MUDBUGGIN 2019. My best 2 day catch ever. Trapping Crayfish/Crawfish.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- The first time trapping Crayfish in Minnesota this year was a success. I had my best 2 day 4 trap catch ever. My Cajun Fiance has not enjoyed a Crawfish boil since we left Louisiana. I was really hoping I would trap enough to help out that craving. I did well. The boil video will be on the Northern Seclusion channel. I hope you enjoy the first 2019 Mudbuggin Minnesota video. More to come.
Hint: cover cages with dark cloth, either top or all the way around. A pro crayfish catcher left cameras underwater to wonder why he didn't get much, saw them all around his traps but wouldn't go in because they felt unsafe. Got the idea to cover traps with dark cloth, then his catch tripled. The crayfish felt safe like they are going under rocks.
It was your textbook trap tosses that made the difference joe. You must have been practicing in the offseason
Nice rainbow at the beginning of the video.
It warms my heart that you call them “crawfish.”
Loved that rainbow at the beginning. Thought maybe there would be a full pot of crawdads at the end of it, LOL
Glad someone else saw it as well!!
I ate crawfish for the 1st time last year when my son and I did Fly fishing a Boy Scout Summer camp. And I couldn't believe how good they tasted. Your making my mouth water.
They are awesome.
The rain🌈 is looking awesome. So are the mudbugs.
That's a blessing from God I'd say, living off the land and water the way our God intended...
I am always stopped dead in my tracks when you post something. I had to literally force myself to GET UP and put laundry in, first. RESUMING: This went so fast. Nooooo, Joe, I hated to see it end. Your videos are just so satisfying>>>>watching you do everyday stuff. See you at the boil. thanks for the upload.
I bet that someday Xander will really enjoy helping Grandpa do this ( and vice versa )
Very Awesome I'm so hungry for bugs now yummy yummy and wow they are large great adventure thumbs up my friends
Hey there, thank you for the crayfis video. It was very entertaining. I had to watch out of my left eye. On the 2nd July, I had a catract op on the right eye. Have to use a sheild for a few days more.Looing forward to see you enjoying your meal tomorrow. Annie Low Malaysia. Sad news, my friend who had a crayfish farm, had a stroke and he had to give up his award winning and thriving biz.He worked very hard giving lessons to students and suppying fries to all who were interested God bless him
Haven’t watched your videos in months maybe even years, good to see you’re still doing good and mud buggin
Wow Joe, nice haul. Hope your next video shows how to cook and eat these little buggers. I never have tried them.
Its posted on his other channel
Going to need a bigger bucket Joe, wonderful.
Mudbugs with breakfast !! Great way to start the week !!!
You hit the jackpot this time! Past couple times been poor catching. 😁👌
Even looking at the live ones made me hungry!!! Awesome!!
I love the mud bug video's Joe, thank you for posting.
Greatest Crayfish episode yet Joe!
Wow! You really dialed in.
Dang. That’s awesome. I look forward to the mudbuggin videos every year. Thanks for sharing. Take care, see ya :)
This past week was great. I went from 150 in 5 traps to just about 300. I figured it was the temperatures rising, but I'm not totally sure.
Joe: We add the potatoes at the beginning. We just got done doing a boil and added carrots with the potatoes and have now added mushrooms to the mix. My mom is from Jennings, LA. so I had fond memories of the Cajun fish boils. (she was Cajun). Really like your videos. Greetings from the Arrowhead.
Joe, I thought about you this week. I was watching a program on PBS about the anniversary of going to the Moon. This program showed the early days when they were sending men to the edge of Space in balloons. The place they launched the balloons was two hours North of Minneapolis. Which sounded like pretty close to y'all s farm house. So, I thought it was cool as much as you like Star Trek, the real Space race started practically in your own back yard.
I tried SOOOOO hard to watch that show on PBS but the channel kept pixeling out and freezing (I just have an antenna on top of the house roof, no cable or dish). I wanted to watch that show. I instead watched a show on one of the other PBS stations on a man named "Bobby Aro". I remember hearing him as an announcer on the radio station WEVE when we would go up to the folks log cabin years ago. It was still very interesting to watch but I waited all week for the space show. Two hours north of the cities puts you pretty close to the farmhouse area for sure.
Glad you caught "a plenty" thanks for sharing!
I love your videos Joe ! Nature's beauty at it's best.
Oh man! I’ve been wanting to request crawdad trappin video!
But, I didn’t wanna be bossy!
Surprised how much crawfish you got!
Great results hard work for really good eats!
I have been waiting patiently all weekend for a vid to pop up! Lol, looks like ur gonna have a feast...
