Don't you just love Hickory Mound? It is so beautiful. Sometimes I just drive down there for the nice scenery. It's a great place for star gazing, too. We use to go there at night & catch shrimp with a net, and head light. You touched on a pet peeve of mine. I can't believe how people can throw their garbage on the ground. Nature is too beautiful to be disrespected like that. God bless.
This is the first time I’ve seen this channel, at first I thought the dude was some kind of tough guy, but by the end he is really likable and seems like a genuinely nice guy, really enjoyed it 💯👍
Seeing you two catching crabs brought memories: we were married exactly 33 years ago and spent our honey week fishing, barely speaking to each other- Now I have one more channel to nag about fresh veggies, LOL🤣
I grew up on Chesapeake bay. So glad to see you using old bay & vinegar to cook them crabs. Oh the memories of dip netting, running trout lines for 'em, not to mention the big ol pots!! Glad to see ya picking the bodies, people here in NC just seem to crack the claws, eat that and leave the bodies 😱😭
Same here. I grew up on the Bay too. Spent many a hot summer day with friends netting, dragging and potting crabs. We'd start in the morning and go all day. Get home in the late afternoon with a nice haul and cook them up. Blue crabs and beer...it just doesn't get any better! Those were the days...
thats how we did growing up in virginia. mom would put a boil on the dock, wed fill the pot full of crabs. then just sit down and get down right there on the water. Good times.
Our family has been hand-lining for generations. It’s great! We steam them in the same pot setup. 3 cans of beer 3 cups of vinegar 1 cup of old bay Throw in a half-bushel of (whole) crabs and layer another cup of old bay on top with another splash of vinegar. Let the crabs steam for 10 minutes until the ones on top are nice and red. All those leftover guts and shells make amazing compost for the garden.
We are still talking about it, I'm ready for another one. Honestly the corn is what I couldn't get over, it was the best sweet corn I've ever had coming out of that boil.
Lol... you two made an impressive dent in that platter during the time lapse. I remember my mom and grandma in a camper, trying to recatch all the blue crabs that escaped the bucket before steaming. They were standing on the furniture to avoid revenge.
I must say that’s a lot of work for dinner. But you guys look like you are really enjoying your efforts. Thanks for a super video. I love Florida and your knowledge is very informative. 👍 🦀
Great video thanks! I had to comment because my name is Kelley too and I never see people spell it like mine! It was my mother's maiden name so we might be distant relatives! Keep up the great content great footage and great vibes 👍
I find crabbing from a dock is easier. and we used chicken necks, when in MD i could go to a butcher and they had them cheep. i have not been crabbing in ages.
Here in Calif. we use the Crab Snare, A bait box with 6 loops or snares attached. A lot of fun and if legal something you guys may want to try in Florida. Just pull up crab snaring in Calif. There are even videos on how to make the snares.
@@TKOutdoors I thought it was great. It brought back my youth where Elmore Fudd was hunting Bugs Bunny. SSSSHHH be vary vary quiet I’m hunting wabbits. 😂
really cool video it has been a while since i hav done handling all from the boat now. but wanted to share something with u i heard u say if the died in the cooler no good. so i crab just bout every week here in maryland and i steam them bout 1 to 2 days after i catch them i cover the bottom of cooler with ice then crabs then pack ice on top (i do drain the water ever 6 hours or so) then i steam them and there is no way of telling which ones are dead or alive and for the 12 years that i hav been doing that i hav never had a bad crab. my golden rule is as long as they are alive when u put them on ice you are good. im not telling you how u should do it just wanted to share what I do.
Man that was some nice crabs catching you 2 was doing. I was raised up on crabs. My dad and his cousin had a crab Club and every end of the month they were partying with crabs. I have a real good buddy of mine who lives about hundred miles from me that has a Riverfront house and said that I can come kayak that anytime. That river is loaded with crabs. I have to try this out man it looks fun. The dinner you Cook look very delicious. You definitely showed us how is done in flip-flops. " LOL "👍👍 awesome that you and Tiffany was able to get out for the day. you take it easy man.
One of my favorite places to crab. Weekends are packed. Weekdays there are maybe 1 or 2 people there. I want to get the kayak down there and go out in the channels. Be mindful of gators down there. Had one take our line once.
@@TKOutdoors Just did a solo trip down on 2-26. Tons and tons of little ones. About 7 keepers. I don't keep females. I go to the beginning area where the signs are. Crab just to the left of the dock area. Don't crab off the dock, that's all oyster beds.
Hello! I’m from Oklahoma, when I was 12, I had family down n Louisiana and went to visit, they took us crabbing off a bridge, I want to learn, if u don’t have a video already, could u possibly due one n the future of u doing a close up when u pop the shell off and removing the inedible parts,? I’d appreciate it! Enjoyed watching y’all catch and cook crabs! Thank u
You obviously didn't pay attention that I was walking ALL directions from the truck picking up crabs. I'm not about to lug a cooler up and down the road.
You need to replace the green netting with some chicken wire. Just run the chicken wire on the heavy wire and use needle nose pliers close the ends up. Makes it really easy to dump the crab out.
I noticed that many people in the comment section have asked where this fishing location is, but they haven’t received a response from you. Is that because you’re afraid that too many people will start showing up there? 🤔 If not, then where EXACTLY is the spot where you filmed the crabbing activity? That looked like a beautiful place to drive and fish.
To be honest it's already crazy busy down there. We don't even go on the weekends anymore, you can't find a spot. It's getting busy during the week as well.
Man, my brother and I use to handline crabs growing up in Virginia Beach. We'd also go to them empty piers on the naval base and just throw down lines with chicken and fill up our bucket in under an hour. Those were the days and I miss those days. BTW, where is this location at? Its beautiful
2 thing's for ya 1 instead of using a nylon net take it off and replace it with chicken wire.#2 get yourself a Thermocell you can get them at any Walmart and they work great for every bug so you can enjoy the outdoors with out getting bitten by skeeter and flys.
For sure, the most popular spot in all of Florida to harvest them is about 45 minutes from me. To be honest, the ramps get so packed during scallop season I tend to avoid going.
Stumbled onto this video. Major respect for caring about our environment! I've never crabbed but now I want too.
This world is beautiful. Those roads you were driving on were awesome. So beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you for watching
Thanks for keeping the land clean ! You both are so fun to watch
Thank you for watching
Glad to see I’m not the only one that picks up other peoples trash. Good job man 👍🏻

