I live in NJ, my husband and I would go crabbing every Sunday for many years, but we had boat and would go out into the creeks where we knew where the crabs were in abundance. We would usually come back with a bushel, all males because we wanted the females to reproduce. It was my job to clean the crabs as my husband cleaned the boat and engine so no salt water would sit in it. Anyway, I always cleaned the crabs before cooking them because I don't like any type of guts when I cooked them, and I feel that the seasoning got into the meat more effectively. One of the ways I liked to make as a dish was to take some light olive oil, butter, roasted chopped garlic cayenne pepper, smoked paparika, parsley, salt and pepper, I would sautee the crabs until cooked, then at the end I would add some oregano and a little more butter and stir it around until blended. Also, I would crack the claws before cooking so the flavor would get into the meat. Of course I would do the traditional way of steaming with Old Bay seasoning and some melted butter to dip the meat into, and make some crab tomato sauce to go with pasta. One time we caught the grand daddy of all crabs, it measured 10 inches from point to point and the claws 18 inches wide when spread out, I have pictures, I wish I could post them on here. I almost wanted to throw it back because it managed to survive as long as it did as I felt bad keeping it. My husband is passed now so this video has brought back alot of memories of those fun crabbing days, thanks for this video. 🙂🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀
@@OutsidetheLevees It's easy, just get a very large 14" frying pan , coat it with the oil and other ingredients and cook away. You can put Old Bay on these crabs also. 🙂
Thanks for sharing as well. You are lucky to have had made such great memories. I live in NJ too and just getting starting out crabbing. Hopefully one day I will have a family of my own to share similar memories. Take care.
Takes me back to the 50’s & 60’s growing up on the coast of NC. My mom, brother, and I used to walk down to the ICW and catch crabs. I miss those days but I enjoy watching you enjoy the natural resources around you. Jerad, you do a awesome job with your videos.
I love watching you catch and cook seafood i have learned a lot about Louisiana seasoning crawfish and crab and how long to cook it great channel love seeing your family
Jared , WOW...... another home run It"s so nice for you to share all that information for people that don't know where to crab and the fine eateries like Charlie's. And now you have my mouth watering. Again, so nice of you , THANKS
@@OutsidetheLevees try point aux chein next time. Last time I went caught 120qt in 2-3 hrs went back later and dumped all the smaller catch but it was way more than I could eat and gave away a lot to a few people. We used 2-3 nets like you and a few drop lines with chicken tied on and scooped them out as we pulled it up.
I was at the hook and line this summer, great prices, friendly knowledgeable service, had everything I needed for a good crabbing day. I walked outside heard a loud rumble, sky got dark, then lit up, thought it was a storm darn it day ruined but to my surprise it wasnt that at all when I looked to the south toward the bay it was the Chalmette Refinery Flaring, WTF is that all about. I hope all that crap didnt pollute the waterways and all the crabs I caught.
Great video. I pass by that store everytime I come down to visit my in-laws. I was always curious but never stopped. l'll definitely stop next time. Look to have a great selection.
I just "Google Mapped" it. It's over 400miles from me! Looks like it's worth the trip, but I'm gonna have to plan it out. Til then, keep posting those vids
O.M.G. !!!!! Great video bro👍. The information that you provide is PRICELESS! I have a birthday coming up... was going to Ohio " Lake Erie" to do some Walleye Fishing, but I'm really considering changing my plans and coming down there in your neck of the woods, will let you kno if I decide to come 🤔, YOU ROCK BRO! Keep up the good work and GOD BLESS. YO BOI JOE FROM CHICAGO 💯💯
We used to camp at Cape Hatteress Campground every summer and we’d take a net and a bushel basket and we’d fill that basket up with blue crabs in 30 mins. Blue crabs and old bay. Nothing like Carolina in the summer.
I love blue crab fishing..my favorite pass time..I can spend all day out there..I find they love turkey meat...lol..the funny thing is I can't eat seafood..I do it for the fun...I always release them..kinda defeats the purpose but it brings me joy..one day I caught a puffer fish..that was fun..they also love deer meat..great video
@@OutsidetheLevees That’s cuz it’s new, I came up with that, baw. That’s culture. I bet you remember that next time you look at the bottom of a male crab and see that Chalmette monument and see that superdome on them adult females haha let’s start a new piece of culture, spread it around. I’m a parish baw too
I learned to Crab in VA . A roll of string nails a Dock and a Cooler for Beer and a Cooler for Crab. And a package of chicken necks! A lot of times there would be nails already. A be if you have one We had so much fun 🔥... Jo Jo IN VT 💞💨❄
Man thank you so much for this video I live in chalmette and didn't know that pier was there my wife and I will give a try also that dish at Charlie's FYI B&G Market in chalmette on West Judge Perez always has turkey necks they have a full meat market when my wife and go to Charlie's we'll mention your name thanks for a wonderful video very entertaining.
