Finally SELLING CRABS out of my sinking boat

I tried crabbing on the World's smallest boat, check it out here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHyrgWClo5yIjbs

Man you gotta put a "small"stack of old crab pots on the roof of the crab stand to make it more authentic. So So glad it was a success this weekend..

Great idea bud!

[@floridastatepickers6948]

paint some blue crabs on your boat and give them name of people that help you get to this point, that feeling to start something new and it yours is a priceless feeling

[@heavensector5964]

@@floridastatepickers6948 Painting them on the boat-stand would be cool! Can't go on the actual vessel though as that paint from the old 5 gallon gets tossed back on too often. It's gross looking but it looks like it gives a good buzz!

New opportunities on the horizon in Italy. The blue crab has become invasive over there and thy are struggling to find ways to harvest and distribute. I see a Bodkin Point francize in the future over in Italy teaching them how to crab and setting up a wee fleet to export.

Awsome job, young man and crew . I run trot lines 2400 + and yes their are some commercial crabbers that are jerks that will screw with your stuff or act like they own the water . Good luck this year, and I hope your pots are full 😊

[@Mike-tc8ob]

Hell, learning to boat in the Chesapeake Bay as a kid made for the safest boaters in the world because all we ever did was solemn through crab buoys all day. Spend one afternoon in murky water with a pair of wire snips trying to unwrap a crab trap full of live crabs from your propeller and you will become extremely aware of your surrounds from there on.

[@pbrice1215]

Now you have the money guys running right through every line. Drunk sailboaters dragging hawks/bottom lines for miles. The Chesapeake has changed.

[@n40tom]

I boated on the Chesapeake for over 30 years the entire 200 miles of it and most all of the major tributaries . Thousands of hours power boating through all kinds of crab pots and not once did I ever pick one up in my wheels . Most times I had a boat with two props . I would imagine some of that was luck but more than luck was being cautious and aware of your surroundings. Take care and be safe

[@justindeaton7301]

Our old boat, the one in my profile picture, wouldn’t pick up a crab pot no matter how hard you tried. Not sure if it was the step hull or what. You could center punch crab pot after crab pot while on plane and the buoy would just roll off the side and pop up behind us unscathed.

[@bobcat1933]

I had to believe the first pot would have a crab. All that work you put into the boat for your crab stand God surely was watching. And how you documented it and your attitude throughout the process had to have caught His eye and blessing.

It’s crazy the catching disparity between there & the pacific coast. I’m from Oregon & id throw 3-4 baskets out & they’ll be completely full in couple hours with giant Dungeness crabs… insane how much difference & scarce it is there

[@VinceBo]

I’m from Louisiana and down here we love to eat soft shell crabs. My uncle is a crabber/shrimper and he will save crabs that are about to shed, and once they shed he sells them to the restaurants for a premium since people like soft shell crabs so much down here. I was just wondering if soft shell crabs are a big commodity up there as well?

[@jeremybrinlee1965]

Oh yeah. Anything to do with crabs is big around here. (Chesapeake) You can see signs selling "soft crabs" all summer long. Gimme a lightly breaded, fried, whole soft crab, between two pieces of bread and a cold beer and I'm good. 🍺

[@ChildofYHVH]

My cousin had a 35’ boat with skimmers and we used to shrimp the marsh here in south Louisiana. The shrimp run better at night so we would shrimp all night. Something special about being on the water when the sun comes up and everything is calm. I throughly enjoyed doing that type of work. We also caught a bunch of crabs as well in the nets.
