Back when I was a prawn fisherman we found that we needed to run our gear twice a day..Once in the morning and once in the evening otherwise we had them escaping through the web..They get out tail first..back out through the mesh!!

[@Skipper_al]

If the biomass is big enough you definitely do lose prawns after not too long! Thanks for watching 🏴‍☠️🦅

[@motodad525]

@@Skipper_al ..There is study done from a university in alaska back in I think late 70s...they had spot prawns in a big tank and they put a baited trap inside the tank..Some prawns found the tunnel some went through the web to get in..Then they put the prawns inside the trap and the bait on the outside and almost all went through the web..couldn't fine the tunnel hole....They go through tail first and stretch out..back right out!!..If I can find the study I will send it to you..I read it in like 1985 when I was fishing Southeast Alaska!

[@Skipper_al]

@ interesting, I wonder what the mesh size was back then 🧐

[@caskillet]

I stopped there late one night, probably midnight or so, and a guy was living in one of those shacks. Came down by lantern light with his dog to help me tie up and bs'd with me for a bit, then shook me down for a "moorage fee." I paid him a little, he looked like he was in need of the $20 more than I was at the time. 2015, I think.

[@Skipper_al]

@@caskillet yeah I have heard from other people that you are supposed to email someone before you go there but that was news to me. Apparently the land owners want to develop it. I could see it as when I was there there must have been 7 rich American yachts that stopped in each day. Thanks for watching!! 🦅🏴‍☠️

[@RaoulDukeSr]

Just taking a harbor day as its blowing a brutal south easter last night into this morning, then heading through Seymour narrows tomorrow to finish our commercial trolling days for chum salmon. Great video to watch, you've got a new fan and subscriber...easily 👍 Take care brother all the very best !!

[@Skipper_al]

@@RaoulDukeSr hey that’s fantastic I drove by you guys last week on my crab boat! I saw the alpine star, ocean derby, Tatum, and many more! Which boat are you on? Thank you so much for watching and stay safe out there!! 🦅🦅🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

@Skipp

[@christopherwood4982]

Need to see the 2 day soak

[@Skipper_al]

@@christopherwood4982 a lot of the time a 2 day soak can be worse because the prawns can actually escape from the traps. Not all the time but if the density is large enough they will eat the bait/ get bored and start to leave. 😂 thanks for watching!!! 🏴‍☠️🦅

[@Skinz1975]

Nice Video! Do you work bare foot? Looks like you got a pair of flip flops on.

[@Skipper_al]

No actually I usually wear boats 😂 I actually hurt my foot and it really hurt to put a boot on. Plus the cold water helped to ice my foot 👍👍 thanks for watching!!🏴‍☠️🦅

[@joelcr250]

Cumsack creek !

[@edwardmears5077]

Use tnt works great fishing 😅

[@Skipper_al]

@@edwardmears5077 that’s actually what we use for bait!!

[@dancingrick9627]

How do you decide which prawns to keep, and which to toss back in?

[@Skipper_al]

@@dancingrick9627 there is a measurement from the back of the eye socket to the back of the caripace (head) which is 33mm. If that distance is less then 33mm than it is too small. We have a set of callipers on the boat for measuring but you get an eye for it so you can end up sorting quickly. Also any prawn with eggs we through back so that it can spawn! Thanks for watching! 🏴‍☠️🦅🏴‍☠️

[@pqtpat7734]

Any of yall post instagram stories?

[@Skipper_al]

@@pqtpat7734 yes sir, check out my Instagram @Skipper_Al thanks for watching!! 🦅🦅🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

[@AT-cn2gu]

Do you sell the Octopus? or what happens to it

[@Skipper_al]

@@AT-cn2gu yes, the octopus is bagged and frozen immediately. We sell it out of our store in Victoria to all the local restaurants!! Thanks for watching! 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🦅🦅
