OK when you say freshwater? Do you mean tapwater? I am super sensitive to chlorine and if I cook my crab and tapwater, it taste like chlorine to me. I prefer Baywater hands-down, and if I have to use tapwater, I will add salt to try to wash out some of the chlorine aftertaste

Hi Ron, Are the crabbing regulations different for each state? Pertaining to sizes of the traps, cages, and sizes of the openings? We usually travel to NC OBX, Georgia & Florida, so I'm wondering if I can use the same traps in each state? You listed 'some of the gear needed', but I was hoping you also listed where you bought the traps shown? Why couldn't a person buy a slew of RACCOON box traps, say off of TEMU, & just alter the one side opening 'trip' door? Simple & CHEAP? THANKS

Beautiful pictures!

Van, great insight.

Also do mix the squid with your recipe

Do think your recipe will work in bait bags

Very helpful video, knowing a life jacket would make this much difference and how to use one gives me more confidence in going out with my waders (they're the boot kind). I'm still gonna be mindful of sneaker waves in the less sheltered spots, but now I won't worry about drowning if I trip over a rock in the bay or something silly like that.

question... do you only use the 1 tube per trap, and I saw the smaller orange bait holder... all you use it one of them... ? thanks Dan

just found your channel, looks great thanks

Sabroso

What about Little Neck clams?

Great video Ron. Now I’m craving crab!

Looks like you guys had a great time. We love to see this! :)

Hi!!! Just found your channel love finding fellow crabbing clamming Oregonians you got great videos

You are giving me "Pearls". As a native Oregonian i thought i knew a lot. Love your great practical insight. GO BEAVS

Great tide information, your knowledge is appreciated!

The Dick man is coming and hells coming with him.😂

Thanks Ron. Great information. I always learn something from your videos.

Love the video! Thank you much!

I'll try those ingredient in my local. Thanks

Ron, do you have any tips for us crabbers who primarily crab off the pier? I'm in newport and I've been getting beat up out there 😢

Robby is awesome! Really nice guy. Hes a wealth of information. He sell crab rings for a great deal too!Can you make a crabbing video please?

Thanks, great information.

never wear gloves while using powertools!

Good Video 😊. New Subscriber 👍. Keep the video's comin.

Thank you mate , I will give it a go on my ply canoe here in England

What kind of crab are you targeting? Will this work for blue crab?

On the conical traps I use a weightlifter's disc wt. of 3#, now I have a funnel base bottom of 10"+ when hauling, also have a puller Mr. Crabby. I use rebar on the diagonals to lift the the hoop2-3" off the ground keeping the funnel base and better scent flow/ anchor legs The re-bar keeps the hoop from walking.

Re:Crab bait look into fish oils, cod liver oil, fish oil, salmon oil for pets and my fav krill oil (no mercury). Fish pills I thread in front of my spinners for trolling the blade spreads the scent. I use krill OIL in my crab bait mix. Do some homework on all the oils. Good Luck Tony

Great build Sir

Thanks for the tip.

Great information Ron.

Raw Bacon rocks the best oil slick also Spanish sardines are oily too it's all about that oil slick it brings all the crabs to the traps

This guy has a ton of great ideas. Thanks Ron!

Ron is just like McGuyver! Pretty cool set up.

Not sure how well that Velcro will hold that during moving water but looks like a great design but i think it would work better with a locking pin system for easy use of removing and putting back on but amazing work

Good information Ron.

Hey friend! I love your videos. I've got an old school michicraft canoe I paddle out here on Long Island. Curious, which paddle do you use? It's beautiful!

Great share! Can’t wait for my coast trip

I find whenever I go looking for clams here in Nova Scotia, if I’m not having luck, I’ll often be able to find mussels on the rocks near by. Someday I wanna try diving for scallops but I’d need a recreational scallop license for that.

Interesting looking clams, I thought they were ribbed mussels at first lol. Different than the ones I’ve seen here in Nova Scotia. Love harvesting shellfish, thanks for sharing 👊

That was a great video. Thanks!

Thanks for posting! Learned a lot in this video, definitely going to tie some ants tomorrow!

Ron knows his stuff and is a legendary, award winning sportsman. Great video Ron.

I am a canoeist who fishes with flies. I primarily troll for lake Trout and happiness for me is being dragged around a lake by one of those beasts. I have three modern canoes in my garage the largest is a 15' Novacraft Bluesteel which is 45 pounds , a Swift 14' in Carbon 28 pounds and a Clipper 14' Kevlar 40 pounds. Three different Canadian manufactures but all Prospector canoes. The prospector design has rocker that gives the canoe maneuverability and while a canoe that lacks rocker will track well it will be slow to turn. You talked about the Canadian stoke in one of your videos using that type of underwater paddle recovery in a canoe with rocker you can turn the canoe just by rolling your wrists. I look forward to watching more of your videos and learning from them.

Where can we order a few of those flys.

Thanks for the overview

Wil float on just a few inches of water?? Shoot, I got an old flat bottom canoe that will float on wet grass!!

Great information. I might go out and get one!
