We're setting crab traps baited with 3 different types of baits to see which one lures the most crabs into our traps. #best #bait #crabbing


This video from Salty Reflections documents a crabbing trip in Beaufort, South Carolina, where the hosts, Oliver and Steph, test different baits to see which one attracts the most blue crabs.

Key events and discussions:
Setting the traps (0:23-6:10): Despite the rain, Oliver is eager to go crabbing. They bait four traps with fresh fish, store-bought chicken, and Balihoo, placing them in marsh creeks known for crabbing. They discuss the dropping tide and the need to set the traps quickly.
Crab cake encouragement (2:32-2:38): Steph mentions that the delicious crab cakes she made the previous night encourage her to go crabbing.
Betting on the best trap (11:15-11:51): Before checking the traps, they bet on which trap will yield the most crabs, with Steph choosing trap number two, baited with chicken, which has historically been successful.
Nature observations (13:37-16:38): While waiting for the tide to come in, they observe and identify various birds, including an osprey on its nest and a black-crowned night heron, highlighting the natural beauty of the area.
Dinner discussion (16:44-17:50): They recount their dinner at Seaside Bar and Grill in St. Helena, recommending the restaurant.
Checking trap #4 (18:52-23:49): The first trap pulled (technically trap number four, baited with fresh fish) yields 12 crabs, with 6 keepers.
Checking trap #3 (25:18-29:30): The second trap pulled (trap number three, baited with Balihoo) yields with 5 keepers. They note the larger size of crabs from this deeper hole.
Checking trap #2 (30:34-33:18): The third trap pulled (trap number two, baited with chicken), which Steph predicted would be the best, yields 8 keepers.
Checking trap #1 (37:14-40:20): The final trap pulled (trap number one, baited with chicken) only yields 3 crabs with 0 keepers, leading to a total of 19 keeper crabs from all four traps (excluding the 2 that Oliver accidentally let escape).
Call to action (42:17-42:44): The video ends with a thank you to viewers and an encouragement to like and subscribe for more crabbing videos.
