes me miss living by the ocean!
Thank you!! We appreciate that very much 😊🐟
Anything rotten stinky an oily always works...lol....we used to use chicken necks for blue crabs an cought tons of em there like the catfish of the sea...lmao....stay safe an keep up the good work...tight lines always
Could you imagine if a dates arms dropped off under stress🤔?? I woulda spent most of my high school years armless! That 🦀 claw drop face is meme worthy!! 😂😂😂 Great video! Voted carcasses ✅
ROTFL @ the crab dropping it's own claws. I had been wondering after the recent 'is it legal' crab video whether there was a way you could convince a crab to drop it's claws naturally rather than forcing it. Guess the answer is yes. Now the trick is to figure out what Emily did to make it do that. LOLOL
Hey, saw you on tic toc today and I love the salt life. I hope you have a great year.
Looks like the volume of bait in the trap also has an impact. That was a lot of bait in the king fish
I was going to say the same. Most of the fish baits were completely gone yet the kingfish head which was the biggest bait had the most crabs in a single trap.
Poor little guys just wanted to eat lunch. Now they are going to be lunch. And a tasty lunch at that haha
I'd like too mention? I do wish you two would add a simple "quick tie" to your boxes?
It won't stop your being 'raided' , but......
it will let you know if someone else is running them?
I went crabbing once with my uncle around Tybee Island, and they loved the spoiled chicken wings and breast. 🤙🤙
#700 whooo hoooo this channels growing.... you go captains ....
She was so surprised and comfused looking I’m laughing so hard
Captains, something tells me crabs are not picky eaters. Try any meat, chicken pieces, chicken livers, chicken neck, hot dogs (if they will not get through the sides of your traps) etc. Heck they have been using hot dogs fishing for Northern Pike and Musky in the Midwest. Something tells me it’s more about the location. Fish on. Thanks for taking me along.
Hey Captains!!!! 😎
These ladies are quite smilliant.
Can you keep automatically-detached claws even if they are too small?
No, if you possess a small claw you’re going to get a big fat ticket, doesn’t matter how it happened.

Who's boat did you take out to set the traps in the beginning. It had 115hp motors on it??
i was about to type the same question!
the crab was like bye Felica! ahah
That was hilarious with the crab!
Great video ladies. I have one question, curious!!! Y’all have 2 boats? Some videos i see two 115hp and others I see 250hp Yamaha’s.🤔 like in this video.
Would it be more of the location than bait?
If those claws that the crab released weren't keepers, what would you have done?
Toss it overboard
Hayyy i am malayali i loves urr channel
That baby blue crab would make a great permit bait
Canned cat food is good too... Especially after the traps get yucked up. Just poke some screwdriver size holes in the cans.
Thích quá đi
Should have bluegabe give you guys a squirrel, raccoon, possum, python, pig or deer carcass or parts to try for crab bait!
We used chicken necks for blue crabs when I was growing up. I wonder if they'll catch stone crabs too?🤔
Are these ohter outboerds engies. First 115 hp now 250 hp nice fidio thanks
Also noticed....thought they went on 115 new ones....250 are back 🙅🙅🙅❓❓
Like the new title a little better. Good luck girls 👍
Edit: can u try chicken feet ?
Thank you!! We sometimes use chicken thighs but chicken feet sounds like something to try!
Awesome videos keep em coming
Have you tryed Cowhide Rolls? If you like ti try let me know to send you some..
Great video 👍
Thank you for another great and educational video ❤️
Are the entry holes on top of the trap a certain or regulated size ???
These are fun vids to watch! But am I crazy they set the traps running twin 115's, then pull up the traps running twin 225's?
Is it not peak crab season there, or are those numbers normal for a 7 day soak?
Sorry that I am late to the video awsome video keep up the great work you girls.
Nice..👍👍👍
That was cool ! Thanks girls.
Pigs Feet : 5 / 3 = 1.66 Fish Carc : 7 / 4 = 1.75 : : : Fish win. But I agree with what Emily said ... the average is pretty close anyway, and with a larger sample it would likely be even closer.
I learned king mackerel good crab bait!
you caught crabs. would using a bait cage help keep chicken or fish in the trap?
You killed that first crab
What boat were you on at first? Different engines
I think just about anything would work. Whatever you need to get rid of first.
You can use bean bag stuffing little styrofoam pellets in the concrete to make the traps lighter just mix them in the wet concrete
That's gnarly 🔥🔥
What boat is this
Went crabbing in Oregon and used chicken. Worked great
Ever worry about people stealing your crabs? That’s happened to me before so I guess you can’t really tell which catches more. Trying crabbing off the boat with each and see which happens more that’d be interesting to see!
7 days seems a long time to set traps we check our every few hrs 24hrs at most
We check out stone crab traps every 7-10 days! Any earlier and they usually don’t do very well.
You guys are awesome should be more females fishing 🎣
If you’re in a bad spot, doesn’t matter what bait you have, but you knew that.
Try turkey necks for bait.
Can the crabs survive without one claw ? Or even two? Or will they most likely get eaten since they have no way to protect themselves ?
They start off life without claws and grow them bigger as they age. I do not know the time lapse.
Rookie numbers there
I have pigs feet in my traps, and I made cages for each bait. A pigs foot has lasted a month and a half so far. Fish dissolve to fast but I think fish works better
Up here the bait is MENHADEN and I would imagine that down there the bait would be MULLET.
Fish carcasses would be the back up
For a second it looked like you were using an American flag as a towel to set the traps on, lol
Definitely not. It was just a white and red striped towel!
I think the word you want to use is deliberated, not negotiated.
How’s river
Should. Get them out the next day
Chicken rules for crab bait on the Westcoast
How does the crabs even getting
Fish brain....lol...
Do you all own both boats?
Chicken thighs are FREE at Publix. Just ask the meat counter clerk for packages past the "sell by" date. They throw a bunch of those away every day They can't sell them so you can get them for free. Manny F.
Is that a different motor I swear it said 115
7 days! Couple of hours should be plenty
Why the 2 different boats? One boat has twin Yamaha 115HP and the other has twin Yamaha 250HP.
Using a set feet to catch some hands.
Lol
If you leave the traps overnight you might want ziptie shut. That way you will know if you trap was taxed (opened) by someone.
Pigs' feet: 5 crabs in 3 traps = 1.67 +- 0.56 crabs per trap.
Fish: 7 crabs in 4 traps = 1.75 +- 0.44 crabs per trap.
So,within the margin of error, the two baits gave the same result.
Iam good at math as well but all i can think is some reading yours and looking like bobbleheads. Lol
Try chicken liver and chicken gizzards
How have you guys not figured out they have more than one boat? they have one with 250s and one with 115s the 250's probably drafts too much and is overkill for the crab fishing, better for deep-sea etc. The right tool for the job, It's not rocket science.
This thought might work if the traps that were put out weren't the same ones being picked up. It's not.....
@@larss592 That's fine as well, but tides could affect their choice as well. Regardless the transom in the "drop off" portion is different than the transom in the ""pick up" portion... therefore two different boats. its pretty simple.
@@joshuagoodstein2031 I fully agree that it is two different boats. And yes tides could absolutely affect a choice of boat and area to choose for crabbing grounds. Nobody looking for conflict here.
@@larss592 Sorry mate. all good, apologies hard to read tone. but agreed!
@@joshuagoodstein2031 Full agreed buddy. No problems here. We all have bigger fish to fry.
7 days? How does no one mess with your traps? Or you just have to trust people?
I just want to know why the crab dropped its claws.
Please tell me that is not an American Flag being used as a scratch protector for your boat?
