Heavy Traps... What's It Mean? So Many Crabs

Blue Crabs.
In this video, I'll be crabbing in West Ashley, Charleston, South Carolina using two-ring crab traps rigged with pyramid weights and baited with chicken legs. It's March 30 and the crabbing was steady all day.

I just enjoy these so much. My family genes carry the love of water. Watching you crab gives me nostalgia as well as makes me feel closer to those that passed. Thank you. Keep up the hard work.

Brian I would like to see you crab other spots around Charleston other than Wapoo Creek. The crabs seem to be small there. i would go back in September when they are bigger. I think it would be enjoyable watching you test out different spots and offering your advice to people like me who only get to crab a few times a year.

[@CarolinaOutdoorsman]

Definitely plan on exploring some other spots now that I have my truck running. 😀 Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for new locations.

[@CarolinaOutdoorsman]

Hey there, great question. There are and I do plan to start hitting some of them. This location is convenient while I was getting my truck fixed. 😀 Thanks for watching!

[@lathammarek927]

I like the style of your traps. Do you make them?

[@CarolinaOutdoorsman]

Hey there. I buy the wire mesh two ring traps and then customize it. I have a "How To" video showing how I rig it up here... kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4GqoHudg6eCe6csi=R4U5hZiNPwohPbOX Thanks for watching!

What’s the distance from bridge to water?

[@CarolinaOutdoorsman]

Great question. It's anywhere from 6' to 15' depending on the tide. Thanks for watching!

[@philipplouden5892]

@@CarolinaOutdoorsmanThanks that’s not bad. I have a spot here that is about 25ft above the water and it’s a lot to pull the line up. It’s good you’re able to pull it above those black pipes too, because that can easily knock crabs out before getting to them.

[@CarolinaOutdoorsman]

@philipplouden5892 wow, 25' is quite a pull. The pipes are good because the line slides on it nicely. Knock on wood I haven't lost any keepers bringing them in although I have lost a couple of small ones bring them over the pipes. Thanks again for watching!
