Thank you. Building it was satisfying.

Mmmmm, crab! Boatless, but with waders, and minus tide, we crabbed Dungeness Bay by walking around, lightly stepping on the crab, then reaching down into the cold water to pick it up, then throwing it over our shoulder if not a keeper. Keepers went into the floating bucket. Learned that day that cooked horse clams make great chewing gum!🤪

Nice pot mods. 👍

They seem to work, but I'll have to send a camera down to be sure. I'd like to know if current holds the upstream doors open, although we try to set them at slack tide.

I noticed too on those Danielson pots the stakes are too long and stick in a sandy bottom blocking the entrance for the bigger crabs. Underwater photos are very interesting.

That was a fun video, you the first person I've seen to properly cook crab, the yellow guts are crab butter, best to shake it out, that leaves enough for nice flavor, i have been told too much will cause tummy trouble. If i had to use 2nd run bait maybe give it a couple hits with boncke to put more scent into water. cheers

Nice. When we were crabbing this area we had to protect our pots from grabby other folks. At one point we even had to use our freon horn to chase them off. Best to keep your pots fairly close together and stay near your sets.

We have lost only one pot, a new one, and that on Tillamook Bay at Garibaldi last year. We dropped two between the crabbing dock and the coast guard hangar before heading to the Ghost Hole to fish. Later, we headed west to the Jaws and noticed two other floats near ours. When we came back in, one of the four, not ours, was many yards west of the set of four, and only one of ours remained. I figured the other guy thought someone had taken one of his, having not looked around to see where his might have drifted to on the rising tide, and figured to grab one of ours to make up for his loss. Our floats are clearly marked with name and required numbers. It was a goddam thief, not an honest mistake.

I do like your videos work or fishing or crabbing all good keep it up!!!!!!!!!!

You'll like it, Jason. It can be frustrating in the beginning, fine tuning everything. You can get a lot of information on the Woodland Mills Facebook page, but, when you're new at this, it's hard to separate information from BS. Best source for problem solving is Customer Service.

great video! what you need is an automatic catch latch for your trailer, you just drive the boat onto the trailer, it catches the bow eye, and that's it, great for solo launching as well! no need to wade in the water, and use the ratchet to reel the boat in, did that for the longest time, and got tired of getting my feet wet, installed one for my 26 footer, and I haven't looked back! greetings from southern British Columbia, I do a lot of crabbing here as well!

I've seen those, but that wouldn't work on this one. After I crank the dory onto the trailer, I leave several inches of slack in the strap. The dory settles onto the trailer as I pull it out of the water and the bow rises as the stern settles. I also unreel a few inches before launching. Same reason. If I don't, something's gotta give, and that ain't good.

well done

In my mind the plates you put on gates will work like a sail in the current. i think one side will stay open letting the crab out. the other side will be pinned against the pot. I very well could be wrong

@OregonOldTimer

9 ай бұрын

I hadn't thought of that. Duh. Hadn't considered current. We try to get our pots down just before high slack and we pull them soon after, but, you're right, I think. This gives me more incentive to send a camera down with a pot.

Just found your site. Did you build that boat. I love it.

@OregonOldTimer

2 ай бұрын

Yes I did. Construction videos begin with this one: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Zq6OxNWgdtzfeZc.html

I like the gate modification, but unless you add weight to it the gate will be pushed open by the current allowing the crab to walk out.

We crab at or near slack tide. One of these days, I'll send a camera down to see what goes on. Soon after this video, we had our best crabbing day ever with the door mods.

I see you've now cleaned them both by splitting before cooking and splitting after cooking. Do you have a preferred method? Which and why?

@OregonOldTimer

Easiest way, and to my taste the best way, is the way you just saw me do it.

You’re an inspiration cause I love fishing and outdoors also. How deep you drop some of your pots because you guys are really close to shore?
