was shocked when i saw how many subs you had, 100% should be up there with the top catch and cook channels. quality content and great banter, awesome vid mate
Great video Sammy, the crabs are definitely on the run, especially here in Perth, its good to have such a great channel that consistently produces great videos. Its great seeing you getting bigger and bigger you deserve top of the platform!
Cheers mate! Really appreciate that! It's starting to gain some momentum now, hopefully it continues! Im hoping to do some fishing over Perth way next year actually!
I was crabbing the top end of Jacob's Well week after new year's,,, sat on my pots all day 100metres off while getting a feed of bream and flathead, caught 1 muddy and 1 sandy,, I only saw one pro marked boat all day about 5 or 600metres off working pots ,,,, as I was packing up a couple blokes rocked up looking for two missing pots of 4 in the same area as the pro's, apparently they were $80 pro quality pots from Hervy Bay so it's probable that those missing pots are now working full time. Raiding and outright stealing is just the worst scummy act and it's out of control,,,, same deal with everything in life,,,, it only takes a few arseholes to spoil it for everyone.
Awesome crab Catch and Cook video Sammy !! I love the videos Sammy !! Keep up the amazing work Sammy !! And Thanks for the videos Sammy !! Your my Favourite RUclipsr to watch on a Sunday Afternoon Sammy and whenever you upload new videos Sammy !! Cheers William !!
I live in Brisbane and haven't been out in the water for weeks. This wind is shocking. Good way to duck in and out of the wind and a nice little catch of fiddly crabs. Good work
You can also use pop up swivels. They keep your buoy down for 5 days then rust out and pop up so you can be there at least within a day of them popping up
Glad to see I'm not the only one to use old Gatorade bottles for ice. Although we are now using water + sodium polyacrylate as it stays frozen a longer.
So many people raid pots in the passage.. i always sink mine with a brick on the other end of the rope and mark it on the gps, then get them back with a reef anchor. Ive never put pots in the area where you put them with floats without getting raided/stolen 😭
should try a Singapore chili crab recipe with it man, that is the best crab dish known to man and its pretty simple and swimmer are probably the best contestant for the dish imo
That spot is thief central. I was fishing sp north of there and watched two guys check every pot along that stretch in broad daylight. Great vid again.
Hey mate nice work but noting on what we used to get there 20 year ago I grew up there and we would never ever keep anything that small the legal size back then was 150 mm your catch proves to me they made a big mistake lowering the size limit such a shame but good work and yeah we got pots raided back then too I remember it getting that bad you got abused even shot at occasionally pulling your own pots
unfortunately I reckon you could pretty much say that about most of the fisheries around here compared to 20 years ago. We need to put a lot more work into restoring them before they are all down the toilet!
That won’t stop them they thieve the pots as well , I don’t go far from my pots because of stinking thieving bastards and I don’t leave them out over night efffing grubs.
Nice feed there boys always disappointing when people touch your pots really gets under u skin have it happen to me plenty times but they take pots too least u got pots back and crab in them still nice work sammy
from Tuna to crabs! you are a true fishing legend pal! I keep telling all my fishing friends to watch your videos. I have question for you: I currently own a 6m bar crusher, thinking upgrading to a fibre glass centre console like yours for more fishing space, whats a good FGC boat around 6metres that you would recommand? Tia Jack
Thanks mate! appreciate the support! i would look towards the American brands personally. Sea Hunt's, sea fox's, contenders, trophy's, Grady White. All those should be right on the money for you!

