this is more than blue crabbing in cape cod

The vinegar is to help the meat release from the Shell when they're cooking

That was great! and you are a fantastic Dad! I like to chill mine then clean them and cook them with garlic, herbs, and oil in a large fry pan but this was just excellent. lots of love in your heart. G-d bless you and your family..

You are a GREAT Father and your children are extremely lucky.Your children will always depend on you until they give you grand children. GOD has been good to you. You are also a great American,GOD bless you Bill Petillo

I grew up in MD and its nice to see people here in the Northeast enjoy this sport. I spend my summers on Narragansett Bay and I catch enough every year to satisfy my blue crab addiction.

It's easy....keep them in a cooler with a frozen bottle of water....and keep a wet towel or seaweed on top of the crabs..

Thanks for the memories

Great video!!!!! I hope more young kids learn to enjoy the outdoors!!!!

Excellent video. Great job Dad!

Great video. Good catch. Creating memories for the kids that I'm sure they will never forget and will pass it on to other friends. I took some family out crabbing over here in California. They didn't even touch their smartphones. Pure fun for everyone.

I've been here for years from Brooklyn, NY and oh how I was disappointed when I found out the only blue crab I can buy must be frozen. I used to go crabbing with my dad off of the Coney Island pier, best times ever

I hunt them on the cape - dont bother with traps etc and chicken... i use a net and powerful light - they kinda freeze in the light like a deer does... and you can pick and choose what size you catch and let the females go... I can catch a limit of 25 in like an hour, maybe 90 min hunting them... i go at night obviously - daytime is fun, but it always seems harder in the day and less successful to me.... anyhow, i also clean them before cooking. toss em in a cooler of ice water for 5 to 10 min and that basically puts them into a very docile state. then you can pop the top off, rip out the lungs and guts, and just leave the meat in the body and claws... i can clean 25 in less than an hour, sort em into bags to freeze and save or ready to cook and eat... they freeze well - for like crab cakes at easter time or new years or whenever... especially when they arent back in the shallows yet. so i save a bunch at the end of the season to eat over the winter etc. Then when they show up in late may or early june through september, i can get plenty and have lots for the off season... another cool video to watch is andy nebreski from On The Water - living off the land and sea - #2 --- he gives some good tips on hunting at night... headlamps a must, along with another flashlight you can use with your hand and pop in your teeth when you go to use the net and scoop them up. -- and you can drag around a 5 gal bucket with foam at the top to keep it upright and not sink.. toss a handful of seaweed in every few crabs so they dont all kill each other and rip each other apart...

This was great! Can you tell us some places that are good for crabbing. We just drive to the cape for day trips

Great video! Im from the chrsapeake bay area and blue crabs are in our blood down here. Try steaming them with beer as well. Just use equal parts beer, water and vinegar for your steam and then mix the old bay with some rock salt [2 parts old bay-1 part rocksalt] then sprinkle the mixture on the crabs. It will taste devine!

I ONLY use beer to steam my shell fish lol

I really like this but I hope there are enough crabs to hold up to our appetite.

GJ guys

Hi I'm a big fan of crab fishing I subscribed for your kids I'm a 10 year old

👍👍

Use tongs so you don't get pinched

Good vid

Those style traps don't open in a strong current. That's why I prefer the cheaper circular net. And had you thought of a little red wagon for all your gear?

Thats a slow death! Isnt boiling them kill them asap?

How do you keep the crabs alive for hours after you catch them? Because I drive with my parents to cape cod to fish and I'm gonna try crabbing and I figure we will be there all day so I need them to live until I get back home.

I live in onset,Ma

Hi Can you please tell me where is the address? Cape cod is very large . I would like to bring my two little boys to go there , however I can't find the address. My boys love to watch this video!! Thanks for sharing with us !!

So i guess the kids dont get to eat crab?

is there a weight that needs to be put back in?

They need to be a minimum of 5" across and male only. They weren't doing this legally, as they had no gauge, weren't measuring any of them and weren't checking gender.
