- Blue Crabs & Shrimp, In this video we'll be setting our Blue Crab Traps and Shrimping in the St. Johns River. After letting our Blue Crab Traps [Pots] set over night we decided to do some shrimping in the river before pulling them. We shrimped for about 2 hrs. and ended up with enough shrimp for a few meals. Then we pulled our crab traps which had quite a few Jumbo Blue Crabs. Catch and Cook

Sam, you got you a good woman, Joyce is into every aspect of getting the fish, crabs, shrimp, she even pulls the traps and helps clean and then cook them................ LIFE IS GOOD for both of you, keep it up!
You're right, we both enjoy doing the same things.
Joyce said hes throwing around the net not trying to catch the shrimp . He just likes throwing the net .😮@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors
Tell him Joyce don't throw the crabs overboard dang it I eat em! Too funny . Great job guys! Love ya!
I was going to pick them so I wanted some big ones. They all look big to Joyce lol.
I'm with Joyce. Don't you be throwing them crab back in the water,buster
I'm going to let them shed one more time then we'll keep them lol. Thanks for Watching
Great video!!! Sam you need to stop throwing the crabs back and listen to Joyce 😂 They look delicious!!😊
I was going to pick them and I didn't want to pick small ones. They all look big to Joyce lol. Thanks a lot for Watching
Finally, cooking the crab with the shell on. The best way in my opinion. I'm from Maryland and we steam crabs and would never think of cleaning them first. I love watching you two, and I love Joyce's giggle!
We got in the habit of cleaning crabs years ago when we lived up north in an area that had a lot of pollution, the state recommended cleaning the crab before cooking because most of the toxins are in the guts. I actually got sick eating crabs from a bad area, that.area is clean now . I also can't tell a big difference between steaming, boiling, cleaning or baking them, they all taste good to me. Thanks a lot for Watching
i am from the islands...Barbados & we clean crabs fore we cook um...cooking with the shell on is not our favorite thing to do...i cringe at hw u maryland ppl cook crab
I am a lot like Sam, when I get to throwing the cast net and it ahs good shrimp every throw, it's hard to stop until you have a limit....lol. Love watching you two do your thing, don't ever stop. God bless you and keep the videos coming.
You're right it is very hard to stop I guess it's addicting lol. Thanks a lot for Watching
I knew there had to be a video around here somewhere that I'd enjoy. 👍🏆
Thanks, we're glad you enjoy our videos
Hi @The Old Couple Outdoors - Sam & Joyce, again a beautiful couple, a beautiful video, a beautiful day, a beautiful catch and a beautiful meal. I do appreciate you both sooooooo much😍❤️
Thanks again
Thanks Monica for the nice comments
Hey guys, Mr. Sam you threw back 2 many crabs, lol. I knew Ms. Joyce would be fussing.
Deloris, I'm going to let them grow up a little more, one more shed lol. Always nice hearing from you
I enjoy this very much two older people still together after all and they found a way to enjoy each others company
You're right we both enjoy doing the same things. Thanks for Watching
Miss Joyce cat fish, R delicious on the Blackstone especially if you’re black in them they are delicious. If you ever want to try one before you catch, you cook your own you and your husband go to Cracker Barrel and get a grilled catfish dinner running about 15 bucks for each person and that’s with three vegetables I don’t believe you just be disappointed.🦀🦀🦀🦐🦐🦐 be sure to let me know how you love that catfish dinner
Years ago we were fishing in the mouth of the Suwannee River trying to catch Redfish but we're only catching catfish so we kept some for dinner at the end of the day our daughter caught a nice redfish that night we cooked the catfish and the redfish, comparing the two the redfish won, not even close. Maybe we'll try it again. Thanks a lot for Watching our videos.
@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors will miss Joyce. I believe if you tried that Cracker Barrel grilled not fried catfish dinner if they have I believe you’ll like it I really do and please let me know if you do go to Cracker Barrel and get it like I said, I don’t believe you’ll be disappointing at all, if you are disappointing, you can give it back to them and they’ll bring you something else. Just tell them it doesn’t taste right to you and I’ll bring you another meal. Whatever you choose.
