What a great video- lost my crabbing/fishing buddy in 2015 & boy do I miss it. Cheers Denise- Brisbane

Always good fun with you and Shauno. I haven't mud crabbed for thirty odd years but that session definitely woke up the old fire and taste bud memories. Thanks guys.

Wow, I couldn't agree more. Dad and I did all kinds of fishing, hunting and camping together as I grew up. He passed many years ago. I was 15 at that time. I miss him terribly, so very grateful for the many memories of those times we spent together. Dad made those experiences happen. So gentlemen, I'm loving this video. Enjoy these times. As a Dad myself, I've tried to give my daughter some of these same experiences. You can't go wrong!!

When my husband and I lived in Maryland USA, he used a 200 foot trout line with chicken necks and wings tied every 3 ft. He would run the line one way and then the other way. You roll the line next to the boat and use s fish net to bring them into the boat. We crabed for Blue Channel Crabs and could get a bushel in about an hour. Have to steam them in a pot with 1 cup of water, 1 can of beer and 1 cup of vinegar with Old Bay seasoning and rock salt. Can only get old bay online or in Maryland.

Great way to cook them, but, You can get old bay in any supermarket in NY….

Never grab a muddie's claw when they're locked on to something - they will always throw. Let them relax, release, and pick em up by the swimmers. Love the vids and appreciate the uploads, keep up the awesome work!

awesome crabbing and love the banter. Keep up the amazing content

I am a new subscriber. Thank you for a great video. I live in the USA. I love crabbing videos. Just to see how different cultures cook them up. Thank you again.

Love the content. MY new go to for KZread. Thanks for the awesome content!! I have a lot of watching to do.

Uncle Buck checking in from New York been using chicken for last 50 years Blue Claws love it here . You guys are awesome love the videos !!

Hands down the best bait out there is a bit of roadkill on the way to the boat ramp. Nothing like a sunshine-marinated kangaroo tail!

Here in UK mammal and poultry baits for crab & lobster are illegal, some risk of bacterial contamination. Stealing from pots,is a risk of serious harm here, you could end up as free floating burley.

My only and usually successful crab pot bait were 2-3 day old aged trout heads in a zip-lock bag. That's because I lived in Alberta, Canada and saved the fish heads from my inland catches on our occasional vacation trips to the Pacific west coast and islands of British Columbia. I only had one crab pot at a time, but went trough three of them from 1974 onwards, each one of them eventually rusting or the netting deteriorating. At best one legal size crab daily, but there were lots of other seafood goodies: mussels, oysters and clams to feed us daily.

Nice to see what the guys are doing.I just love it. Wish I could join them. I like it. Good luck guys. Marie Reyes.

Mac and striped tuna for sure. It sends out a big bloody burley trail that zones them in. Best crab bait IMOA

Cracking vid boys, fish frames always did the trick for us.

On the coast of Washington State I use Chicken for Dungeness crabs, because the Sealions don't eat chicken. I've seen them tear up crab pots with fish in them!

Mud crab claws are equivalent to stone crab claws! So delicious 🤤🤙🏼

Wow!You guys are awesome catching all those big crabs 🦀 👍👍good job!Watching from Washington USA

Now I want to go crabbing. I use cod carcasses or tuna carcasses the bloodier the better, we collected the blood and guts in small coffee cans when we butchered ours, stuck it all in the freezer, when frozen solid take them to the coast punch a few holes in the can put it in the trap with a carcass, then throw it in the bay. Then go back to the trailer, watch a movie or two or take a nap, fix a pot of tea and read a good book for a few hours, then go down pull the traps, check the catch rebait as necessary. I have a big ice chest that I fill half full with seawater and a couple of five gallon jugs that I take seawater home in, I then dump the keepers in the chest. Change the water the next morning. It makes for a fun overnight trip to the coast and besides the Dungeness crabs are really tasty, we do not have the mud crabs here, but we have the invasive Japanese red rock crabs in some of our bays.

Great fun mate

Chicken bait is the best bait for any kind of crab fishing!

Good to see Shauno make an appearance again.

First time watching your channel, from the crab state of Maryland, USA.. hey here we steam our crabs in beer, with OBAY SEASONING, SALT, LEMON JUICE, SQUIRT OF WHITE VINIGER..STEAM FOR 20MINS..MEAT doesn't come out watery meat is steam in beer. Dip in melted garlic butter....yum yum. As far as catching, fresh fish parts work chicken legs or heart& gizzards.

How good was that! Got to love a good crabbing session

I have never heard a man so eager to catch crabs

Being an ex-crabber commercial I always used chicken heads from the slaughter house and they worked brilliant. Next I would go for shark guts especially the Liver.

Chicken frames been doing the treat for years Sammy. Nice haul brother!

I use a tin of cat food and jam holes in it with a screwdriver, works a treat

After the floods always used to set our traps near any dead cow floating down the river 👍👍 and Roo tail for bait

Nice vid bois,nicer crabs,cuple off pro’s up at Mackay will use any fresh fish from there nets but will get exited and suggest Roo as 1# My last trip up there I had a accident and went back to see what nature this accidental mishap was in,wasn’t in the best shape so came the rest of the trip up

Those look delicious!

from Indonesia, come to watch your fun KZread videos, greetings from your hobby, success for your channel

Fresh tuna stakes is the way to go

I tend to use chooks, fish frames and lamb. Definitely give lamb a try too but has to be raw tho.

