    If I worked for you, I would be qualified in pot prep. You are a good teacher. I was an instructor in the Coast Guard. You information was clear and you explained why you performed an action. Should I wave my hand to make it come closer? I wouldn’t spill my beer 😂😂👊👍

    awesome video!!!! Im a commercial crabber in Delaware and have been asked about the workings of a commercial pot multiple times. this will be a hit on CZcams as anyone can mimick the pot construction for personal use also.

    Well, I can officially say I've learned a few new things today. I like how you explain what you are doing and why you are doing it. You would make a great instructor. I doubt I'll ever be able to use this information as I live in Colorado, but hey, you never know right? Love the vids brother, stay safe out there.

    I live in St.Marys county,on St. Clements Bay.

    Could you share where you get your screening materials?
    You are a good motivator ,I love the Chesapeake 👍🤓
    My grandfather taught me so much in the 60s and 70s!
    Thanks for intelligent understandable videos!
    Everything you say is right on point from what I learned in the past 45 yrs thanks to my ancestors.....
    Just was never physically motivated enough to do the waterman thing for a living...

    Got a couple commercial size pots that just bought and I need to put rebar and zincs in them as well as Turtle Excluders. Your video was top notch and helped tremendously. Quick question though. Why do recreational crabbers need the turtle device whereas commercial guys don’t? Is it because in theory, commercial guys pull their pots more frequently thereby releasing any turtles that may be trapped?

    Bad electrolysis in your engine bay can destroy a lot of stuff too. I had a friend years ago that used to get buzzed electrically sitting on his seats. He has an aluminum boat that was all eaten up. it was insane

      He has another video out there where he's taking two truck and a trailer to go to the pot maker's place an hour away... It seemed like he said a blank pot was $38, rebar frame $5-$6 each and he was picking up several hundred.

      @edgundlach2811 Před rokem

      I believe he said to let fish and undersized crab a way out.😮
      He mentioned it quickly and showed a close up just as quick.
      He cut holes inside the rings to let them out. I don't know if the rings are by law to quickly identify the holes for the fish wardens. ( having a brain fart, can't think of the actually titles for them.) Or to keep the fisherman from being cut or snagged on the hole.

  • @brianshields7137
    @brianshields7137 Před rokem

    Try using aluminium anodes there basicly the same sacrificial value is .001% diferance to zink at a huge cost savings the only time you must use zinc is on an aluminium boat and outboard motors and stern drives , dont add to any anodes or the trap will become the anode ive seen it tomany times in my 45 years at sea

    All joking aside, have had crabbers as customers and always thought pots were just thrown together. So wrong, thanks for the extra learning you gave me this morning.
