We are in Long Island, New York and we head to the grass flats to go crabbing, catching blue crabs with Brian's sister Amy and our good friend Chris! Hunter the dog joins us for the adventure & we had a blast catching blue crabs! Crabbing with nets, only kept the big male blue crabs and releasing all females. We show you how to clean a blue crab and in the kitchen we made homemade blue claw crab cakes since we didn't keep that many crabs, best crab cake recipe ever! Don: Site fishing for crabs - a new one for me. I grew up on the Texas Gulf Coast, went crabbing often. For cleaning, we used a wringer. Many years ago gas stations used them to wring out towels. It was two rollers turned by a hand crank. Remove the shell and claws and the innerds but leave the legs on. Break the grab in two. Feed the legs between the rollers and turn the crank and the meat gets squeezed out.

Hey pudding I don't know if you know it but from where you come from a bellport have places load or with crabs I don't know if you know the whole area about but I come from Long Island originally we used to go down to the end of Beaver dam road and throw our chicken x and when the line got tight you read them really slow and if you went down by spit point and put your boat in the water it's a lot easier because you put a chicken neck on it and if your line gets tight you pull it up nice and easy he won't feel himself getting forwarded to the the land you seem to be a scooper right up with the net used to get them all over that place I don't know why you went to captree you come from Long Island right much closer to home where I came from holtsville

In the late 60's, my dad and I would go out on a small outboard boat crabbing. We used carb traps, had 4 doors that opened when they hit bottom. We tied on fish heads for bait. We would then tie bait to hand lines, and lower them over. Wait a bit, and you could feel the crabs pulling the bait. We pulled them up very slow, then netted them when we saw them before they saw the boat. The traps would have up to 6 or more carbs in them. Was nothing to go home with 80 to 100 Blue Crabs off the coast of New Jersey.

Are the females peeler crabs? They usually ride with the males prior to molting. Funny when you ask- Are they breeding? Response - I don t know. If there was a shedding tank depending on how close they were to molting you could have soft crabs in a few days. Unless they have already molted and are getting hardened again after breeding. I shed soft crabs for years.

Have a safe trip when you get ready to head back home. Yes, you need to go blue crabbing when you get home. I would be interested if they have a different flavor coming from two different regions so take some back home with you for a side by side comparison.

Blue Crabs are plentiful, but a lot of work. If you ever get to Louisiana down in Cajun Country around Lafayette, you will see Blue crabs bigger than anything I ever saw. The average from tip to tip on the shells is almost 7. Huge and so tasteful.

You're allowed to keep Females because it's still Sustainable! Females only Mate ONCE and lay the eggs a couple times from it. They shouldn't get a Lifetime Pass. Florida is just screwed up in that department. Ha

I always clean crabs before cooking and pulling the dog in over the stern looks painful when a lab puts it paws on the rail of the boat hold your hand or arm behind his head and he can pull himself right in the boat

That dog was just loving life. In the back of the truck it was like you're not going nowhere without me! Such a sweetie. Tell your sister she's very nice but was overshadowed by the pooch.

I took my grandkids to Corey beach just the other day.
A lot of memories at Captree. Geez
I love fresh blue crab cakes, but not a fan of all that work to tell you the truth.
