Going Crabbing Off the Bridge

[@lifesahobby]

What a lovely day thanks for taking us along

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

We had a good time and I always enjoy seeing wildlife when I'm out crabbing. Pretty neat to see the eagles. Have a good weekend.

[@darcyshikingdiaries]

How Fun!! Never been crabbing but I've gone on many fishing trips. THOSE BIRDS!!! 😍😍

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Crabbing can be really fun because it's non-stop action compared to fishing. Lots of times you are tossing back the non-keeper crabs, but sometimes you catch ones that are big enough. We do try fishing, but we are pretty bad at it. We never catch much.

[@FitnessOutdoors]

That looks like awesome fun 💥⭐️😊

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Thank you. We are better at crabbing than we are at fishing!

[@RoadtripNcamping]

Wow, these are blue crabs! It's my favorite. I love it very much.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful video.

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Thank you so much 🤗 We will have a few more of these summer time adventure videos like raking clams and geocaching coming up on our channel.

[@AspaceFor3]

The eagles are beautiful just chilling. Great shot. That was one big snap turtle. Wow 13 crabs in 3 hours thats awesome.

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Seeing the wildlife while out crabbing is always a nice bonus.

[@gracegarden1]

That's a fun day! Great summer vibes. Thanks for sharing! Peace & Prayers.

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

@@gracegarden1 Thanks, we try to do this once or twice a summer. Lots of fun.

[@dannovator7798]

Great presentation on your crabbing adventure! You provide all the important details to educate us on crabbing.

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Thank you. This is one of those fun little activities we do once or twice a summer. Become a tradition for us.

[@AishusCraftyKidsClub]

Hey wow
So nice to see
Have a great weekend 😊

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Thanks, I hope you are having a great weekend.

Going Crabbing Off the Bridge, nice share my friend

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Thank you. We had a really fun day catching crabs

[@TRAVEL.WITH.JAFARI]

Thank you for your very beautiful video❤❤

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

You are so welcome! Thanks

[@wanderingoutyonder]

Wow - that looks like so much fun - minus the chicken necks - lol - the eagles were a bonus! Wow!
The turtle - WOW! That was unexpected!

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Having to deal with the raw chicken necks is a bit gross. I like to wear gloves to bait the traps. Yes, this is always lots of fun and we usually see nice wildlife. We were surprised to see that turtle too. Thanks for watching

[@hikingwithjackieboy]

Looks like a fun day.

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Yes, it's always fun to be outside and fun to be able to eat what we caught.

[@TheWanderingWulfs]

Going crabbing looks fun! Something we've never done. 🦀 The bald eagles were so cool and the heron, too. That turtle in the trap! 😆 Glad he jumped back out.

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Every time we go fishing or crabbing, I always bring my camera. When you are outside for that long you are bound to see some wildlife. I was so glad about the turtle too!

[@NorwayHikesTrails]

Nice crabbing 😊Thank you for sharing 😊

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Thank you! 🤗 We had a really fun day and enjoyed eating the crabs later.

[@bwatcher1000]

My husband and I used to crab all the time when we stayed in Chincoteague. Great fun and definitely worth the work. Fantastic haul. Enjoy those crabs.❤

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

I bet Chincoteague was a great place to catch crabs. Glad to hear you have tried this fun activity too. Thanks for watching.

[@ThinBlueLaneRVLife]

I love crab! I could do so many wonderful recipes with that. Great video my friend and it looks like so much fun. Not to mention delicious. The wildlife was beautiful. I love the eagles. Support to the channel my friend.

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Yes, several years ago when we caught more, we picked the meat for crabcakes. You really can make a lot of wonderful dishes with crab meat. Yes, seeing the Eagles and the Herons was a nice surprise too. Thanks for your support

[@cupcakescorner7684]

Thats a tasty dinner.
A funday to try crabbing. Love it.

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Yes, it was really fun.

[@EventyrsorenDenmark]

That was a lot of fun and you got a lot of them😊😊

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Yes, we ended up having a good day and a bunch of nice keeper crabs. Thanks for commenting.

[@FXWalesAnnaAlf]

Hi guys whoh you were up early 😃 Our kids used to love crabbing but we werent as professional as your set up, I think you said you had 12 traps wow ! Fabulous footage of the small crab that for away and the trapped turtle. Your end result was brilliant, well worth it 🦀😃~ Anna 👍

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

That's great that you used to do this too. It is so much fun for kids. Yes, with all those traps it doesn't leave a lot of time to film video, haha. Yes - this was worth the early wake up for sure!

[@justramblinaround]

Wow your crabbing is exactly like ours. 13 that was great and i bet the quality time was priceless. Great video thoight it was fun to watch and so many great tips! Thats some good quality family time and oh my so yummy!

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Yes, this is an activity we all enjoy doing over the summer season. It's also more fun and saves a bit of money to catch your own. Have a great week!

