    Yum I can’t wait to move back east, once my wife retires next year. I miss blue claw season, used to go hand lining with chicken necks in Toms River N.J. every year and catch a couple of garbage cans full, then have a blue claw party the same evening good times. 😁

    • @TheOldCoupleOutdoors
      @TheOldCoupleOutdoors  Год назад

      Hand lining is probably the most fun catching them. We're from N.J. the Atlantic City area, we used to catch a lot of blue crabs but I'm sure by now they must have changed the limit like they did with all the fish. Thanks a lot for Watching

  • @TheDadFaxs
    @TheDadFaxs Год назад

    Next time you cook try this. put the salt garlic and old bay in before you put the crabs in. And bring it up to a boil. The crab meat will take up more of that flavor. Just a thought you do you. You can also put some onion and lime / limon in too.

Joyce doesn't know how to operate or trailer a boat she would have nothing to do out on the water except watch me and to her that would not be any fun. I take care of anything that has to do with our 2 boats operating, repairs cleaning etc. Also do the hours of editing and answering all the comments. It doesn't take long to set and pull 7 crab traps. I just want to keep her happy, it's worked for 56 years.

      We use chicken, fish carcasses and shrimp heads, whatever we can get we found they all work about the same. Thanks for Watching

      We release the small ones and any with eggs. There are spots where ,90 percent of the crabs you catch are females and it's full of commercial crabbers traps so we keep the few we catch, it's legal in Florida to keep females. We catch mostly males because we crab a lot in the St Johns River and most of the crabs there are males.