I would go meet my Uncles and Cousins at Cypermore Point off the Vermillion Bay -they were shrimpers and all the family boats would make the trip from Terrebonne Parish to i think its Vermillion parish-I would help them retail their shrimp-they knew when i was coming and would save all the soft shell crabs they caught inn the ice hole-man those were like gold to me-I would make soft shell crab po-boys and eat till i keeled over😂
Former Owl here i fished night rigs out of bayou Bienvenu, on the Irene Marie. 32' Lafitte Skiff. The Newtons boat. We built a fiberglass replica of the Irene Marie. Christened Irene Marie II. Which launched the Newtons global boat building buis. I wonder if Alicia Marie II is Newtons. Sure miss night rigging. But at the time, we were constantly dodging container ships in the intercoastal canal. When that transom light lines straight up with the bow light, it was pucker time. Les et bon temps roulez' ~rad~
have you tried cheap hot dogs or cheap sausages? that's how we almost got our limit in Oregon. crab or bottom feeders but I figure even they'd like a change of meal once in awhile. The food looks delicious. 🤤
Do you think the crabs running at this spot right now? Might take the ride out there from St.Charles parish thus Saturday . Didn’t have much luck at Point aux chene last weekend.
@@OutsidetheLevees I’ll just give it a shot , appreciate the response , been trying to hit some of those st.bernard parish spots since I started watching you
Is good fishing on the pier to? Im from new orleans, and never caught a fish, or any good crabs in my life. I think I will take a trip down to the pier.
Is it just me, or did anyone else think of poor little Sebastian from the little mermaid when he almost got cooked when he pulled that crab out of the flour??? Lmao
hey now, that's the way we ued to net out in Galvaston bay & ocan bring'em in go back to our cabin on stillts & cook'em in the open area screened porch or right there in th sand some boil'n water there ya go enjoy just like that no seasonin no lemon butter unless we where making a sea food boial so good 🦀🦀
So hard to find stores that carry well-made crab nets like that. Everywhere I go it’s always the cotton netting garbage that get cut by oysters within 10 minutes.
What do you mean you don’t grab crabs? Grab them from by there back legs or side of there shell and they can’t pinch ya lol. But yeah getting pinched sucks bad lol especially by a big blue claw. I’m also from Jersey been catching crabs since I was a young buck. Now I’m doing it with my kids. Came over from DMFD.
I heard recently that there is a new law that there is a requirement for a $5.00 license for crabbing by all non-commercial crabbers that fish from the shore or places like shown in this video.

I grow up riding my 🚲 to hook and line to get perch hook and cork. I have alot of good memories growing up at kid there.
That's a beautiful memory. Thanks for sharing
Been out there quite a few times. Good crabbing...
Yes indeed
I would go meet my Uncles and Cousins at Cypermore Point off the Vermillion Bay -they were shrimpers and all the family boats would make the trip from Terrebonne Parish to i think its Vermillion parish-I would help them retail their shrimp-they knew when i was coming and would save all the soft shell crabs they caught inn the ice hole-man those were like gold to me-I would make soft shell crab po-boys and eat till i keeled over😂

Lol. Sorry bout that
have you tried cheap hot dogs or cheap sausages? that's how we almost got our limit in Oregon. crab or bottom feeders but I figure even they'd like a change of meal once in awhile. The food looks delicious. 🤤
I havent tried it but I bet it works fine
Nice!
Thanks for watching J
Where can I buy the crab net that you use in the video? I live in Sulphur Louisiana. What brand make is it?
Call Hook and Line Sporting Goods in Chalmette, La +1 (504) 277-5615
Awesome video bros. We live almost 2 hrs from the pier what's the best way to keep our crabs fresh and alive until we get home?
You can set them on ice
Are the crabs running yet at del a Croix this year?
No
Where did you get the crab net? Thanks!
They are no longer available sorry
How much did the nets cost
What time of year is the best time to go there?
Any time. ALways something to get into. May is good.
Do you think the crabs running at this spot right now? Might take the ride out there from St.Charles parish thus Saturday . Didn’t have much luck at Point aux chene last weekend.