Well done Guys, a long time ago I learnt to be very careful of a crab that has dropped a claw, I didn't know that the pressure continues after the claw detaches, and it just happened to be around my rod, No Shauno, not that rod, it crushed that fiberglass rod like a hot knife through butter! And it was a jenny, but the claw was still wrapped around my rod, I couldn't throw it back,It was delicious:)

i like this kind of vlog

🎉 SoFlo here … Tampa area … best bait … dead Python. Yup . Long lasting and Stinky . Good Crabbing ❣️👍🏻

Great vid mate👍 Fresh mullet for me 🦀🍻

I have used alot of baits in pots and my top 3 mackerel heads. lamb liver (is my favourite) and good old fresh caught mullet yeah lamb liver has always caught me the most and the biggest mudcrabs

Great video and love the style of the crab pots, used to help my uncle with his hobby pots on the Chesapeake Bay

Salmon or tuna frame is always my go too

Mullet sammy. Few dead. One alive up the top. And Fyi N.S.W. born and bread and have always let Jenny's go. Plus if you have a Jen in a pot. Keep her in she attracts the bucs. Love your work mate.

That's a good idea, pretty obvious when u think about it.

Mr. Sammy have you tried the raw chicken parts?? It is great for crabbing!! When my X boy friend and I went fishing we used to pour cans of tuna fish in the water then fish would come from every direction!! Make sure that you are in a bigger boat because it attracts real big fish too!!

I crab on the Oregon coast and mostly use chicken. Crabs love it but the seals don't. Seals will rip your pots open to get fish.

WTG MATES NICE CRAB YOU HAVE THERE ALL YOU NEED NOW IS SOME ICE COLD BEER CHEERS MATES

I live in Rhode Island in the US and Chicken is one of my favorite crab bait’s.

10 big bucks for 3 dudes is an epic day!😎 we have blue crabs and stone crabs in the US which are different but this still looks like a nice haul for this species!😎. I would say any crab along with a cpl of cold ones-is a damn good day!

Might be hard to get over there, but Old Bay seasoning in the boil pot is how we do it here on the east coast of Merica

awesome job guys, but now im not sure what bait to use, i just use a good ol' mullet frame or 2 but out of 8 pots my son and i are lucky to only get one and even thats rare

I wished I was fishing with you. I miss saltwater fishing.

My favorite bait is whatever you put in the pot as this is the closest I get to crabbing 🤣🤣

I just like to hear them talk🥰

Hi Sammy, great video. Can you share your recipe for your sugar and salt bath ? Also do you have a salt to water ratio you use for the cooking pot ? Looking to find a better way to cook these guys. Thanks mate, cheers, Steve

One time I went crab trapping I used squid and mackerel chunks, the pot was so full of crabs I thought it had been caught up on bottom but slowly and surely it was a full pot of crabs.

Chicken frames go alright up there Good luck lads

Where I'm from in Scotland we use salted mackerel. Salt it till putrid!!! Would love to hear if it works for you my dude!!

Get yourself some old bay seasoning for cooking them and some melted butter for dipping emm

Begin the rest is easy. 👍

Chook works well on the blue swimers in north WA.

Question have you ever tried putting the mud crabs in ice water to make them in a type of sleep? It works here in Washington State for crabs!

chicked frames i have used for years they work really well

I'm amazed at your ability to count plus your pragmatism to tout.

Everything and everyone likes a bit of chicken. Used to catch Carolina blue crabs with chicken necks as a kid. Catching crabs, at least the eating kind- is a good time.

We use chicken,chicken livers for cat fish bait in the states,it's best to let it sit a few days in a bag in or mostly in the sun makes it super stinky...

My favourite crabbing bait is mullet heads, every time me and my dad go crabbing we always catch atleast 3 crabs or more keepers. We also use fish frames like you are and we use chicken legs

Oyster an tuna teen I reckon the best 👌🏽 👍

Fresh chicken frames marinated in tuna oil 😉👍

Chicken for muddies and frames for sandies

I watching you all catching your catch

We use chicken drums for hand lines and dip nets

I bet if you took a spotlight at night and boated around them mangroves you’d catch a mountain of crabs

Live in NY and chix best bait hands down-the stinkier/older the better it seems

Honestly those will all work for crab . -Fresh chicken backs are cheap and good -Turkey necks work ( makes them crazy ) - old stinky ( raw chicken) attracts everything, snails, stone crab, blue crab and pufferfish I think stinky chicken sends the most. Scent

Wow..I love to cook mud crabs ..

Blue crabs are a mainstay over here in the states and if you hunt around enough you can find packs of chicken backs on-line.....is a by-product of breaking up a bird and has about 80% of the fat..feet go to China and the rim......competition for wings is fierce......and mass pieces and parts are at the Big box by the 10 lb bag.......we consider that left over fish guts and pieces will work 2 but chicken is the bait of choice
