    Alabama Shrimper here! Thanks for the plug! I wish you weren't across the country, I'd give you the heads for free. I was the one last week asking you about the smallest egg bearing crab you've ever seen. I sent you the video I took via Instagram.

      Not being a cranberry, I always wonder what does the trap boiler do for the trap? Is it a preventive measure of some kind?

      @@Captain_Brian I just watched Luke's video and he talked about how dirty the pots get leaving them down for an over extended time. Amazing how quickly the traps can be soiled.

    Why do the pots get thrown in the hot water after they get baited?

      Just the method they use. It really doesn’t matter but the best way would be to bait afterwards

    Dumb Question - Why boil the pots? (My family and I fish and crab for fun, Indian River Bay DE and the ocean on good days.) Does the hot water help with the catch? Thanks for the great content!

    What's up brother from another mother, your looking good out there,you got a dream crew my friend. This is a well seasoned crew hard at work. I'm going to be coming up that way soon to get some of them mammoth soft crabs. Your crew is so fluent it makes me almost miss those days , I'm growing huge bucks nowadays and getting ready to start picking corn ..

  • @Bill-ks6ys
    @Bill-ks6ys Před rokem

    Why do you bait before cooking the pots? Wouldn’t that start cooking the bait and washing the oils away? Just wondering because I’m just a recreational crabber using necks necks on a string.

      @dallasblair Před rokem

      Lol...... that's a good question. Have you looked at map of salt water bodies of water in your area? On the west coast blue crab is the cheapest. Dungeness crab and king crab will cost yeah but for 26$ a year you can go get 15 Dungeness a day wich apear to be much bigger and the best tasting crab you've ever had. As far as I know crabs don't like Minnesota salt water.. too little salt. 😂

    Why does he break the fish and why don't ya put the fish in the pot at the same time ya are setting them in the water? Just asking I'm no fishermen or SEAmen.

    • @El_Diablo_LI
      @El_Diablo_LI Před rokem

      He's breaking or bending those fish so they'll fit inside the bait section of the trap.
      If he didn't do that they wouldn't fit inside that little bait section.