Honestly I don’t think they are but you never know till you go
@@OutsidetheLevees I’ll just give it a shot , appreciate the response , been trying to hit some of those st.bernard parish spots since I started watching you
Is good fishing on the pier to? Im from new orleans, and never caught a fish, or any good crabs in my life. I think I will take a trip down to the pier.
You can catch a big catfish or drum any day of the week off this pier. Just try to go with good tide movement as I recommended
Do they ship those crab nets ? Need a link to order some.
They are no longer in business I’m working on finding a new place
Is it just me, or did anyone else think of poor little Sebastian from the little mermaid when he almost got cooked when he pulled that crab out of the flour??? Lmao
It’s just you lol. Thanks for watching! Sebastian was the man tho!
💯🙌🏾
First! My man!
What is the best time to crabbing
Anytime but the dead of winter
Hey man let us know first thing I saw ??? Black eyes don't come easy but there often lol 🤣 !! Let us here please appreciate ya
What?
how do you know when to lift the trap ???
Every 5-10 minutes
How much for the nets
Manger de Charlies .Coo Yah c'est ca bon !
Yes indeed!
I'll pass on the Nutria tacos!
hey now, that's the way we ued to net out in Galvaston bay & ocan bring'em in go back to our cabin on stillts & cook'em in the open area screened porch or right there in th sand some boil'n water there ya go enjoy just like that no seasonin no lemon butter unless we where making a sea food boial so good 🦀🦀
Heck yeah!
Mon frère the river is a distributary or TRIBUTARY of another river?
It is a former distributary
What type of net is that ?
Just a basic ring net
New subscriber I live in Philadelphia
Glad to have you!
Cow lips from the butcher shop! And they will last all day!
sarap niyan boss
Thanks buddy
soft shell crabs are awesome
Yes indeed !
Id pop the top on one of those crabs quarter it up and cast out a line. Big drum bonus is always good
Yeah we just keep it simple just crabs when we crabbing
I know I would like that fried crab.
So hard to find stores that carry well-made crab nets like that. Everywhere I go it’s always the cotton netting garbage that get cut by oysters within 10 minutes.
Call Hook and Line in Chalmette. They can ship them to you.
Man you make me realize how awesome my home state is!
We def got it made
So that's fresh water, not the ocean? Thanks.
It’s a mix of both. It’s called brackish
@@OutsidetheLevees , thanks.
I'm from st Bernard born and raised there and we use crab traps to catch blue crab
Heck yeah thanks for watching
What do you mean you don’t grab crabs? Grab them from by there back legs or side of there shell and they can’t pinch ya lol. But yeah getting pinched sucks bad lol especially by a big blue claw. I’m also from Jersey been catching crabs since I was a young buck. Now I’m doing it with my kids. Came over from DMFD.
You can grab them out the net but once they are down in the basket with the others you will get bit trying to grab them by hand.
Killer blue claw bait is menhaden, also known as moss bunker and pogy 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀👌
You got that right. Def a good bait
Big Hungry!
My man!
@@OutsidetheLevees Yes sir
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🦀🎣🇧🇷
Thanks man
🤤🍽️🍻😊
Right?!
If you wanna go crabbin,' you've got to know how to pick 'em up. Handle them right, and you won't get pinched.
Handled them just fine with my grabbers
if your wife or mother gardens you can also toss the fish scraps in as fertilizer
Our dogs would dog it up unfortunately
Never been crab fishing, do you need a permit.
Yes you do. Thanks for watching
Maryland best sweet crabs wold ...
I think most people have a skewed perspective of Maryland crabs.any of the crabs served in Maryland come from Louisiana.
Some do especially in colder months but we have plenty of crabs here in Maryland.
@@OutsidetheLevees that's a fact
I like using trout head or hole sardines
Absolutely
Nothing works better than trout heads
True
I heard recently that there is a new law that there is a requirement for a $5.00 license for crabbing by all non-commercial crabbers that fish from the shore or places like shown in this video.
You should check the rules and regulations before going
Yeah, no one has ever seen a boat lift...lol!
I’m sure there’s folks who haven’t
What's going on , Jared? 😪As you can see, i'm sad, and you know why. On the bright side is it's always next year.
Gonna be a rough year. Hang in there
@@OutsidetheLevees 👍
many crabs
Thank you
Only time its good to say you have crabs.
Lol. True dat
Leave the chicken out in the sun for a bit it needs to be stinky 😁
That’s a great idea