I will call you tomorrow morning thanks hun thanks for way.
Now thats old school crabbing right there👍. I remember those days quite well

Naa, I'm 100 percent genuine if I may say so and avoid all the drama tough guy crap.

We just went again, video out soon!
You're a GREAT narrator. I really enjoyed the presentation.
Thank you for watching
Hi, Andrew and Tiffany! You have taught us so many ways to have fun in Florida. Excellent video!
Yes, a great way to spend the day!
Florida coast has some of the best free hand crabbing in the country.
Thank you for the video. I would like to do this someday. Also thank you for picking up trash, even though it wasn't yours. Great!
Crabbed in the Chesapeake in the 70's. The grocery store had chicken necks for bait. I would want to eat those drumsticks. Thanks for the video. Enjoy
I just recently started watching this channel..your an awesome family thanks for taking us along
Thank you for watching!
Just watched your new crabbing video and came here to see finished food...now I'm extremely hungry for crab.....LOL
That boil is so delicious!
Haven't been to the lighthouse since I moved to Pensacola in 2015. Brings back memories. Love the channel btw.
Thank you for watching
That's a great day. We used to love doing this with our Dad when we were kids. Thanks for sharing. Bet it was tasty.
Very tasty! Thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching
Now your talking my language, we cook our crabs whole in Maryland with Old Bay. My wife prefers soft crabs over hard shell though. Love the video. 👍
Does she flour and fry them in butter? I so miss crabbing on the bay!
@@terrihill6249 Yes seasoned flower and fried in a skillet with butter, delicious
That sounds excellent!

PS: Tiffany….you’re cute. You remind me of my wife. She’s be right down there with you in a pony tail with a beer in her hand catching crabs.
Thanks for the 60 mile an hour scenery
Looks great! My friend hung a black bucket up and coated it with something sticky and has been catching hundreds of yellow flies on it
Yes we have friends doing that too, I need to try it!
That looks like a great way to spend a Sunday! Wish we had that up here in the northern midwest
It's always a great time enjoying the outdoors.
We had a Low Country Boil tonight but we used shrimp and oh boy was it good. Best eating in town. Looked yummy!
We are still talking about it, I'm ready for another one. Honestly the corn is what I couldn't get over, it was the best sweet corn I've ever had coming out of that boil.

Doing our best to enjoy it!
Great video! Glad to see y’all got a break and got to have some fun.

Hello Andrew and Tiffany love what you are doing catching those blue crabs. I have never done that before looks like so much FUN.....
Very fun!

I find crabbing from a dock is easier. and we used chicken necks, when in MD i could go to a butcher and they had them cheep. i have not been crabbing in ages.
One of my favorite things to do here in Louisiana. Our alligators love chicken. Makes crabbing exciting.
Same here in some spots! We have a lot of alligators

Lol, it's the most focused I ever see her!

Love your technique. Enjoy.

Awesome cringed on the shell removal 😊
Shell???
New subscriber here, awesome content guys 👍👍👍👍
Welcome aboard!
I use chicken drumsticks as bait too. Can't wait to go crabbing!!
Looks like good living! Great you guys got some! Enjoyed it!

