I second that.

Great video. Brings back some memories - when I was 8, my family and I lived on a boat for 2 years or so, some of that time in the Bay. I had a small berth and an old crate to hold my belongings. That was it. I'd lay there at night listening to the water against the hull just like you were describing those ice sounds. I'm sure I'm forgetting some miserable cold nights but those were some of the best times.

“If you don’t spill gas all the way down your generator, are you really even using a generator”. This is so true. LOL.

Always glad to see a guy so thankful for what he has. To re phrase an old Japanese proverb, "A man can spend his entire life searching for the perfect crab, and it would not be a life spent in vain."

I think I heard this in the Last Samurai and they substituted a cherry blossom.

Brings back memories of when I used to live on a 28' boat for half a decade. It was pretty interesting for the most part and if I ever had to, I'd do it again. Little limited as far as amenities went for a while but it was pretty decent living. On really windy nights, I would get tossed around in the bow and listen to the ropes straining Miss ya, Dulcinea.

A young fellow who knows what he has to do, does it, despite the troubles, and does it in stride. Not many like him anymore. I can say I’m very proud of this young man and any others like him. Kudos Luke. Keep up your integrity and harm work. Good things come to good people.

Rebuild the boat as content. The content pays for the boat upgrades. Great winter indoor project space available.

LOL 😂 “ I have the essentials, a torch and a hammer” as a mechanic that is hilarious 😂😂

I'm glad I caught one of you shorts about 4 months ago, this channel gives me the feeling of " it's gonna be alright" the way you make things work that should NEVER work is amazing, keep posting and god bless

Luke, crabbing and freezing aside, you indeed are very blessed to do what you do and have the support of a wonderful woman. In this day and age of such crazy antics in relationships, it is clear what a great couple you guys make. I'm going on 38 years my friend, and I wish you all the best!

What a great young man. So nice to hear how much he loves and appreciates his bride ❤️🇺🇸

I love this kid .He gives the next generation hope. Thank you . I m proud of him.For being a good husband and a good Man .

Keep living the dream my young friend, you will look back in 20 years and smile an say I am one lucky man.

Glad you made it! Going to be 73 here today!!! Crazy how much can change in a few days! Have a great weekend!

"...or they are quiet and don't run at all" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Clever idea for content in the off-season

When I was young and dumb like you Luke, My dad used to call me a whipper snapper. You don't let fear attack you... you attack fear. You are a unique cat. You don't find guys today your age that pack a set of nards and aren't afraid to take on the unknown. You'll go far. Anchors away dude!

You should order up some Chinese diesel heaters. They're $100 bucks and you can tap them into the boats diesel tanks and customize the location. They're only 12v to power the fans inside them and you can run them on a trickle charged battery.

Luke, if everyone had your attitude, work ethic, humor and a hundred other positive character descriptives too long to list, this world would be a far better place.

Respect bro,a boat is like a relationship you have to make compromises and take care of what needs to be done.

I think how this weebo does during this winter should answer your question.

Had a houseboat for about 11 years. When i bought it it wasn't ever pulled from the Monongahela river in years and i stayed overnight in it the first winter! Cold ASF! But after seeing what that boat endured from the spring floods i pulled it for the winter after the first and dry stacked it. Peace of mind! Love this guys channel.. 💯🔥

The boat has to be ready because...the crabs never sleep...IDK maybe they do but this is why MD is called America in miniature, From the temperate rainforest to the blistering cold, we got it all! Wish I was there man, reminds me of the winter dad drove us out onto the Severn in the old VW Beattle. 2' of ice and we drove across to Herlad harbor and up the boat ramp.

Can you film a duck hunt???

Thank you so much for posting this video! It is awesome how you prepared your boat to spend the night on watch for ice!

Best KZread channel out there! Keep up the videos, cant wait to watch them!! Your story and Character is inspiring!

Entertaining. Showing some true grit. I could feel the cold just by watching. Thx for sharing. Watching from Ontario Canada 🎉

The woman is a saint! And no way she's ever throwing him out!

Very good video, Luke. You are a true captain. And.your gratitude is infectious. Thanks for taking us along.

Luke thanks for the encouragement in sharing a bit of your life story. You make me laugh, I appreciate the honesty, hardware, and humor!! Thank You

Luke, you have an excellent outlook on life! You are wise waaay behind your years!

Being thankful and realizing what you have is awesome

Greetings from Alaska. Just started checking out your YT content. Great job and good job on keeping the boats afloat. I admire the ambition and work ethic. Nice to see someone else who started in their teens too snd just keep sending it. I don’t do the commercial fishing thing but can relate. I run a construction company and have rentals and such. Never fails the worse the weather the busier I am either taking care of my own places or doing damage control on my clients homes. It was -10 here this week and I was shoveling my roofs to keep them from ice damming and or collapsing. Sometimes you just got to embrace the suck and keep going. Cheers to 2024

Been there done that. You will do anything to keep your boat afloat.

Luke, the cheap Chinese diesel heaters can be had for around $80 each. They could be plumbed to your diesel tank, exhaust is easy, and they are 12v DC. You could put it in the bilge and set the thermostat to 32 or so and problem solved. As a bonus, you could also heat the cabin and wheelhouse using the remote control and some additional dryer hose venting. Have fun... Joe

I love it! Always wanted to sleep on a boat during winter. You guys are well suited.

You explain everything so clearly! Love all your videos Luke! ❤

Definitely need steady long form videos from Luke. Love it man. Keep em coming

oh Luke you make me smile........ enjoy.....

Definitely turn the Webo into a full on crab boat.

