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'm 72 going on 73 years old. What a fine young man this is. Any man my age would be proud to have him as a grandson. I wish you a long and happy life young guy.
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!
You actually know how to clean and eat your crabs the right way. I enjoyed you crabbing show.
I do miss those days on the Wye River. I learned to cook them the same way. Steam not boiled . .
I'm a MD native. Moved 2 years ago to wv. Dammit I miss blue crabs. It was a summer pastime. Only time family would get together....when I come back to visit I'm sitting for 4-6 hours picking crabs and drinking beer amen!!!

Thank you! I personally believe the blue catfish are hitting the crabs especially hard.
Perch has proven time and again to be the crab favorite…. I never leave home without it!!!! Maybe I’ll see you out there, I’m on the other side of the PAX.

Good job young man!!! Loving it.
That’s right! Show them how us SHOREBOYS do it!
Wow that looks so delicious. Wish i was there to eat.😊
Wow! Can I go with you next time.😂
I get my Dungeness crabs from Newport Oregon.Chesapeake Bay and Blue Crabs are a little out of reach.But not impossible if i put my mind to it.😁👍
Show us how it's done D! Them crabs are mighty good to eat.Some folks like their crabs dipped in butter.Not me,i enjoyed mine dipped in a combination of salt,black pepper and lemon juice.😋😁👍
Only problem with steaming them,you have to end up dipping the meat in seasoning,boil hives way more flavor
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.

Those old traps sure do work great! We have used them for many seasons and plan to use them for many more.
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 !
great video, what location?
Can you tell me where you cat the crab? And what month?
So what river was that you were crabbing in

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

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.
What area of the bay is this?

Pretty sus if you ask me
once you expend 480 calories to extract the crab meat, you're ready consume about 280 calories of crab meat.