Joe why not keep in container with fresh water and cover the lid. Normally these sort of fresh alive shellfish.. they can last few days in the water. In fact soak in a fresh water help to purge the muddy taste ... In far east they normally let the river fishes etc in a fresh clean water.. for few days to remove earthy taste.
Thanks
They die if you keep them in water for any period of time unless you have an aerator and a big tank. I had to transport these up to the farmhouse and I needed them put to sleep. When you order live crawfish online to be delivered, they basically do just what you saw me do for transporting. Watch the follow up video I am uploading now on the Northern Seclusion channel. You will see that they made it very well. I think I only had 2 dead ones.
Wow! Great haul on the mud bugs Joe.
you should let us watch dumping the crayfish in the bucket more.... its so soothing... and relaxing.. i dont know why...
Congratulations..Always great crawfishing videos!!!!
I get a special kind of excited when you go mudbuggin. Glad to see youre back at it!
Great catch Joe! Melissa will be happy! Would make some good Po Boy sandwiches! I had the best ones at K-Pauls Louisiana Kitchen! Best time in New Orleans!
Oh that makes my mouth water
Thanks! I've seen them up at the crick and wondered how to catch 'em.
Really enjoy your videos Joe. I live in north Arkansas now, my wife is a Cajun from Jeanerette, La. Your boil looks like ours except I don't see any onions.
Wow some of those things were huge. Looks like about 20 to 30 lb of crawfish! Way to go. Hope you're going to share.
Why wouldn't he/they?
Tastes BETTER than chicken!! Thanks for the video!
What a catch 😉👍 never seen anything like it 🦞🦞🦞🦞
Watching from Louisiana. Awesome job!
Great day catching mud bugs!! Looks like great eating!
never have set a crawdad trap, but had a few meals of them. Always seemed like structure was the key. Find a place with a lot of rocks or concrete in the water. They'll be hiding, waiting for some liver.
Kids have had a blast catching them! Can fill a plastic shopping bag with as much as you want to carry in it, fairly fast.
Nice haul but looks creepy as hell in the bucket 😃
What a haul!! Wish I could figure out how to catch the ones that keep drilling holes all over my property.
piece of bacon on a string works great.
@@davidharris6581 Hmm, I'll have to figure out which is more important. Catching the crayfish or eating the bacon myself. That might be a tough call! 😜
Nice Catch on the Crawfish.
Boy do you know how to spoil a Cajun girl !!!! Can’t miss with Dat Catch 👍❤️
Great video! Always look forward to your videos!
enjoyed it , , , looks like you got enough to feed the whole village lol lol : - )
Maybe I've just watched WAY to many episodes of *"Swamp People"*, but I found myself cringing each trip into and out of the river bank...and reaching into the water to retrieve your traps. LOL
Joe, if you added a Bon Jovi track, you could call this "Muddiest Catch"? LOL
Where I come from in Western Australia they are called gilgies(jill-gees, with a hard ‘g’ as in goose) or koonaks(koo-naks) and our larger freshwater crustaceans, which are like a freshwater crayfish/lobster are called marron.(ma-ron, the ‘a’ sound as in apple.) I reckon they’d be comparable to your mudbugs for size and probably taste.
Off
You did better in minn. than Down south....You guys are gonna have a good boil....Better invite friends to help you eat all them....🦞🦞
Wow, what a great haul! Thanks for sharing
Great catch
good haul man do us proud at the boil
Nice, if you were out there yesterday or today you'll be catching heat stroke, lol
Much more satisfying when you catch, and cook your own...
Awesome job Man!!..
Those mud bugs make good fishing bait also.We use them to catch big small mouth here in Ky.
Using them on any other lake or river besides the one I caught them in is illegal here in Minnesota. They are evasive.
Ive been waiting anxiously for this video too !! MUDBUGGIN !!
Well done m8 have a great feed enjoy🙂
Looks that is the best load u have got weather in north or south dinner time
Outstanding Joe, You'll have a feast for sure. Best Regards.
All I can say is yum. 😎🇺🇸
You should make a cage you can sink at a hidden spot at the river ro keep em until you are ready for them. You dont even need a line that might give the position away, just use a grapple hook to get it back. Or, attach sinking rope and tie it just under water.
Can't wait!! Great catch, I'll head on over to other channel and watch the cooking.
It's been asked - but can you tell us what Melissa thinks of the northern ones vs those down south??
They taste the same as long as I get the boil seasoning correct and this time I did. She says there is no difference.
Know that looks like fun
Looking good Joe! Can't wait to see how big a meal this catch makes......
Joe do you purge them for a day or two to clean them out??
