Using crab and lobster pots from a small boat is great fun and can bring great rewards. Here is how I use them from my small boat. Link in the comments for how to build a crab and lobster trap.

Nice catch! that crab looked delicious and in fact, I'm kinda jealous. With the current standing of the world right now I honestly haven't had a good meal as of late, its been instant ramen and frozen pizza recently. I hope everyone is staying safe and staying healthy its hard times we're going through but I'm glad I'm apart of this awesome community! Thanks for adding light to my day! Can't wait for Wisconsin's national bird to come back... Mosquitos. lol. but seriously thanks for the fun and interesting videos. Catch ya at the local fleet farm!

Hi Shippers, really interesting video. I know you have touched on splicing in previous video but might be an idea during lockdown to do a series showing how to do them (short, eye and back). Trouble being once you know, you can never just walk past a piece of frayed rope again. Keep the family safe, happy steaming.

Another great vid. I noticed how clean all the crabs were, must be perfect conditions down there for them. A lot of the crabs landed up here in the North East are almost black on the underside, but I think a lot of that's down to dumping waste from the coal mines out at sea, it did a tremendous amount of damage that we're still paying the price for. Fingers crossed you and the boy are back out for summer.
@TheFishLocker4 жыл бұрын
- Sadly William the dumping of things out at sea still goes on far too much. Out of sight out of mind most folks feel. We are very fortunate that the waters are so good down here. Long may it stay that way. ;)

John! New subscriber here and really enjoying your content. A little tip I use for leaving your clams and shellfish to purge, is to put a bit of cornmeal in with them and they'll spit sand out and eat it right up! Thus speeding up how fast they'll purge sand and grit! Keep up the good work and stay safe!

Have you considered having a prominent dan buoy sort of marker on the float for better visibility for other boats. To avoid picking up your line in their prop.
@TheFishLocker4 жыл бұрын
- I have but to be fair its a bit overkill where I've been putting them. Boats aren't in that tight to the rocks unless its daylight and if they don't see the big white can then they wont see much. But I get your point.

Got my collapsible pots all protection roped last week. Along with required escape hatches. Do you not need them fitted on yours down your way? Also, maybe it's time to invest in some 'V' notch pliers? As no doubt you'll be coming across even more berried hens with all them extra pots you'll be using....? I'm having to use braided para type cord on my pots too. Any tips regarding good secure knots for them, since I can't splice that stuff?
@TheFishLocker4 жыл бұрын
Chris Davison - Bowlines are the best knots to tie and to be able to untie. You need to be careful what you say and do about V notches as some guys can get a bit funny about it. So just keep it to yourself. 😉👍🏻🦞