What an awesome catch and meal!. Nice job Sam and Joyce. Much love from Geneva Florida . ✨💜 🦀. Shr😊
It’s a joy watching you all.
Thanks, we're glad you enjoy our videos
I have been WAITING on the next video.....Thank you GUYS...So Inspiring.
Thanks Lisa
WOW!!!! That dinner looks AWESOME! GREAT Video!
Thanks, it was good and Thanks again for Watching
Love the way you folks work as a team and enjoy what you are going.
We both enjoy the same things so it makes it easy. Thanks for Watching
Thank you, we have been watching all of your videos and enjoying them very much. Our last video we gave you 2 a shout out for giving us a different way of cooking crabs.
We're glad you enjoy our videos and Thanks for the shout out
Really nice day out there guys.
Looks like a bit of a crowd moved in around you.while you were shrimping.
Sam did you make that net or buy it? Most of the ones ive seen look cheap.
No Ed I didn't make the net, it's a net made by Fitec a mid range net. I don't buy expensive nets because if you shrimp a lot you'll tear it up. I also don't buy cheap nets because they usually don't open completely. Nice hearing from you
You guys are amazing. I'm going to move to Florida and become your new best friend that you invite to crab and shrimp feasts!!!! I'll do the dishes!!!! Love you!!! ❤❤❤😂😂😂
Sounds good Nancy and Thanks for Watching
Love the video❤ crabs were nice size! Joyce... Put your foot down on the throwback..lol lol... Actually I'm glad you guys are so picky😂 Love from the State of Virginia❤
Thanks, we'll catch them the next time they shed, they'll be bigger lol.
👍👍.................
Thanks
Hay Sam and Joyce. I just watched one of your videos and noticed the serving plates on your table that was marked with the logo of Capt. Starns. Back in the 60's my whole family worked there. My father was a dock master, my mom worked in the office and I was a bate cuter on the Lone Ranger. Seeing those plates brought back a lot of memories.
I started to work on the party boats when I was 10 years old the first one was the Emma R, then as follows Capt Starn III, Capt Starn V, the Capt Swam (commercial fishing), Capts Baby, Miss Atlantic City, Helena G Starn, Endeavor (commercial fishing) and others besides Starn's. All when I was young, I remember the Lone Ranger and all the others, all day boats fare was $5.00. My dad Captained at one time almost all the boats Starn owned. Capt. Bert Whitaker. Some of the best memories of my life. We've been eating off those plates for 50 years. Nice hearing from you.
A very successful harvest. When will you open your own restaurant?
Thanks, I do have my own private restaurant and cook lol. Thanks a lot for Watching
Wonderful video. It feels like I'm right there with you guys catching those shrimps and crabs😊. And the cooking part is always Mmm Mmm fingerlicking good 😋
Thanks Curtis, wish you were here
Those are some monster crabs and beautiful shrimp. I got some dunginous crabs picked to make a pot of Joyce’s Crab Bisque. Will send you pictures. Stay safe guys
David, that sounds good, I like Dungeness crabs we caught them when we were in Oregon. Looking forward to the pictures.
Nice platter of shrimp and crab there bud... Thought Joyce was gonna yell at ya for throwing those crabbies back!!! Great seeing you still out there catching em! Have a great one!
Joyce wants to keep everything lol. Thanks again for Watching
I love watching y’all ! I’m on the Texas coast near Rockport, and boy do we love crabs! Hope you get your electric up and running soon!
We're glad you enjoy our videos. The power is back on, the only thing we have to get is a new refrigerator, it got damaged from a power surge.
Oh we can taste them.... man Those were some nice crabs .... question do you prefer steamed crabs or boiled crabs?
After all these years we're still not sure, lol. So we'll keep cooking them both ways. Thanks for Watching
Love you guys! You caught a good meals worth and then some. Do you ever go night shrimping with a light and net? Take care of yourselves❤
We used to go night shrimping a lot before we started cast netting shrimp, now we don't have to stay up until 3:00 in the morning lol. Thanks a lot for Watching
I love to watch you two out and about, catching.
But, when you guys clean before cooking or steaming, im out. Lol
Thanks, we cook them whole sometimes but when we're in Mississippi we always clean them first because they're not as messy eating them in our hotel room. Thanks again for Watching
I still think you are the best cast net guy there is,and Joyce is the best 1st mate there is and cook.kallamazoo Michigan said that ❤❤❤..
