- Blue Crabs, In this video we'll be setting our Blue Crab Traps [ Pots ] in the St. Johns River, Florida. The crabbing hasn't been that good so we were surprised to have a decent catch of Blue Crabs that day. After loading the boat and getting back home we Cooked the Crabs and had a Blue Crab boil for two. Catch and Cook #crabbinginthestjohnsriver #bluecrabsstjohnsriver #catchingbluecrabs #StJohnsRiverCrabbing

Thank you for your videos my wife and are your age. We like to crab, shrimp and fish the way you do.

Thanks Roy
Love your channel. The meals you cook with the crabs always looks delicious.
Thanks, we eat a lot of crabs lol.
West Virginia here, I admire what you are doing. Dare I say a bit jealous!
Thank you, nice hearing from West Virginia
Great video. I caught 6 rusty belly blue crabs last weekend at Fort DeSoto. I love doing a full pot cooked with all the sides at the same time. We also put in a sliced kielbasa with ours.
That sounds good, Thanks a lot for Watching and good luck with your crabbing.
great video thanks you two
Thanks, we're glad you enjoy our videos
Yum, Yumm, Yum!!! I Love Maryland Blue Crabs Yum, Yumm, Yum!!!
Your right, they were very good, Thanks a lot for Watching
Thanks Sam I am going to make a crab sandwich 🥪 I never thought about this.
Vanessa, every time we have Blue Crabs I pick a pile of meat and mix it with some mayonnaise and put it on one of Joyce's homemade rolls or bread, you can't beat it..
You guys are on a roll I really enjoy watching your videos keep them coming from the Midlands of South Carolina we will be watching
Nice hearing from you Tim and Thanks again for Watching
Look at those knots, NICE!
Thanks
Awesome video! I would love to have a big plate of crab! Love watching you two. God bless you both! 🙏🦀
Thank you very much. If you live near the water ask around where people crab and get some ring type traps and give it a try. Hope you get some crabs one way or another. Thanks again for Watching
Hope u guys stay safe, I just got off 5am working outside all night at Amazon and it's nasty out there and I'm in the Orlando/Tampa area so I know it's bad there I've seen some footage🙏🙏🙏 life of a truck driver🤦♀️
We're ok so far, we'll be alright if the rain stops. Be careful out there on the road Tashika

Thank you and Thanks for Watching
Love your videos. Can’t wait to get back out on the water myself
Hope you can get out soon, Thanks for Watching
Oh that looks so good enjoyed it
Thanks Chuck
I hope I can do this once in a while when I retire! great video!
You will, especially crabbing it's easy you don't need a big boat the crab pots last a long time and most of the time you don't use very much gas. Thanks a lot for Watching
Joise has a barrel of crabs like the monkey game lol
You're right lol. Thanks for Watching
Sam you are tieing a clove hitch top with a half hitch love all your videos
Your right two half hitches would be tied around the standing end a similar knot it just came out of my mouth that way getting old LOL. Thanks a Lot for Watching
Nice video as always. One thing I noticed is that at the end of the video, when you dumped the crabs out on the plate, the one crab was still a little green on top. That tells me that it isn’t cooked all the way. At least that’s what happened to me. Only when the shell is completely red are they done. Keep up with these videos. I enjoy them very much!
Thanks Bernie, I'll have to look at that, it was probably a shadow or something going on with the video. We always boil or steam our crabs for at least 10 minutes. But I'm going to check it out. Thanks a lot for Watching
No, thank you for making those videos. I’m an avid crabber myself, but haven’t crabbed for a long time. I had a commercial crabbers license years ago and crabbed the Chesapeake bay and it’s rivers. I used drop nets at first, but then went to trot lines because I could catch more crabs and quicker too. I turned to only fishing because crabbing was so poor. I stopped crabbing, but never stopped eating them. My wife and I moved to SW Florida and have a place on the canal. Crabbing here seems to be very good! I own a nice center console that I take out in the Gulf to fish. I decided I want to crab again, so I bought a used 14’ aluminum skiff for $200 and will use drop nets on floats to start crabbing again. Wish me luck and when I get her in the water, I’ll let you know how I’m doing. Good luck on St John’s river!
Good luck with the skiff
Damm, all the videos I have watched realize I have the Same name. Hey Sam ! Nice job!
Thanks for Watching Sam
I love catching crabs hand line. I’m trying to find a good spot to crabs.
When we go to a new area we usually check out the state parks or National Seashore Parks they will tell you where to crab in the area we also ask locals about crabbing in the area. Thanks a lot for Watching
Dang can I come to dinner lol
Any time. Thanks again for Watching
Just curious Where are yall originally from? How long have y’all been together. Y’all treat each other like me & my husband lol
We're from New Jersey (Atlantic City area), we've been married 57 years and we've been in Florida for about 40 years. Thanks a lot for Watching
If you don't mind me asking. Do you guys live near Fleming Island. I've been wanting to get my boy out and to try. We don't have a boat. We only go to areas and drop off docks @ Drs. Inlet.
No we don't we set our crab traps south of there just past Palatka. I think Fleming Island area should have some good crabbing. Thanks a lot for Watching
Love your videos. Welaka boat ramp ?
Thanks, you're right, Welaka
@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors I love that area of the Saint Johns river. I was born and raised in green cove springs Florida. Caught some nice crabs in crescent lake.
Check out f v miss Paul's he has several videos how to cook crabs and why he does them that way
I will, Thanks for Watching
What's the difference between salt water and fresh water crabs?
Blue crabs, no difference except males prefer brackish to almost fresh water and females prefer salt water. Thanks a lot for Watching.
Brackish blues are tastier
Do you ever put the crabs on ice? I’ve seen this done in other videos.
Sometimes but most of the time just wet burlap or towel, you have to be careful with ice if it melts they'll drown.
I just found ur channel why do u put ur traps so deep. We set ours 5 to 8 foot maybe October 8 to 12 feet deep
Some places, like at Suwannee we set them shallow but in the St John's River we found the largest ones are in about 18 feet, we had some yesterday that were about 8 inches point to point we never caught any that size in shallow water at the area we crab just higher numbers. Thanks a lot for Watching
San Mateo, 15 to 18 ft , but 2023 hasn't been a good harvest. No crabs in this area now, 4/23
Are the yellow crabs males?
Males and Females, it means it's near the end of its molting cycle and nice and fat (lots of meat). Thanks a lot for Watching