Guys I was on lake catai port Macquarie a few years ago I anckerd 20 meters away from my pot and was fishing , you wouldn’t believe it a boat pulled up on our pot and pulled it right in front of us , man I was spewing with some very choice language at these guys , I didn’t report them but I should have , next time I catch someone doing it to my pots they will regret the day.
I get ptsd from watching crabbing videos when I like 10 I was out in a good ol inflatable boat and saw a milk carton in the water thinking it was rubbish picked it up and out of no where a guy came speeding over in his boat and gave me an absolute mouthful thinking I was stealing his stuff but tried explaining I thought it was rubbish just floating in the water wanting to take it and put it in the bin but he wouldn’t even let me speak calling me a theifing little c u in the Northern Territory and whatever else 😂
You ended up with some nice crab in the end it's a shame their has to be a minority of pricks out there that can't help themselves, great vid mate the crab looks so yum 🦀😋
Im in cairns 😂 but come from wa. Yeah swimmers are notch to notch, muddies are point to point. Man the fisheries shit me off, why not measure all crabs point to point, we measure all fish the same 🤔 thanks mate, keep chasing those bust ups and get the dogs 😂🤷♂️
great, but i was expecting more of the taste part. 30 min for fishing it, 3 min for cooking crab, then not 2 min of tasting what you both cooked and comparing. balance it out some. wouldn't mind knowing where/why u threw ur traps and more in depth on that part. I mean, act like ur a cooking show or something lol I wanted to savor the flavor through my screen after all that u know
Put mine in last week I zip tie all my pots up let them soak all night only to go back the next morning to find all the pots moved and all the ties cut of. God help the F##kers if I ever catch them doing it
I have a ex professional crabber here where I live he cuts your ropes steals your pots and puts his black cord on your pots and resets them and sells his crabs without a license fisheries r aware of him he has been caught several times over the last few years but he still does it
20:35 - "Old mate just...he's not..not about the esky life!". That cracked me up! 😂
16k subs? It's a shame for this channel's PR skill.
You deserve more mate.
I love watching crabing guys
was shocked when i saw how many subs you had, 100% should be up there with the top catch and cook channels. quality content and great banter, awesome vid mate
Cheers mate! appreciate it! slowly but surely building the numbers up!
Great video Sammy, the crabs are definitely on the run, especially here in Perth, its good to have such a great channel that consistently produces great videos. Its great seeing you getting bigger and bigger you deserve top of the platform!
Cheers mate! Really appreciate that! It's starting to gain some momentum now, hopefully it continues! Im hoping to do some fishing over Perth way next year actually!
What sort of a grub raids another fisho's pots?
I hope their bungs come out!
no idea mate, but its a bloody low act!
I’ve had someone steal two for my pots and raid all the others

Someone accused us for doing that even though it clearly stated our names and address on it!
A lot of people two of my crab pots have been taken! And I mean they took the whole pot with them
Over in SA at present....Lots of Crabs, Will give the "honey steam" a go.
It is the season for crabs 🦀 b safe out there boys 😉
hahahah look before you touch!
Hey Sammy, cheers mate same spot got a nice feed of Sandies, but found the smaller tide didn't carry as much black weed.Thanks Legend. Chris

