That’s awesome! Hope it was a fun time!

Right back at you brother. Yes, there are many different ways to catch them, several that we didn't mention at all in this video. However, these are the two that I think are fun and relatively easy to do as a family. And the other part that is fun to do as a family is eat em!

Good luck and God bless!

Thank you very much!

Thank you my friend!

@@fatherandsonsfishing Thank you for the heart ❤

Thanks bud, we appreciate it!

Thanks! May or may not have learned the hard way that’s a safer way to do things...😬

Thanks Dana! I can definitely relate to feeling crabby after working all night -- in fact that's me right now! We didn't focus on the eating part, but that is what makes crabbing even more worthwhile. That, plus there aren't many treble hooks at risk of finding your hand!😳😬

TONS of fun! Thank you!

True North Angler - Thank you Adrian! It was a fun trip for the whole family. Hope you all are doing okay up north, my friend.👍

Thanks for watching!

Haha, that’s right! Hope you get the chance to try it sometime!

Thank you!

Thanks Mike! Delicious crabs that night, to bad we didn't do the 'cook' part of this video... That turtle was so big that at first I thought it was a snapper?!!

FitzYakin - Yessir! As fun as it is on the water, it’s even better once that water starts to boil!🙂

Thank you my friend! Maryland and Virginia are great places to crab! Probably not many crabs in Denver, but it's so beautiful there!

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

Haha, thanks mate! I'll bet that frisbee crab was swimming around in circles for a minute once we landed, lol. Agree about crabbing and crayfishing; I've watched your crayfishing videos and thought how similar it is to how we crab. Tight lines and full traps mate!

Thank you very much, and yes we are!

Thanks buddy! You should definitely give it a try sometime, lots of fun!!!

That catch was definitely unexpected! We had lots of fun, thanks for watching!

I've made this mistake before which makes it even more painful -- when the camera is asleep, you hit the record button TWICE, but mostly I film on my phone or GoPro and it's only ONCE for record!💁‍♂️ I appreciate the comment Dave, it makes me feel better. And yes, that was some mighty fine eatin' for sure!

Haha, thank you! That actually sounds really good...🥣🙂

Good luck! I’m sure there are some great crabbing locations there!

You never know...

Thank you, John!

The fishing has been good from what I've heard, I'm sure that will carry over into the fall. Hope you guys can make it down there again soon!

Happy to help!

Yeah, I don't think you'll find em in Wisconsin, but if you ever get a chance to try crabbing in the east or the south, you should give it a try! We didn't show this part of it in the video, but they are really good to eat too!

Thank you very much! I completely agree with you about the handline at water level. After watching your crabbing video, it’s really made me want to find a place to try that out, especially for the kids. Y’all really have a good system that worked really well!

Thank you!

Thank you Cindy, we appreciate it!

Thanks Rande! Not my finest moment behind the lens, but at least to GoPro was running.

@@fatherandsonsfishing I was watching it and thinking "why don't we see the view from the other camera" and then you said you didn't have it turned on. I had to laugh because I've done the same thing many times. It's nice to know I'm not the only one.

Thanks buddy! Was a really fun trip, and while we didn't film this part of it, the eating was GOOD!

@@fatherandsonsfishing nice we love crab

Thanks brother! I love to take the family fishing, but I think crabbing is the ultimate family experience, especially when you get to eat em! I realized early on that those strings were too flimsy and I've never regretted switching them out; when it gets snaggy you can just horse those traps right in, kinda like fishing with 50lb braid, lol! I hope you and your family are doing well and staying safe!

Good luck! I hope you do well and have fun!

You know it!!! Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

Tight lines, thanks for watching!

That's awesome, Adam! I just saw your photos on IG. What is the name of your drone channel? I've never flown mine over this location, but it's been on my list.

@@fatherandsonsfishing @fissionbomb.pmr is my drone channel and IG. I have it linked in my bio. I fly FPV so it is a little different from most drone channels.

Thanks!

Thanks!

@@fatherandsonsfishing thank you for being friends

Great minds indeed, Don! Am hoping we get better news about CJ here in just a little while...🤞

Father & Sons Fishing me too 🤞

Thanks and God Bless! We will check y'all out! Thanks for the support!

Haha, I doubt that will be the case Chris! I'm looking forward to seeing how y'all do it, I always learn something from your videos. AND... Hopefully we can get a catch & cook? We steam our crabs, but I'd love to do a cajun crab boil sometime...

@@fatherandsonsfishing lol well...nothing fancy that I can promise you :-)

Thank you!

Thank you! It's super effective and they're about 14 bucks on Amazon. I believe these are Eagle Claw brand.You sometimes see string traps in shops, but I'd definitely recommend going with metal since they do get beat up a bit.

@@fatherandsonsfishing Thanks for responding.. *CRAB ON!*

10-15 minutes. When the bite is good, you could pull these traps up every 5 minutes and catch crabs.

If you are like me and don't have a boat, both crabbing and shrimping are a little more challenging. But through trial and error, and checking google maps, I have been lucky to find a few places that are good from shore. Good luck!

​@@fatherandsonsfishing Thank you so much for the response. Look forward to more vlogs Happy crabbing 🦀

North Carolina. Thanks for watching!

Lots of great memories fishing with my dad not crabbing**

Haha, thanks John! And yes, they were GOOD! Either those guys had coronavirus or I am just the crab whisperer, LOL! The only thing different about this trip was that I didn't have the tongs in my hand very much and by default I was handling the crabs right out of the nets/traps way more than would be normal. You have more crabbing experience than I do, but what I noticed during this trip is that they pretty much behaved when I really grabbed them with authority (which is what I had to do to hand-grab them right out of the traps). I'm sure you've noticed the same while fishing, but it seems like if you try to lip a fish it squirms way more than if you firmly grab it behind the neck. Perhaps that was the reason here? Regardless, I'd still like crab whisperer to be part of the equation... 😂🤣🦀

Not if you can find a good place!

@@fatherandsonsfishing If you know some place near Atlantic beach I all ears. 😃

@@ludi2shoes Sorry, just know the Outer Banks.

We've never crabbed that far south, but if you go up north to Nags Head and go to the public wildlife pier under the Manteo bridge there are plenty of easily accessible places to crab. And we've had good luck there!

Yes and yes!

Thanks. It's a bulkhead off the 2nd bridge going into Colington, NC

Colington

Hi! This was in Colington and another good place to go is the fish and wildlife pier under the bridge out to Manteo.

@@fatherandsonsfishing Awesome! Thanks!

If you’re crabbing from shore I think a moving tide is best, preferably incoming, and I’ve usually done better in the morning.

@@fatherandsonsfishing thank you !

I’m here in obx do you recommend a spot?

KDH

OBX!

No license needed if you are recreational crabbing like we do in this video.

Yeah, I think we only caught one female this entire trip, but we did catch several on another trip and made a video exactly on the topic of mature vs. juvenile females: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i7Rjkshz2Z-Wp3U.html