[@AINwithDrAmi]

I have never gone crabbing. You make it look so so fun. And the set up is great. Thanks for sharing

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

It is quite fun because it keeps you busy. You often pull up little fish or crabs in the traps. Thanks for checking out our video.

[@haihaitraveler]

❤ Such a good experience ❤ 👍 Enjoyed watching ❤ Thanks for sharing ❤

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

@@haihaitraveler Yes, catching crabs is always a fun time. Thanks for checking out our video.

[@nationalparksprincess3216]

That is really cool, Sarah. The bald eagles look so good 😊 ohhh angry crab 😂

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Yes, a very healthy looking pair of bald eagles in this area .

[@JefPersonalVideos]

Lots of crabs thanks for sharing

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

@@JefPersonalVideos Yes, we were happy with the number of keepers we had. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@recreepy]

My sincere compliments-bravo!

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Thanks! Have a good day

[@EpicEarthFound]

I use to take my oldest crabbing when we lived in the northwest. They love chicken and turkey.

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

That's awesome. I find crabbing a bit more exciting than fishing.

[@HappyPlaceCamping]

Never been crabbing. But might be something fun to experience one day. Thanks for sharing the info.

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Yes, if you are on the east coast you should try this sometime. The traps are maybe $4/$5 at walmart. It can even be fun just to get one or two traps and try it. Thanks for your comment.

[@probinsyanongmarino8248]

thanks for sharing this video maam..

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

You are welcome. Thanks for leaving a comment.

[@Faroutamazingadventures]

I never been crabbing but I ought to go! Thanks for sharing 😊😊

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Thanks for watching.

[@rventures1021]

You had some tasty treats to take home.....yum!

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Yes, not a bad haul for June

[@meandplaces]

eagles! 😃😍

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Aren't they amazing?

[@thatplace1]

Great adventure crabbing
Cool to see an eagle too
12 traps wow that is busy
I was on the beach yesterday where I live and saw some crabs
Well done on the catch and good time
Cheers 38

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Yes, seeing the eagles was really neat. The 12 traps keep us very busy. I think you are from the West Coast, so maybe you saw dungeness crabs? I had them when I visited San Francisco and they were delicious.

[@CraigKoppel]

I think you got your money’s worth. I have never done crabbing but it looks like fun.👍10

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

This is a bit of a summer tradition for us and we usually try to crab once or twice each summer. It's pretty fun. Have a good weekend.

[@agesadventures]

That's the best bait for crabs! I use that here as well.
Great catch!
Makes me want to get out there soon and start catching some crab🦀🦀

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

That's great that the chicken necks work the best for you too. We have tried other things and they are able to steal the bait too easily. The chicken necks are so tough they will last all morning.

[@super_yummy]

nice content ,thanks for sharing fully watched with ads

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Thanks so much

[@PATG1]

Great video lots of wild life and a delicious meal to.

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Yes it was! I try not to go anywhere without my camera in case I see wildlife.

[@MichellesPuppyCam]

Great video! Great thumbnail, had me drooling 🤤

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Thank you! We had lots of fun and so good to taste freshly caught crabs.

[@MashaAllahYummyFood]

Thanks for sharing

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

You are welcome!

[@coloradoinmyeyesandtravel4904]

Great video as always! Have a nice day ❤

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Thank you. It was fun to catch some crabs and see those bald eagles.

[@LyndonsAdventures.]

Crab fishing is something I have never done here on the prairies, but it looks like a lot of fun. Except for the snapping turtle.

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Yes, it's an interesting experience. You often pull up small fish and a few summers ago we pulled up an eel.

[@JulianaStation]

Enjoy crabbing, the eating part sounds interesting too.

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Yes, maybe I'll show that in a future video. You pop off the shell and then there are four quarters of meat in the body. Plus meat in the claws and legs. It's a bit of work, but they have a very good taste.

[@AdventureswithBeeGee]

very cool! I've never been crabcatching before, but it looks like fun.

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Yes, it's a fun time. My kids always enjoy catching the crabs.

[@spMariaspPiano]

🦀貴重な映像をありがとうございます。興味深く観せていただきました❣️Thank you for sharing🦀

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

I'm glad you liked our video..thanks for commenting.

[@OutdoorsWithJohnUSA]

Looks like a good deal especially if you enjoy catching the crabs!

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Yes, catching them is a really fun process. Thanks for watching.

[@musicnature007]

Wow ขอให้สนุกกับการจับปู 👍👍👍

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Thank you. We did pretty well and had a lot of keeper crabs.

[@rupak-travelmoments]

It's really a very interesting coverage 👍

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Thanks, it's a little different from our usual hikes but I thought people might enjoy seeing this. Glad you liked it.

[@RationalTalk]

Wow, that is a whole different endeavor than what I am familiar with. I never ate crabs much, other than Alaskan King Crab at a restaurant, so it is all foreign to me. The bald eagles were magnifient, and I am sure you got a great meal out of your endeavors. Thanks for sharing this interesting video! (Nice Rocky Mountain National Park shirt, they are now requiring reservations to go there. Crazy world.)