I live in Brisbane and haven't been out in the water for weeks. This wind is shocking. Good way to duck in and out of the wind and a nice little catch of fiddly crabs. Good work
and the wind is still going too! my offshore gear is gathering dust!
@@SammyHitzkeFishing you should see my boat. Under cover but it's literally covered in dust man. This wind is not ideal
Good work boys 👍
Zip tie a foot of barbed wire on the rope about a meter under the floats, just don’t forget it when you pull em up 😂😂
hahah I reckon just stage a sniper up on the bank in a camo suit!
1:24 gotta love the valley haha haha good episode lads
hahah the second best spot to get a feed of crabs hahah
You can also use pop up swivels. They keep your buoy down for 5 days then rust out and pop up so you can be there at least within a day of them popping up
I still sink pots, highly illegal, but atleast the grubs cant hit em
To make your crabs a bit sweeter and to peel easier add a couple taps of vinegar.
I'll give it a try!
good show, great that you both got crabs together,lol.
hahah how all good mates should catch them!
Glad to see I'm not the only one to use old Gatorade bottles for ice. Although we are now using water + sodium polyacrylate as it stays frozen a longer.
Yeah I usually use just normal salt and water, works a treat!
Consistently good vids, nice work mate!
Cheers mate, appreciate it!
Have you tried adding vinegar to the water when you steam or boil them? It makes the meat sweeter and helps the meat not stick to the shell.
I haven’t tried that little trick yet. Will have to give it a whirl 🍻🍻🍻
Yum!!! Crabs are soo tasty!! Nice work guys!
Good morning. New friend here from Philippines. Great sharing Sir Crabs so delicious..God Bless more.
🙌🙌🙌 welcome to the channel! 🍻🍻
Your welcome too Sir.
It's sucks about the pots being raided though but at least you got something
Yeah its not ideal, hopefully karma gets them!
God bless you man keep up the good videos
washed all the good bits out middle. that's where all the flavour is !!!!!
hahah all yours mate! i'll pass
Good catch for crab🦀
Another awesome vid Sammy can’t wait to get amongst it myself. Onya mate👌👌
Good luck mate! Definitely worth the effort!
How many pots can we have each inNSW
So many people raid pots in the passage.. i always sink mine with a brick on the other end of the rope and mark it on the gps, then get them back with a reef anchor. Ive never put pots in the area where you put them with floats without getting raided/stolen 😭
Yeah its pretty sad! They need to crack down on it! Unfortunately fisheries doesn't really approve of the sinking of pots :(
Ive been doing it my whole life and have never gotten into trouble for it. Did you run yours out the front of red beach?
Love the video, Great commentary mate!
Thanks mate!
Sweet chilli crab mmmm
cheers for the vid, nice work on catching crabs
Cheers mate, appreciate it!
should try a Singapore chili crab recipe with it man, that is the best crab dish known to man and its pretty simple and swimmer are probably the best contestant for the dish imo
i'll have to give it a crack next time I get a few!
love it
I am absolutely salivating watching this 🤤
They are tasty little buggers!!
That spot is thief central. I was fishing sp north of there and watched two guys check every pot along that stretch in broad daylight. Great vid again.
bit of a shame! Surely those blokes have over their limit of crabs as well then?
Hey mate nice work but noting on what we used to get there 20 year ago I grew up there and we would never ever keep anything that small the legal size back then was 150 mm your catch proves to me they made a big mistake lowering the size limit such a shame but good work and yeah we got pots raided back then too I remember it getting that bad you got abused even shot at occasionally pulling your own pots

PS. I PUT cable ties on those pots mate and had no problems ,lucky maybe.
Yeah I thought about that, but i wasn't keen on them just cutting the mesh just to get into them!
Seen you at bribie spinnaker boat ramp this morning? Solid ep guys love the content. :)
haha nice mate! Should have come said G'day!
next time cook then in coconut milk! Awesome!
will have to give that a try! cheers!
Great video
Is that out the front of bribe island
yeah mate
0:06 me after a 1 night stand
Crab curry yum
Just bought a pair of those prawn pants 😂😂
haha balling!
Cool video mate, where abouts do u set in Morten bay ?
Around weed beds in 3-4m of water mate
Thanks mate ur a good man. Il see u out there one day. Look for an old v213c haines hunter called Glare
You should get a lock with a key to put on the traps to people don’t steel them lol 😂
hahah they'd probably just take the whole lot then!
That won’t stop them they thieve the pots as well , I don’t go far from my pots because of stinking thieving bastards and I don’t leave them out over night efffing grubs.
Nice feed there boys always disappointing when people touch your pots really gets under u skin have it happen to me plenty times but they take pots too least u got pots back and crab in them still nice work sammy
Yeah at least the pots didn't get stolen! That would have been even worse! cheers mate
To much you,have fun
Up the passage a touch, opposite Toorbul. Always the goods.
Need to chase some jacks Sammy!,
Jacks and I currently aren't talking...
Add a 1/4 cup white vinegar before while boiling and your crab meat comes out of the shell easier also works on lobsters.Thank you for sharing
yeah right, never heard of that one, will have to give it a go!
Try a Filipino way. Steam with sprite and a couple of tablespoons of vinegar 👍
Never tried that before, will have to give it a crack!
Another great video. Sadly we don’t get blue swimmers in my waters 😕 but global warming should have them in PPB any time soon 🤣🤣🍺🍺
hahah you'll have sandies and barra in no time!
We’re in au are you from fishing legend
Brisbane mate!
Fabulous