Oh is that what it is called. I saw many years ago some old timer taking about soaking/purging in milk for a spell. He said it made them even better for eating.
@@pattiwhite9575 fresh water first day...fresh water with salt the second. They are called mud bugs for a reason 😂
great day Joe!
Thanks for the video man! Do you notice a taste difference between the crayfish here and in Louisiana? I've been wanting to try mudbuggin up north at my place. Also can you get the traps locally or just order them online? Can't wait for the boil video!
There is no difference, they taste the same.
Traps u can make them yourself . Buy quarter inch metal netting
that rainbow to the right of the screen at 0:39!
I almost put a arrow pointing to it but did not want to ruin the view.
The rainbow is trying to get into your video 0:40 on the right
You sir have it made.
That was alot of bugs Joe!!!! Kinda jelly right now, lol. Tyfs God bless you
Is this on the Rum? 😶 Have you ever gone after any of the Northern Watershed bugs? It would be cool to do a side-by-side taste test. Also, maybe, take Melissa Smelting, now that they’ve got a season again. 👍🏻❤️
This is Lucky year for you Joe
Watched another video where they keep purging their Crayfish til the water is clear making sure the Crayfish are all "pooped out", plus they don't salt.
LSU studied it and you are correct. Purge with clean water and no salt. Salt just kills them.
Great catch!!!! Good eat's..
Great video!
What are you using for bait? I'm down by Shakopee, MN and have not had great luck catching'em.
Chicken liver works well. Deer liver also. If you can catch a fish in the same body of water (so you are legal) you are trapping and you kill it and put it in the trap your results (if the Crayfish are there) will be amazing.... If not, there are not many Mudbugs in that body of water.
Awesome video joe gotta love them crawdads
I think that you must have accidentally placed the traps at the end of the rainbow Joe ;)
First! Congrats Joe. Love your vids, keep up the great work.
Great haul.
WOW, FRESH WATER CRAYFISH, NEVER HAD THOSE, whats the name of them? we don't have them like that here in Canada? Thanks ,Bob
These are "Rusty Crayfish"
JoeandZachSurvival aaahhhh okay those are the ones threading the Great Lakes, 👍 thank you 🇨🇦
I love mudbuggin!
Just curious Joe, is there a difference in taste of crawfish between Minnesota and Louisiana. I’ve never had them, always wanted to try, but have a shell fish allergy. Get violently ill. But might be worth it. 😂 I used to luv shrimp before my allergy started. Ever since the doctors rearranged my guts, I haven’t been able to eat she’ll fish. 🤨🤔😡
There is a little bit of a difference. The "meat" tastes the same but the southern fatty part is yellow and sweeter than the northern fatty part which is green.
Been back to Louisiana lately? Me and a friend have been cleaning the litter in the area you use to crawfish south of Sorrento and it looks much better now. You can see my photos shot there at Naturally Louisiana on FB. The Ascension Parish album was shot there.
I was down there for 5 weeks, I just got back to Minnesota. Melissa is down there right now. I post those videos on the "Northern Seclusion" channel. I did drive into Conway, I did not have time for fishing. That road going in there is horrible now. Maybe next time down I can get in there and see what I can catch. I just looked at those pictures. Very nice.
@@JoeandZachSurvival I have been hammering the LDWF to fix the road!! After 3 months of bitching they finally got the funding. So the road should be getting fixed soon. Glad you like the photos. When you get back down here shoot me a message I'd like to meet ya!
Nice haul man. Yum 😋
Do you guys purge them for a couple days? It makes a world of difference in the taste...much cleaner taste.
Awesome!!! 👍👍👍😎
Enjoy that catch !!!!!
Well if ya figure $25 $4 you can add it up and dats what you got for cooked crawfish here
Looks good
wow how lucky I love crwdadys
That tall grass give me the willies.. ticks. Yikes. With all the deer we have even a small amount of tall grass is to be avoided here..
I keep my lawn well mowed and “whacked” we still see them crawling
I have yet to find one on me this year.
You are lucky.
Raymond Mills get some chickens to roam youre yard.
What a haul! I wonder if those flooding rains help with the count taken. When you go back take your fishing pole. I bet there a good fish running in that fast current. Have you or Melissa ever heard about soaking craws and shrimp in milk. That it cleans out the digestive track and they taste better? Please let me know you info on that subject.
I have never heard of that, I will have to look it up.
Great video mr joe, I can only imagine how many comments you're gonna get about animal cruelty and other nonsense. Not cruelty if they're delicious, at least that's my take. Cheers
Yum Yum Yum Let's enjoy !
Nice place...😊