Thanks for the nice comments. I bet it's starting to get cold up there.
The catfish must be eating the shrimp love shrimp lol but the crabs are yummy too good eating tonight Sam and Joyce much love from Tennessee
Thanks Helen
My wife and I are going to galf coast Alabama in November for two weeks and I’m going to try some crabbing hand line any suggestions in locations?
You won't be far from Pascagoula Mississippi and you don't need a license to crab with handlines or ring style traps. Stop in Wayne Lee's supermarket and fishing tackle for your crab bait ( chicken ). There are several piers and docks at the boat ramps in that area.
I'm pretty dang sure I won't ever get tired of watching Sam throw a net or Joyce dropping crab traps. I'm laid up with a broken femur that required emergency surgery to install a metal plate and 9 screws. YUK!
Your trips on the water always bring me joy! That's again guys! Stay well and keep bringing us great content! God bless. 👍❤🙂
P. S. Don't ever fall down as a senior person....it's never a good thing! 😕
Thanks Cindy, you're right about falling I tell Joyce that all the time she falls too often because she moves too fast the last time was about 5 months ago, we thought she broke something but she was lucky again, it still bothers her though. We hope everything works out for you and you heal fast. Thanks again for Watching
Second!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Close lol. Thanks for your support
Hi Sam and Joyce, Have you ever thought about setting shrimp pots instead of using a cast net? A lot of recreational anglers in Alaska use shrimp pots to catch deep water spotted shrimp, thinking it might work well where you are. What a beautiful platter of big crabs! So delicious 😋
Joyce wanting to keep ALL the small crabs is too funny 😂🦀🦀🦀🦀
I thought about using shrimp pots, they're legal in Florida I just never got around to it. Joyce wants to keep everything lol. The large crabs were heavy and full of meat but the small ones were light and would hardly have any meat. Thanks for Watching
Always enjoy your videos. You handle that castnet really well.
Thank you and Thanks for Watching our videos
Great videos y'all do it all catch clean and cook that's what is up and y'all get along great some fishing videos would be nice
We want to do more fishing videos but every time we're able to go it's blowing and rough. Thanks for Watching
Just got home from work. Full watch.
Thanks we appreciate it
Always wondered where the crab get in the trap . And have also wondered why they cant get back out where they got in . Never seen a show about the traps evidently.
There are 4 funnels on our traps in the bottom chamber the crabs come in through those funnels and some work their way to the upper chamber where it's harder for them to get out. It is possible for them to get out through the funnels but it doesn't happen often because they're not able to find the inside end of the funnel. Thanks for Watching
Thanks for what you do. Love, that you catch a variety.♥️🦀🙏🏻🦐
Thanks, we've been trying to get out fishing more but the hurricane slowed us down a little. Thanks for Watching
OMG THOSE CRABS ARE HUGE! my hubby and i are trying to decide where to retire…. i want a house on the river so i can crab and fish but he worries about flooding if there is bad weather… he wants to be on a lake or anywhere (even NOT on water).. lakes wont have crabs, etc, right? so i need to find rivers that are not known for flooding but good for retiring where they dont tax you to death, including your retirement income.
im not really into fla ONLY due to the constant storms, bugs, gators, and.. did i say bugs? lol. so, if you have any tips of other rivers in the country that are not prone to flooding out homes and good for lower taxes.. I am all ears.
For crabbing shrimping and fishing you can beat Mississippi between Bay St. Louis and Pascagoula, we call it the Biloxi area. We visit about once a month. Homes are reasonable and the people are very friendly.
@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors we wanted to avoid that area as its high risk for direct hits of hurricanes, but thought maybe the river that runs up and along miss would be good for crabbing? are you familiar with the areas like that, but northward enough that it wont be a direct hit for hurricanes?
Why don’t you keep catfish that is the only fish I’ve ever eaten not to many places that you can get good white catfish if you get that muddy brown meat it is terrible and will ruin you on eating fish I never eat it in restaurants
We're probably a minority most people like them the same with sharks, we don't keep them either. Maybe we'll try them again. Thanks a lot for Watching our videos
Great job on large crabs and shrimp ta boot...boiled shrimp mmmmm
You're right Paul it doesn't get any better than that.