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

If you like Alaskan King crabs, these would be a disappointment. The meat in these is so tasty, but not nearly as much as a king crab. Yes, it was awesome to see the Bald Eagles. I always take a camera when we go fishing or do stuff like this because you do see wildlife. Yes - when we went to Rocky Mountain - maybe 3/4 years ago we actually needed the timed entry pass. It was still very crowded even with that in place and we worked around it by starting our hikes extra early in the morning. Thanks for watching!

[@KimHong-iq2ll]

Hello friend good videos friends great 👍👍👍💕💞💞

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Thank you very much!

[@DaveCollierCamping]

Enjoy your day - I used to do that in the Rappahanock River in Va long ago

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

That's awesome. I think this is an activity that is pretty unique to this area. My kids think it's so much fun. We try fishing but never seem to do very well. At least with crabbing, we end up catching some keepers.

[@DaveCollierCamping]

@@hikingoutdoorfamily have a great weekend

[@olddudeonthetrail72]

Wow! Very cool. I didn't know people did this. I'm too far inland, I guess.

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

We usually take a couple of trips to the Delaware coast in the summer and that is where we do this activity. Thanks for watching.

[@backroadjournals]

Excellent ROI 👍. And now on to the garlic butter 🙂. What is a Snapping Turtle doing in the ocean? We thought they would only be in freshwater.
Thank You for sharing and all the best,
Michelle and Holger 🙏

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Yes, it was well worth the time and effort. We crab off a bridge where a creek meets the bay, so it is brackish type water. I didn't expect to see the snapping turtle there either, but it looked big and healthy! Thanks for watching.

[@Denverdaytrippers]

I think the Eagles were waiting for you to drop them a snack :)

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Yes, you are probably right. Standing guard hoping to get some scraps.

[@HikingLikeItsMyJob]

Looks great!

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Thank you, we had a good catch.

[@kyleandnicole]

Very interesting video!

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Thanks, this is something we try to do once or twice a summer.

[@JamieHarding5]

That was brilliant!
You got loads.
Would to see another time the cracked meat from them.
So fresh I imagine it was delicious.
Great little video👏👏👋

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Thank you. Good idea to show you the process of opening the cooked crabs and getting the meat. This is one of those activities we try to do once or twice a summer and it's always fun.

[@ALPUKATINTRODUKSI]

Great video ❤ 4:02

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Glad you liked it! Thanks

[@empirekorea]

영상 잘보고 갑니다 응원드립니다
계속 좋은 영상 기대할게요!

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Thank you so much!

[@GenerationsFound]

Love the shirt. LOL. Next time you are in Colorado we must meet up.

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Yes, I'd love to go back to Colorado.

[@lowermichiganadventures]

3:30 snapping turtle that’s pretty cool. I seen a big one crossing the road by our lake just the other day and I thought to myself oh my goodness I hope it doesn’t get hit because they move so slow but this one was so big wait 30 pounds.

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

I hope the one you saw made it across safely. They can really bite so not that type of turtle you want to pick up and move. It's crazy how big they can get.

[@lowermichiganadventures]

2:01 it looks like it would be fun. I enjoy fishing and the great outdoors that’s something. I’ve never tried, but I don’t think we’re in the right location.

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Catching blue crabs is pretty popular in the Delaware, Maryland, Virginia area in the coastal regions.

[@HikerDudeDad]

Inspiring! I'm sure we'll go in August again and I cant put up another goose-egg...

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Maybe you'll have better luck this year. We do well using the chicken necks.

[@thepawanderer]

i used to do a lot of crabbing in Florida in the gulf of Mexico

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

That's awesome. I bet you caught some nice crabs there.

[@thepawanderer]

@@hikingoutdoorfamily sure did

[@vedrana0127]

An interesting method, but apparently successful 🦀

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Yes, for people that have boats they often use a large box trap that they would leave in the water over a tide change. We don't have a boat, just kayaks so these compact ring traps off a bridge work well for us.

[@lowermichiganadventures]

3:55 they look like they’re gonna be delicious

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

They were really good. Blue crabs are a bit of work to take apart and eat, but they are delicious.

[@RaymondoLeeTravel]

Nice early start!! Wow very cool bird spots! Wow that turtle was huge!

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Yes, it's been so hot lately getting up early is the only way to beat the heat.

[@RaymondoLeeTravel]

@@hikingoutdoorfamily wish we had some of your heat. Cold here in the UK and wet lol

[@flynorthproductions]

That was an interesting diversion from your usual videos! I enjoyed learning about crab fishing, thanks for sharing. 👍

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

Glad you enjoyed it. I'll have a few more of these unique summer activities coming up in some future videos. We also dug for clams recently and that was fun! Thanks for watching.
