How to Catch Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs! (Catch Clean Cook)

Спорт

Fall on the Chesapeake Bay usually brings great fishing and crabbing. Right now the crabs are running good and are nice and fat before the head to deeper water for winter. I head out on a small creek in my jon boat to try my luck at crabbing using only a dozen drop traps. It didn't take long and I was getting some real nice sized crabs. I hope you all enjoyed the catch, clean, cook aspect of this video. The crabs were delicious! Make sure to subscribe to the channel for more outdoor content!

    I grew up in the 50s and 60s in baltimore and enjoyed going out on the bay in old wooden row boats, threw hand lines overboard with chicken necks and caught them with crab nets. Sometimes we would fill bushel baskets with large crabs .. jumbos. Those were the days and this video brought back memories

    Outstanding young man! I lived in Baltimore for a while back in the 70's and developed a love of crabs then. Upon returning to Texas I continued my quest and found there's no closed season and the population is strong and robust! I even went so far as to move to the coast for several years. I got my crabs with handlines, trotlines and traps like you had on your dock. But, I never got away from Old Bay seasoning! To me crabs just don't taste right without it!

    Nice job! They look like my old traps I sold last season. Those old rusty traps do great. Don't like the traps that have the rubber on them.

    Great video. If I may anytime you're steaming blue crabs a hand me down secret. Before your liquid comes to a boil add a can of Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer and those crabs soak in a flavor that will make you want to just smack your Momma. I have had many a crab cookout in my family and my crabs are always consumed first. Others have used their favorite beer and even they comment on mine as being the best. I don't know why Pabst does it but give it a try. It's awesome !

    How do you know where to crab? How shallow/deep? How long do you steam the crabs?

  • @watersedgetv

    @watersedgetv

    Any tidal creek should have crabs during the summer and fall. We usually crab between 4 - 10 feet deep. If you can find a channel edge, they like to travel along those. We usually cook our crabs for 25-30 minutes once they turn red in the steamer.