I cannot believe how cavalier Sam was and throwing back so many.
We caught quite a few big crabs that day and I planned on picking them so Joyce could make something special and we ended up with plenty of meat, even after we ate a few ( those big ones were full ) I figured we could let the small ones shed one more time. Thanks a lot for Watching we appreciate it
This video was unusually offkilter..... throwing perfectly fine crabs because somebody felt "fussy".
I planned on picking the crabs so Joyce could make something special and we had enough large crabs which are faster to pick. We ended up with plenty of meat even though we ate a few ( they were packed ). The small ones were light and didn't have very much meat, no rusty bottom like the big ones so I figured I'd let them shed one more time. Sometimes We let large crabs go if they're light and have very little meat. Thanks for Watching
@@TheOldCoupleOutdoorsThank you for that explanation. Very helpful information.
Why is everybody in the same spot? Is that is where all the shrimp are today? I don’t keep any crabs unless they are 7 inches
Shrimp seem to gather at the same spots every year which are not large. We keep crabs over 5 inches that are heavy. Thanks a lot for Watching
Hey Joyce throw him in and I'll go crabbing with ya,😊
The problem is you might go to jail, she wants to keep everything LOL. Thanks a lot for Watching we appreciate it
Trying to net me! Aww hunny he caught you years ago :) love the videos!!
You're right, I netted her over 50 years ago lol. Thanks again for Watching
Man that looked so good at the end,I gotta try blue crab one day.Berm buying the dungeness
We've also caught Dungeness in Oregon they're both good when they're fresh. Thanks for Watching
I'm good to eat 2 dozen of nice size crabs.
It's according to how much meat is in them. If they're big crabs and full of meat 6 is about all I could handle but if they're poor maybe 12. Thanks again for Watching our videos
I am happy I found this you tube! Do you guys crab in the cold months?
We crab and fish year round in Florida and Mississippi. Glad you found our channel, Thanks for Watching
Those were some good catches. Thanks for posting.
Thanks a lot for Watching
I absolutely enjoy every one of your videos thank you for posting
Thanks a lot for Watching
Great video y'all stay safe I'm trying to plan a trip to Mississippi
Thanks Paul, we love Mississippi
Any idea how far south shrimp and crab get in the St Johns?
The furthest south we've set our crab traps and caught shrimp is Lake George. I've seen blue crabs at Blue Springs Park but I don't know of anyone crabbing in that area. Thanks for Watching
Have not visit you two in a little bit. Glad to see you both are still out there and enjoying life . God bless!
Nice hearing from you Debbie and Thanks for Watching
What a nice haul guys. Looks delicious.
Thanks, we did have a lot of fun that day. Thanks again for Watching
Nice shrimp and nice crabs 🦀 I’m with Joyce don’t throw any crabs 🦀 out lol
Thanks for sharing Sam and Joyce 😘
Alice, I planned on picking them so Joyce could make something special and I like picking the large ones, we ended up with plenty of meat even though we ate a few. I figured we could let the small ones shed one more time lol.
@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors great idea Sam lol
That looks delicious, I wish I could be there to try them!!!
It would be nice having you. Thanks for Watching
Cast netting shrimp is like a fever Can't stop.
I know what you mean, that's how I am. Thanks for Watching our videos
Haha iif Joyce had her way, she would keep them all 😂
You're right, you can keep any size in Florida but when I'm going to pick them I like the big ones. They all look big to Joyce lol.
Sam you threw some good pancakes and got some lovely shrimp. Those crab have got me fired up, my boat's running well, l missed out last summer coz l was ripped off here and motor still wasn't running, went out of town, it sounds so good now. You guys are so entertaining, you always cheer me up, tight lines lovely people 🎣🐟🇺🇲🇦🇺
Thanks Stuart, I'm glad you got your motor problems fixed, I hope you do great this summer and Thanks again for Watching our videos
@TheOldCoupleOutdoors You're very welcome and thanks.
You guys are just awesome and catching crabs and those shrimps were huge!
