Hi Reggie! You're one of my longest subscribers. Lets just say I sure hope the next few years go much better than the last few. ;) I'm planning to post at least once a week and already working on next Fridays post. Question for you, my daughter says she'd just as soon watch the raw underwater footage. Think other subscribers/viewers might enjoy just watching what happens underwater? Hope you're doing well!

BAD types of traps!! They all got out! They need to co.e straight up and not on an angle too

@juliemanarin4127 Thanks for the comment. Seeing what is actually happening to the pots on retreival was eye opening. I couldn't believed one physically tipped over, then drug along the bottom until it was under the boat. I think I may try running lines that are shorter so when I retreive them it will be a more direct upward pull and less of the side pull and see what happens.

Glad to see you posting again! How is the Stabi holding up after a couple years? I’ll finally be pulling the trigger on a 1550 this coming winter.

@chasebrown5532 Thank you! The Stabi is a tank! Other than weathering it really doesn't show any wear. May have the rear enclosure rebuilt in a year or so, and a bunch of the snaps for the eclousre have failed, other than that it just keeps going. And I'm still loving it. Someday I may upgrade to one of the larger models but for now, with just me going it, it's more than enough.

@@StabicraftontheSound Let me know if you'd like a hand with that! I sew outdoor equipment (waders, tents, kill bags, etc). I have all of the equipment to install KAM snaps, but alternatively I would suggest looking into something called Keder Awning rope/track from Sailrite. KAM snaps are not technically marine grade, Awning rope/track is the marine grade solution for KAM snaps. I would be happy to do it at cost (ie. you pay for material) in exchange for some time on the water on a stabi. This will be my first aluminum boat purchase and I am nervous to jump in without spending any time on the water first.

Seems like looping them to a cleat before pulling them really upsets everything. Could have crab escape (as you experienced) or get the pots tangled. My preference, which comes from shrimping, is to start pulling in as smoothly and continuously as possible once I touch the float.

@solarshooter Thanks for the comment. Something upset them, thats for certain, seeing was believing. I think I'm giong to try carrying multiple length lines and not have as much slack in them. Less slack so less angle when they're pulled. I couldn't believe the one pot actually turned itslef completely over then drug along the bottom.

Thank you for showing us how this boat handles in the Puget sound. I am a bit further South of you, but have been visiting Boat Country to check out the Stabis for a couple months now. I’ve been saving relentlessly to make it happen, but still another year out before pulling the trigger. Do you have any experience with a 1550 or 1850 on the Sound? I’m curious if they are just as confidence inspiring as your 2050 or if I will feel confined to the calmer days.

37 knot wind would sink any normal fishing boat on Lake Erie on the eastern basin. I know the camera doesn’t do waves respectable as to their size. I saw 37 knots and was looking for 10 fters. This boat looks like it ran pretty good in that water. Stayed nice and level front to back. Lake Erie is just a freak of nature. Over 2000 shipwrecks in that lake. Mostly due to wind and huge waves.

I didn't price out the old trap before I filmed that one. I did notice just yesterday that the $20 trap is now $28 at WalMart! That kind of inflation on the older trap would put it around $180 after tax in todays dollars. Insane increases in only a few years.

what type of crab is that? also what's the best depth and tine of year for crabbing? we crabbed with a Bass Pro pot and didnt catch anything but that was one time. we used chicken necks, chicken livers and old fish. we pulled ours every 2 hrs and got nothing. That was Winyah Bay SC.