Nice video...appreciate the content
Thank you for watching
Love a boil!! This makes me want to do one this weekend if these afternoon storms let up… although we need them.
Understand that! You can always boil in the carport or porch.
We use wire nets in the Chesapeake Bay when catching blue crabs... It puts us higher on the evolutionary track. 🤫
That looks like a lot of fun.
It is!
Looks like a nice place to do some camping...is there a website where I can find info on this place?
Awesome video guys hey have y'all ever had soft shell turtles man there good
Never have, but we have them around here. I've heard about people eating them.
@@TKOutdoors they are really good tho fry them up in nuggets and oh man happy happy 😁
I never understood why people cook 'em whole, full of guts, shht, and everything else. Clean 'em first 👍🏻
Great job guys!
Y'all making me hungry 😂
Love the video where are you exactly at

@@TKOutdoors LOL yes we do.
You done got me ready to go crabbin 👍🏽
Great video! Do you need a license to catch crab with a hand line ? Any good spots that you know near Miami?
I don't fish that area, it's my understanding you don't need a license to do this. I'd check the state FWC regulations to make sure.
Great video Andrew
Thank you
Hey man, I'm Terry and Nicole's nephew! He just told me about y'all so I thought I'd check y'all out!
Thank you for stopping by and checking us out
That looks kind of fun. I absolutely hate crab to eat but it still looks like fun. Lol
Dang, it's soooo good and fun!
You are fortunate people! Yum.
Hi Andrew and Tiffany,
Can you tell me the location of the Crabs?
Thanks,
Bill & Una
First time here enjoyed the content 👍aloha 🤙

Looks like a lot of fun
It was a great time! Thanks for watching
Nice vid.... wouldn't it be easier to just to keep the cooler where you're crabbing though?
Not really, we walk around a lot and their is two of us.
where do you go crabbing? trying to find places to go around Tampa.
This is in NW Florida near Tallahassee

Where is this place? Please share .I would like to take my grandma here.
New sub here, love the crabbing vids!!!!
Where did y'all get your nets? I can't find a good crab net anywhere.
These aren't great, need to find metal ones. We got these at a local tackle shop.
@@TKOutdoors found some at Rocky's. Gonna give them a try!
Awesome! Love Rockys

Nice. I gotta go to Hickory Mound
Look into Everglades Seasoning. It's the appropriate stuff for a Florida Man.
Oh I've been using it for 15+ years.
@@TKOutdoors Then whatchu still using that Yankeed trash for?
Where are you guys located? Love the road you travel down to get back to wherever you live.
North Central Florida
I'm coming in June 😅 like to do this....are they still active around then?
Yes the hotter the weather the better.
Did you catch the crabs at a place known as Hickory Mound in Taylor county FL
Where were you crabbing at? Looks like the east coast.
Panhandle of Florida.
Glad you pick up the garbage, wish you didn’t have to. I do the same thing when I go hiking in Glacier Park up here in MT, Irks me to no end!!
Ohh I want to visit your part of the country one day. Looks beautiful up there
@@TKOutdoors It is amazing up here 3 months out of the year 😂
Right!
Loved video
Thank you for watching
Where in Florida is this? I'm in Tampa.
Where is this? I need a good spot in the Tampa/Clearwater area.
This is NW Florida, about 4 hours from Tampa.
Just out of curiosity , is that cooler mounted to your truck or do you just need the exercise ?
You obviously didn't pay attention that I was walking ALL directions from the truck picking up crabs. I'm not about to lug a cooler up and down the road.
Good video enjoyed it thx for sharing Be safe God Bless
Thank you! God bless
Best place to find those nets?
Any local bait and tackle store
I grew up blue crabbing in Florida with my mom. She makes some good crab cakes.
Awesome!
You need to replace the green netting with some chicken wire. Just run the chicken wire on the heavy wire and use needle nose pliers close the ends up. Makes it really easy to dump the crab out.
What kind of spinning combo were you using
Penn combo
My grandma taught me how to get the crabs just like that. We used chicken necks
Fun times!

Yes it's a long rough road. We are up near Tallahassee
@@TKOutdoors very cool I'm from southwest Georgia
@@TKOutdoors I'm in Tallahassee. What's the name of the spot and when is the season for crabbing?
Nice seeing you both with a day off and relaxing while crabbing. Is that location very far from your property> the drive looks really nice.
It's about a 45 minute drive, not bad at all.
Scallop season is in. Have you ever harvested any? Those are tasty little critters. Love the channel.
For sure, the most popular spot in all of Florida to harvest them is about 45 minutes from me. To be honest, the ramps get so packed during scallop season I tend to avoid going.
Steinhatchee?
Keaton/Steinhatchee yes
Went to Hickory Mounds yesterday. Caught a dozen. Cooking them up today. Fun and easy and very rewarding.
Awesome, always a great time!
