Ask Leroy! Episode 6: How a Lobster Trap Works

[@vonmclaughlin4555]

Thanks for showing me how to make lobster traps

[@jstan6426]

Yes and it’s the law to have runners too! Do to lobster claws sticking down through the bottom of the trap the runners keep the trap high enough so their claws don’t get damaged. Good video !

I am one of the many who grew up in Maine and now I've moved away for work. Hoping to come back one day if I can convince my warm weather wife;) . These have been an unusual time the last few months and, well, these videos have brought me so much joy and happiness. I grew up up in the county but also spent plenty of time down the coast. Leroy you remind me so much so many good folks who set a good example for me growing up. Thanks for doing these Thanks for sharing a little bit about the best part of the world the rest of the world. Thanks for the good Mainer humor and for just saying things as they are.

Thanks so much for tuning in and watching Benjamin! We're glad we can share a bit of coastal Maine with friends near and far.

I feel the same as you. Moved away for work 25 plus years ago and am hoping to go back again some day. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Good afternoon!! How are you? Where can I buy this screen and the tools to make this cage?

[@lindaduvall6685]

I find these sessions very interesting and sometimes entertaining! Thank you very much for presenting these !

[@simonwright4883]

Very interesting. The thing that struck me was how much bigger these traps are than the ones that I'm used to seeing in Ireland and the UK

[@vonmclaughlin4555]

A learning experience skill

[@lesliefleming4359]

Things have come along way Leroy. We used to make our pots out of oak slats. Heavy as heck. If we rarly lost Pots somebody will cut our bouyes off

[@westsolon7480]

Leroy, do you miss the oak lathe traps? Which fished better, 4 ft oak or today's wire traps?

[@Casseau]

Thank you!

[@betobeitia637]

Gracias, de gran ayuda.

[@pontoonfun7620]

nice video im learning im starting off already put 30 traps in and only got 3 lobsters i think fishermen pulling my traps so i put wire ties on them will see

[@emanuelsorello6189]

Where can I get rubber costed wire? Can the trap be made with the wire without a framework ? Do you have a fish trap also?

[@mEsSINwiTDaHoOK]

If you don't have a lobster license and get caught fishing lobster, you're going to get a very substantial fine.

[@edgardotunon7017]
