What kind of crab are you targeting? Will this work for blue crab?
@vansportingКүн бұрын
Thank you big flip I am targeting Dungeness crab and red rock crab Not sure if it will work for blue crab, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t I am currently experimenting with salmon oil used on dog food Good luck let me know how your crabbing season goes Ron.

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.

Thank you allPanache The area is a crab or relatively shallow, and I choose my weather accordingly and low moving tides This is been a formula that works extremely well for me and I don’t require the weights on my traps as you will need in deeper water and or higher currents Although I could see your helpful hints being very useful for others thanks for your comment. Let me know how your crabby season goes Ron.

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

Thanks for sharing!! Tony I’ve been experimenting with wild salmon. Oil made for dogs with good results, but haven’t perfected anything worth publishing yet I just went crabbing and crushed them. Some of the traps I could barely lift up they were so full, but I had to compare it with traps that weren’t oiled and I haven’t done that yet. Problem is when I go crabbing I want to get my crown but I want to test that will be doing testing in the next month to see. Thanks again Tony.

another trick i use is adding a flat disc wt. to the pocket at the bottom of the conical traps and outrigger hose on the diagonal legs to raise the hoop at least 2" above the ground and now you have a funnel base to the trap.

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
@vansportingАй бұрын
Thanks Adam! I have never used bacon, I usually save that for myself! 😀 Your suggestion about creating an “oil slick” is a great one. I am currently playing with different fish oils to see if that makes a difference. I’ll let you know the results in an upcoming video Thanks for watching.

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
@vansportingАй бұрын
Good question! Jaypalsha I’ve only used it in lakes and bays with decent current. Although my Basswood 17 is as slick as a mirror and has very little drag. Not sure what it would do in a river. If I test it in a river, I’ll let you know. Thanks for watching.

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.

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.

Thank you Clifford Jessup Sounds like you do a lot of canoeing as well My next few videos will be on Cokenee, fishing bass fishing, and a special on clamming work and you can be devastating when others can’t get clams. It’s pretty cool. Look forward to hearing from you again

Thank you 650Gringo for your comment and you’re right flat bottoms have the shallowest draft of all they just don’t have much if any secondary stability If you know what you’re doing, flat bottoms, can be a joy not recommended for the beginner I hope you enjoy the fishing segments coming your way some pretty cool stuff.
