Hi Camilo, There are tow rings where the lobsters can get into the trap, You get a good look at one of them in the video. It is slightly razed and tapered inward. This is to allow the lobsters to get in easily and make it a little harder for them to get out. (but as you can see they are not stupid they know how to get out). The goal is to get them to go completely in the trap. Just like the first lobster ended up doing. Towards the back of the trap there is a mesh ramp. This ramp is also tapered from the top and sides. It leaves plenty of room for the lobster to get in. Unlike the rings we are not trying to lure them in with bait, we are trying to trap them when they are trying to find a way out of the trap, So this opening is much harder to get back out through. (Not impossible but much much harder). Hope this helps.

Lobsters enter the pot for the bait, they go thru a nuzzle, drop down then only way out is to climb the heading on other end of pot. When he climbs up the heading he drops into another compartment called the bedroom and is trapped.

@CharlieFitz411

This i can answer. Yes you can catch lobster and crabs together and we do quite often. Lobsters are fairly aggressive and will eat crabs if they are in the trap for to long together, but they will do the same with other lobsters. But both are rare to see. The crabs may be kept back by the lobsters a for the most part, but the main reason is you see a lot more crabs on sandy bottom, the trap will usually have more if not all crabs on sandy bottom, so we try to avoid setting on it, witch will in turn reduce the crabs we catch. Now that is for what we call jonny crabs. If you are talking Snow crabs witch we also fish in this area. They are in deeper colder water there is a good few miles off shore before you start to see them usually, but on some rare occasions in our deepest traps and in the colder months Snow crabs have been caught locally in lobster traps.
@xevious2501

thats kinda what i thought, that depending on the crab species, some would be found closer to shore and other larger crabs would be in much colder deeper waters. Lobsters i figure would be somewhere in between. and dropping pots in that grey zone could increase the chances of catching both in one trap.

To me the lobsters are not stupid they feel safer being able to reach the bait without going all the way in the trap.

The wife just bought two 1lb lobsters for $10 apiece in Oklahoma, which led me to wonder why lobsters are so cheap. Are the Maine lobstermen doing ok? Are they making a decent wage? Is there an over fishing, etc? Ive found out 2 things in the last 2 days: Lobstermen are REALLY the backbone behind conservation, meaning there are good lobster numbers because of self regulation (mostly through size limits and designed trap ineffeciencies). And 2, the buyers are becoming "Walmart" type corporations. Super buyers that are doing all the buying and in general keeping the fisherman from getting their fair share. The reason for the low price is the success the fishermen have had in the past 20 years at sustaining the lobsters, and they are therefore plentiful this year

What part of the country are you purchasing these yummy lobster? And well, as I see it money is power. And I like to think I spend mine through the right channels. Ive talked to several people about where to buy seafood that is best for the families providing the products. It seems the one rule is just not Walmart (becoming too powerful and want to take a huge chunk). I ordered some tails through a lobster fishermans Co-op in Maine but haven't tried em yet. Theyre pricey but that's ok, as long as the quality is there.

The lobsters in the video are form Northern Cape Breton in Nova Scotia, Canada. They are sold to Victoria Co-op fisheries, witch is owned by the local fisherman. They are cooked and packaged or sold whole to many locations around the world. I am not sure at who some of the current buyers are. But I recall Red Lobster being a big buyer in the past. One good spot to buy lobsters straight off the boat. We sell lobsters to tourists at least a few times a year. ( and most fisherman sell them at the price the co-op is buying them for so they are cheaper)

The wood hoop you see is like the bottom of a funnel it goes into the trap making it easier to get in than out. But they can and do get out quite easy. At the back of the trap there is a mesh reap also like a funnel witch is a harder to get out of, also in the back section there is a plastic panel with you can not see. It has an opening witch lets smaller lobsters escape but bigger ones can not fit out. This hatch is also attached with clips that will brake down and fall off allowing all lobsters that can fit in the trap get out. So if a trap is lost then it will eventually just let lobsters and fish come and go with out taping them. In short they can just get back out but it is just a little harder than getting in and with so many lobsters coming and going it eventually catches a few of them.
