I've spent the past couple of weeks building a soft shell crab shedding tank out of junk from around the marina. This is the week I'm going to test out the system to see if it works! Hopefully the boat everything is built on doesn't sink. We had a great week catching soft shell blue crabs, hopefully the next couple of weeks we can catch a more hard shell blue crabs also.

Dude, Mike Rowe needs to do a documentary on you and how hard you work as a Commercial Fisherman. Your statement about "Too dumb to quit" is a testimony to your commitment to your industry. I so wish I lived closer, Because you would see me every week you had crabs for sale. Keep up the good work my friend. And the store front looks AMAZING, You knocked your stand out of the park.

[@Johnalive3969]

Luke always promoting everybody else in the area from the biggest guy to the smallest guy even his competitors. He is the reason America works I want to be in business with you

Luke holds his camera and he’s so confident and flowing with dialogue. Someone else holds the camera and he clams up.

I agree

[@richgwozdz8580]

@@fvsoutherngirl I just picked up a new crab trap and I can’t figure out how It’s supposed to be rigged because it’s not the same style as I normally used to use lol it’s way bigger and fancier and it’s got them turtle blockers on it unlike my other ones do

If you're not familiar with Brad and his "It's Alive" series you need to check him out. He's my favorite person on the old Bon Appetit test kitchen staff.

[@riverakers]

I had four crab shedders at my home on the James River for years.I worked a full time job and ran peeler pots in the afternoon. My Dad was retired at the time and he would monitor the shedders while I was at work.I worked them at night.To minimize loss to becoming paper-shells I had to work them every 2 hours throughout the night.So yes,you have to be close to minimize loss.

There's a special paint for your exhaust wrap that will keep you from getting fiberglass splinters! Also, it's easier to wrap tight if you soak it in water first but yours looks great!

back in the late 70s I remodeled A&P stores, spent years around Baltimore area, there was a shit load of stores in the area, every fri when I was headed home 3 dozen soft shells came with me probably couldn't afford them nowadays

[@enjoylife7030]

Having too many softcrabs should never be a problem in Maryland. The problem is usually getting the word out of where to buy good softcrabs. Over the years my family have had a hard time finding who has them readily available so I would say distribution is key and you are doing a great job with your marketing and distribution. The only bad part for us is that you are now about 45 minutes away without the bridge. Great video, coming down soon to get some crabs!!

great drinking game... take a drink every time Luke gives the crab stand address.

[@MrJamesw1958]

Watching your videos brings back memories. When I was a kid in the 60s I lived in southern Maryland and we would fish for blue crab right from the dock. I remember when I was about 9 years old going to the crab house and getting a tray of crabs. I was wanted to make it back for a vacation, but never worked out. Now getting ready for my third spine fusion. What company would you recommend for shipping cooked crabs to michigan. It's amazing how much they cost these days. Keep up the great videos, your a hard working guy.

[@robertkouns3078]

I grew up in GB. We used to launch outta Sandy Point and crab the Severn across from the Naval Academy. Ran 1500 feet of trot line at the time, remember my dad would have us bait the lines til our fingers were raw from the chicken neck bones. It was the early 90s and we sold bushels of large males for $35. Miss it out there!

[@espensaue9894]

If you put a ruffer sourface in the shed tank, I think more of them would survive the shedding. On the sea(?)bed they have more resistance when crawling out of their old shell and stuff to snagg their old shell on to

[@02TACO2]

19:35 I used to do some charter fishing with my old man and we always booked with Capt. Jeff Ruth who also captained a boat called the Ellen R. He's on the eastern shore though out of Kent Island. Funny to hear there's more than one Ellen R out there on the Chesapeake

I have a live fish & seafood business & you could make ALOT more money if diversify by buying up the crab in your area & run trucks to the Asian grocery stores from Richmond to northern Virginia. Promise you'll make 100 grand a year just on blue crab. I would sell them all the fresh fish also. Add shrimp to your crab shack! Good luck, love your channel