Yeah that's no good at all! definitely need to stop!!
Those crabs are so pretty
Awesome colours on them hey!
Sammy try the honey in ya water when cooking your prawns next time you get a feed, you wont regret it
I usually use brown sugar, but I reckon the honey would have a better flavour!
I use to methodical tie chemically sharpened hooks on my rope anyone who would pull my pots up got a bit of a sting or 2

You walked right past me but I was to shy to say anything
Sammy gets crab's easier than Lindsay..what sort of pub you been at Sammy..lolzzzx

Blue Swimmer crabs
Thank you!

Cooking some now I put some honey in🧐

its crazy how much slang australians share with the scottish
Nice vid
You ended up with some nice crab in the end it's a shame their has to be a minority of pricks out there that can't help themselves, great vid mate the crab looks so yum 🦀😋
definitely a shame! Be nice if everyone just looked after their own gear!
Look like great eating
yeah mate they are unreal!
Wayn rooney is fishing . Interesting
Wow really amazing. I raise a Korean crab and post a video on my channel. I want to raise the crab you caught. That is really cool.
I saw you at ramp today
You know you're in deep when you choose a catch and cook video instead of a wildcat video.
hahah!
Why do blue jellyfish mean sandys are around
The walkers on comment 😂
hahah did you tell them walkers on! how good was the footy show!
@@SammyHitzkeFishing yeah I did 😂😂
Dirty dogs raiding other people's pots...they'll get whats coming to them eventually...thankfully you still got a nice feed...
hopefully Karma kicks their ass!
I lived in Hervey bay they steel the pots out there I stop craben because of that
Wheres the sick looking pink crab from the thumbnail??
Thought crabs were point to point for measure???🤔
Not for us here in QLD
Im in cairns 😂 but come from wa. Yeah swimmers are notch to notch, muddies are point to point. Man the fisheries shit me off, why not measure all crabs point to point, we measure all fish the same 🤔 thanks mate, keep chasing those bust ups and get the dogs 😂🤷♂️
awesome video m8 smashed that sub button 👍
Cheers!!
where are you????
Pumicestone passage mate
Both very handsome
My cousin is Chris Walker the football player
hahah Walkers on!
U should attach a camera
Me
Hi
do another crabbing vid but for muddies
Its on the cards mate, maybe later down the track though
I wanna catch crabs.
hahah either head to the night clubs in the Valley or load up the pots!
@@SammyHitzkeFishing Yeppers, I have an itching to catch them. 😎 All jokes aside, they make a great cream of crab soup.
These are blue swimmer crabs not sand crabs
Exactly the same thing.
probs 115 mm not cm mate i dont think they get that big haha
hence the correction on the screen ;)
@@SammyHitzkeFishing shit soz bro was probs typing when it came up all good great vids
i really hate people that raid pots
Me too mate!

Ive zip tied mine too yet have still pulled them up with the zip tie cut. Grubs everywhere
Need some form of locking mechanism on the pots lol
2bnvsfishing I'm working on it👍
I have a ex professional crabber here where I live he cuts your ropes steals your pots and puts his black cord on your pots and resets them and sells his crabs without a license fisheries r aware of him he has been caught several times over the last few years but he still does it
yeah that's the worst mate, if they cant get in they usually just cut the mesh
Clean them before you ever cook them. So much better
Both ways worked pretty well, easier to eat them cleaned though when they are done
