I met captain bruce from you dockside chats this year, he is making autodipper now, just put an order in for one and a winder. Ive listened to those dockside chats and this autodipper vs propstick comparison about 10 times each! Great information!

Hey Capt. is your dipper mounted in a rod holder? I really enjoy the videos.

[@towerh6680]

Hey how did you mount that larger piece of PVC for the roller? Looks like 4 screws right into the smaller PVC? Would think that would wobble out but that's what ya did? Thanks

I’m looking for a good crabbing net I was using my fishing net for hand lining crabs but it’s a hassle any advice ?

Great video. I also use a stainless steel ramp from Bruce, I was looking at your auto dipper the round tube that is directly below the ramp is that stainless?also where mine is conveyor belt material I was thinking about doing away with the belt and add a tube just to try smooth out the flop of the clam bags a little. What you think? Thanks

[@mikebarry3491]

Mumbo Meister yeah let me know. Thanks

Hey Mumbo Meister! I’m the female crabber (new Subscriber) you spoke with on one of your other vids:.. Do you offer any kind of In-Person Crabbing Consultation 😂 where I could perhaps pay you to look over my boat and/ or help me with the prop stick setup… I’m just a little nervous about how exactly to affix the prop stick to the boat without damaging the boat, and making sure it’s reinforced enough so the pvc won’t break…. I’m also not sure what kind of motor to get to make sure it’s long enough for me to comfortably steer with one hand while netting with the other….. just have some basic questions and I don’t want to mess up and could use some guidance if you offer it…. And I’d like to know what boat and motor combo would be best before I go get it if possible… I was thinking just a 12-foot Jon Boat with a trolling motor so I don’t t have to worry about gas… I’m in Baltimore but would be willing to travel to you once I secure my jon boat…. Or if not, perhaps I could just correspond with you if you’re willing and/or able… Thanks for the great videos