And yes I agree with Joyce there should be a crabbing tournament why don't you guys host one? You guys would be great at it.
And I still wish you'd open up a crab pizza joint! I would love to see you guys do that and I would be one of your first customers.
Good idea but we probably won't have time to go fishing lol. Thanks again for Watching
@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors What was I thinking? Lol
Do you ever preserve crabs
Freeze them for another day.
We do and they freeze well. Thanks for Watching
Luv you guys, counting the months till we move to Beaufort SC, Sam what would suggest for an inlet river boat?
For crabbing and Shrimping we like our Carolina Skiff, it will carry a lot of weight for its size and it can go into fairly shallow water. The down side is the rough ride in very choppy water but it's still a safe boat. For offshore fishing we like our Sea Hunt great ride but not good for crabbing or cast netting shrimp because of the layout. A lot of commercial fishermen use Carolina Skiffs because they can carry a lot of weight for their size. Thanks for Watching our videos
@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors Thanks for the suggestions, keep on living the dream you two are the best.
😀
You guys make me hungry and I just ate!
We're sorry lol. Thanks a lot for Watching our videos
Q ?? Why to the crabs make bubbles.
When they're breathing out of water they form bubbles to get more oxygen. Thanks for Watching
Since you don’t get many crabs at a time could you get shorter in height traps so you could take more traps on the boat I would be greedy if I was crabbing or shrimping
We get all the crabs we want for the two of us we have a lot of crab cakes and crab meat in our freezer. There is no point in catching more than we can use we enjoy going to different places as long as we catch enough for a couple of dinners. Thanks a lot for Watching
Thanks for the reply I didn’t know how often you went it looks like lots of fun doing it together😊
Sam loves to throw that shrimp net I think he wouldn't mind draining the lake of shrimp 😂🎉.
Shrimping can be addicting lol. Thanks for Watching our videos
@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors I can't wait to go out in my van.
Those were some big crabs that day !
You're right Rob, that's why I threw back all the small ones. Thanks again for Watching
Is the garlic a Philadelphia thing ?
Maybe it's a New Jersey thing, that's where we are from. We just like garlic and I think it's good for old people lol. Thanks a lot for Watching we appreciate it.
You both are the best Love your videos.
Thanks a lot for Watching our videos
Those catfish are what’s referred to as “Sharpies “ and they’re excellent eating at that size. The only downside is the amount of meat and you have to skin them , gut them and remove the head.
We'll have to try them, we always preferred saltwater fish. Thanks a lot for Watching
NOBODY EAT BETTER THAN SAM AND JOYCE
That's true if you like seafood. Thanks for Watching
What state are you doing this in?
Florida, Thanks for Watching our videos
Cat fish is good eating
Just fresh water catfish. Thanks for Watching
Hey I missed seeing you guys

I CAN SMELL THEM IN HAMMOND!
That's quite a ways but I believe it, they did smell good. Thanks for Watching

I love you guys where are the new videos
We put up a new video today at 5:30 PM and every Friday at the same time. Thanks for Watching our videos.
@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors I would not have it any other way! I love crabs and like crabbing but no one ever wants to go with me but I’m going to do it this summer in NC no matter what. That is where I live.
First!
Thanks for your support
Another great video! Thank you for sharing, they always make me hungry. Have a blessed day. PB
Thanks a lot for Watching
Howdy Sam and Joyce. What a great day on the river! Since I’m unable to sit down at the dinner table with you i’ll say the blessing. amen. I know you enjoyed dinner
Thanks Leslie, wish you were here
You don't eat catfish ?😱
We've eaten them in the past but we prefer saltwater fish. Thanks a lot for Watching our videos
@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors 👍
We loved this episode watching you catch shrimp as well as crabs. It looks like so much fun and tasty. I love when Joyce makes up recipes on the spot. Take care
We're glad you enjoyed the video. You're right that is exactly what Joyce does most of the time, then she has to write it down so we can make it again lol. Thanks again for Watching
You had a very good day. I hope every day will be this good. Joyce is making me want some shrimp and crabs. I am so happy that you had a good day. You both compliment each other. Keep on keeping on. God keep you and bless you.
Thanks Priscilla for the nice comments
