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.

I love watching you enjoy this time with your dad. The only thing better than enjoying the outdoors, is enjoing it with the old man.

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.

Always a good video when Shauno and the Phantom are in it

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!

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!

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.

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

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.

Down under always has aussies having clean fun. Blessings on you, mates.

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 !!

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

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!

My favourite bait to use is whole mullet and chicken frames. Nice vid👍

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.

Its funny because I have been watching Shauno's channel for a while now(Im into 4x4) and found Sammy recently(Im also into fishing)

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

I have never heard a man so eager to catch crabs

Wow !!! Super 💥 Thanks for your good Crab catching and good video presentation 💋🙏💋

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!

Good Session for a nice feed of crabs ! Got me fired up !

Gr8 video Sammy. Live watching & the tips. A shout out to the phantom(the d fellas) the only one game enough to tie up the crabs. Go the phantom. Cheers guys.

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

Thank you for sharing this video!

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

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

Good to see Shauno make an appearance again.

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

Good work men👌. Chicken frame with a half a mullet shoved into the chicken.👍🍻

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.

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

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

I wish I lived down under…. I swear I did in a past life, because the exotic animals and land and people just speak to me and I feel like I miss it. Like its familiar but I grew up in the Appalachian mountains. Who knows 🤷‍♂️ but I do know them Mud crabs gotta be delicious

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.

Life goal, catch crabs with Sammy and shuano!! 🤣🤣🤣

Great Video! Would be fantastic to see a video on Spanner Crabbing as well.

Fresh fish frames is my fav crab bait

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

"NO LOBSTER TONIGHT HONEY....... I'M BRINGING HOME THE CRABS!!!". HAHAHAHA!!!!!

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...

Great fun mate

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

A great watch 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

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

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

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

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

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!

i like this kind of vlog

Salmon or tuna frame is always my go too

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

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.

Kangaroo tail hands down

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:)

Hi Guys, love your video... Here in lower Alabama in the bay we live on we get the best results with chicken... TOTALLY AWESOME.

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

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.

2:47 naughty peg 😂😂

Fresh tuna stakes is the way to go

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!!

Doing so well with your channel Sammy 🙏you’ll be at 100 k soon enough then doing it full time ✌🏻😃✌🏻

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

Those look delicious!

chicked frames i have used for years they work really well

Awesome job thanks for sharing stay safe

dont pick a crab up by its claws they will always release their nippers under stress, instead have a bucket of water or something to put the crab in and they release like nothing happened, but awesome video as always sammy

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.

Great vid mate👍 Fresh mullet for me 🦀🍻

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!!

In the pnw I’ve always found chicken carcass to work really well, cheap cat food will do too

Awsome Bloody great feed there yummo well done

Top video Sammy. Best bait is chicken frames.

Begin the rest is easy. 👍

Chicken frames go alright up there Good luck lads

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

We use chicken drums for hand lines and dip nets

I watching you all catching your catch

Yeah Sammy! You got crabs!! 😂😂. Nice one mate

Mud crab possession limit dropped from 10 to 7. Crab ^† Species Size and possession limits Blue swimmer 11.5cm min Possession limit of 20 Read note 2 Mud 15cm min Possession limit of 7 per person / 14 per boat (with 2 or more people on board) Read note 2 Spanner † 10cm min Possession limit of 20 Read note 1 and note 2

Mullet or catfish , best bait , roo meat is good but takes longer to get ripe and attracts crocs

You Have Crabs!

Wow..I love to cook mud crabs ..

Chicken Frames!!!!

Chook works well on the blue swimers in north WA.

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

Mudd crabs blue crabs🦀 love 💕 rotten chicken 🐓 we always used rotten stinky chicken the stinkier the more we caught!!!

Lady friend of mine works in a large commercial chicken processing plant and their excess chicken frames are sold off to several pro crabbers

Have you tried cooking the crabs in beer and vinegar as well? How about adding some Old Bay Seasoning from Maryland?

Fresh chicken frames marinated in tuna oil 😉👍

Great feed lads
