Hi John, I was speaking to someone who shot pots out of Nairn harbour in Scotland. He too had issues with scumbags lifting his pots. He put a laminated note in the last pot that read “Thank you for lifting my pots. What you do not know is that somewhere in the string of pots is a tracker. By the time you have read this note I will have been notified that they have been lifted to the surface, the time they were lifted, and if you have AIS, the person who lifted the pots. I look forward to meeting you at your home port, either with the constabulary or a group of my friends who will be happy to educate you”. It worked even though it was a bluff.

In America we have what we call a town watch, they are community members who volunteer and watch the neighborhood. Maybe you good people could form a coastal pot watch. All it would take is a little organization.

I love that you know the lengths required and stick to them, so many peeps would see that lobster 1mm under and be like "Eh, close enough" and take it anyway. I hope you find who is robbing your pots too, absolutely ridiculous scumbags would do this and I hope you catch them.

My sister works in conservation, and my family has always been very conservation focused. Watching you diligently take the steps you need to take to protect the native populations is exemplary. I live in Ontario, Canada, and here all our local turtle species are endangered primarily due to invasive species (mostly the Red Eared Slider) that people have released into local waterways. I found a red eared slider in.backyard (which was weird because I am nowhere near any waterway) and contacted a local conservation society on what I should do with it. They suggested I release it in any nearby lake or stream. I tore them a new rectum for that suggestion, i can tell you. Turns out this particular turtle escaped from my neighbor's backyard pond where he personally rescues pet turtles that kids outgrew. Wish I had known that beforehand, but i did eventually find a good place for this turtle to be rehomed

When I was a tad my father's brothers and their families would invite us and we'd all go crabbing on Netarts Bay on the Oregon Coast. They'd plan it out carefully so we would get there just as the tide was turning. We'd set out our pots and everyone would go to the peninsula to set up. My mother and aunts would gather wood for a big bonfire. One of my uncles would set up a driftwood tripod over the fire and hang a pot of sea water so it would come to a boil. There would be potato salad, a jello salad, soda pops, chips and other picnic fare, but the main attractions were the Dungeness crabs. I would go out with the men-folk to watch. They had a special measuring tool that showed what males and females looked like, and a the proper measure for taking. No female crabs could be taken. Only males over a certain size were allowed. We would take only males over the size, and only the limit for each family, even though we would throw many of them back. My father and his brothers showed us kids what integrity was by example. When we returned to our peninsula camp with the crabs my uncle's would proudly show off the crabs before plopping them straight into the boiling water. I remember watching the crabs change color from the greenish brown of the live crabs to the bright red-orange when cooked. My aunts would fish them out, let them cool, and then clean them. I loved looking at the big shells of the backs. And the flavor of them was wonderful.

I was thinking hand grenade, but ink works too.

James...One thing you definitely need is a small winch to pull the pots. I know they have to be heavy because you've got some arms on you and you still struggle. That would kill me and take all the fun out of it. Also, it's so rewarding to see someone with integrity that has the vested interest in the sea and its creatures. I'm not sure how many people would throw back their catch if it was a millimeter or two to small. I think that is evidenced by the thieves who stole your catch. They need a lesson that will teach them the consequences of doing that and I don't mean a fine...something a bit more physical! That's where those big arms would come in handy. Be safe and best wishes!

Good to see you're still hauling it in over there. I know I just recently saw Alaska canceled it's snow crab harvest this year for the first time after a huge population decline from warming waters, and after previous king crab harvest cancelations too. Not looking so good 😕

Put a GoPro in one of the pots to see if you can try to record the pot thieves. If not then you can always get some good footage of what happens in a pot. Great video as always John 👍🏼🦀🦞

I've been watching your videos for about a year now John. Fantastic stuff. Love it all. Thieves!! The lowest of them all, in my opinion. I hope you find the person responsible and deal with them... Nod, nod, wink wink😉

Shame about the pots, perhaps a small and cheap GPS tracker in a waterproof box so you can see when they are being lifted. If you make it public that you are doing it hopefully it will be enough of a deterrence.

I’m very disappointed that scumbags are plundering your pots and I really appreciate how even though it’s like a kick in the gut, you reign in your emotions on camera. I’m sorry for the boogers who are doing this to you! Great commentary! Keep it up!❤❤

more like, crabs, lobsters, and MORE SCUMBAGS I'm sorry this happened again, but you've shown a lot of grace and firm disapproval on camera; Respect, man. If I had only watched this vid of yours, I would've known just from this that you're a good father. Also, thank you for making this content, I love watching this with my dad, who's a huge foodie and the son of a fisherman-farmer (albeit from tropical climes). :)