Something you might think about, some type of portable solar generator, add a 12 volt electric blanket.

Thanks for sharing! Chilly for dang sure! 😮

Thank you for sharing. Perfect.

A de icer that hangs under the dock will keep that area cleared nicely. I dont have to use it often at my dock but its cool to have a clear spot to fish in. Great channel thank you!!

Yup, feeling' ya. That night when we had the big tide, I spent the night in our house in Cambridge with no heat. The HVAC blew up two days before. Glad we have a wood stove but still. 40F in the bedroom was no fun!

Luke your wife truly love you. I took my wife up to the Sassafras in Oct of 2020 during Covid for a end of the season trip.( spent a lot of time on the boat during covid) It got down into the 40's both nights and she was ready to go home and my boat has a reverse heater. I just gave you a follow. Great video.🙃🙃🙃

I think the Webo is a fine vessel. Would love to see more of her

Luke, you are a king. Work ethic like none other. Keep your eye out for a nice, big & old Coleman thermos for your next winter boat campout. Fill it with black coffee and mix in some cocoa mix. MUCH better than a cold soda!!

Dude, i love your videos. I dont know crap about crabbing, nor did I have any interest in it before, but watching what you're doing lets me purge the stress of my 9-5 corporate job. Thanks dude! I wish you all success.

Luke dealing with the hurricanes here in Florida, on my farm running around, like a hamster in a wheel securing everything as it approaches, and wondering, hurricanes or freezing, cold weather Hmmmmmm Both are not good, but this is what we do when we work in Nature

Yes i hear ya Luke about being thankful. This coming June my wife and i are celebrating 40 years together, and i am so thankful to have her. And believe me she has put up with some antics from me lol. Thanks for the video man.

I feel one day Luke will get a new boat ...just positive and teachable things he post and his positive attitude towards everything...and yes HARD WORK 💯

Luke, keep it kid. Love your spirit. And yes the WD video is a great documentary.

With good wishes and luck, you won't have to boat camp again this year. But if you do, a large sheet of cardboard over the he hatchway will help keep the heat nearer to you. But stretching a tarp over the cover and tying it off to the gunnals and stern will provide a little extra space. However, if you're really adventurous and risk taking. A camp propane tent heater is your friend. Just make sure you have extra one pound propane bottles or a connection hose to hook it to a standard gas grill bottle.

Man you’re awesome I truly appreciate your video and your view on life congratulations on your marriage! I play all over the the east coast and in Maryland you inspire me brother keep making great videos! Subscribed!

I want to say that you're an awesome young man and one hell of a crab fisherman. Keep on doing what you do best. Loving your career will always make bumps in the road that much easier to take. Can't wait to drive down this summer and get some crab.

Y’all got a Mal. Amazing dogs.. Stay warm!!!

This is actually a great video Luke!!! Need more like them!!!

it looked like hell til you threw those lights up and no joke it did look mad cozy

Well done. Refreshing!

rocking the re-useable Lululemon bag! I love it!

The Webo was the clickbait that let me discover your channel. The Webo can accept all the potential love that it can get.

I would consider installing a couple diesel heaters. A fairly lowcost way of heating up both the engine bay and underhatch areas and the pilot house and cabin. Might also come in handy if you go for a winter season catch. They are pretty easy on 12V power and fuel also put out way more heat then a space heater. I live off grid in Arizona and use one for heating myself. As someone that has had boats I am reminded of the old saying " a boat is a big hole in the water you throw money into'"! Good for you if you can figure out how to pull that money and more back out of the water! Living independently and making your own living is an awesum thing!

I love how in some parts of the country 60 degrees is “not bad” when I’m literally in my cabin looking at the temp on the wall show 54 and giggle a little. Norms for people just a state over could be drastic. Just a funny observation. Love your content!

Love everything about this ❤️

You’re so alive, Luke. It’s really inspiring.

I'd love to see the Weebo modification!

I think I'd be figuring out how to get some of those ice eaters in the water before I'd be sleeping in the boat... but kudos to you sir - nice job keeping those boats safe!

Keep the webo!!!!!

I feel ya here Luke, I'm a state south in my camper all lines froze even with heat. It was a cold couple of nights.

As far as the question you asked.... what did you buy the Webo for if not to crab with it? What are you doing with the Southern Girl?

If you get a extended run tank for that generator which is six gallons that will give you 60 hours of run time. Thats the setup i use with a Black& Decker 8000btu heat and ac unit in my semi truck. Works great and cheap.

I grew up in the DelMarVa area and remember thinking 17° was cold, until we moved to Wisconsin and lived through my first -25° winter. We call that shorts weather!!

@@timgotta1 Wrong, It happens every couple of years. Not every year, but for sure it does happen enough to remember.

add a canopy to the back and cover it in solar panels and maybe a wind turbine. build a few battery cells and mount all the components. that boat can handle a system large enough to keep you fully powered a long time. maybe indefinitely. it will keep the heaters running in winter, and a perfect sized A/C for summer

Congratulations on the sponsorship!!

I absolutely love your content I stumbled across your channel by accident however I am more than impressed.its so rare to see a young man with the guts and grit to do what you do this Texan tips his hat to you .please keep up the excellent work .keep the webo and do a video series on the outfitting for a crab rig please please please we see all kinds of videos where people go for broke on them however the common man approach would be a breath of fresh air .

I have no idea what you are going to do in life but more power to you, and I think you have the right attitude to succeed.

Hats off to you.

Next upgrade, color changing LED strip lights for the cabin that pulse with the music. All the crabbers are doing it now.

I just love hurricane season, and been on the boat in a hurricane
