We enjoyed the visit with your son, he's a very polite and nice guy, I'm sure the traps aren't nearly as nice as the ones he makes. Looking forward to visiting again. Thanks a lot for Watching and your comments.

Enjoyed the video. That's a great anniversary gift. It's the gift that keeps on giving... Enjoyment, exercise, and food.

I loved your video. I have wondered how you put the loop on the balls that mark your traps. I really loved your demonstration of splicing a line and had not seen that done since I was a kid. I was too young to understand how it was done but your demonstration made it easy. Sure enough you could tie a knot but splicing does look much neater and I think is stronger in the long run. I cannot wait to see Joyce's anniversary traps in action. What a fabulous gift.

I enjoy working with rope, it takes a little more time than knots but to me it's worth it, also you can make your own dock lines the same way instead of buying them. We really appreciate you watching, and your comments.

Thanks Tim, always nice to hear from you.

My uncle here in Mississippi used to put crab bait(fish, chicken etc.) In tin cans with salted chicken broth then freeze them. By the time we got to drop the traps, the bait came right out of the can easy but still frozen 👍

Great video! I just found 2 crab traps at a thrift store for $12 each so I will be rigging them today. I will attempt to splice them like you did. That loop at the top is great advice.

Glad you enjoy our videos. Not the Navy, I was in the Army and worked on commercial fishing boats when I was young, also I have a Captains license issued by the Coast Guard.

Great video. Very informational. Also a Florida native. Me and my sons are going to start crabbing. Age of 8. I was wondering what gauge wire is the crab traps?

Love your idea of branding. Do you make the aluminum tags or do they send them to you with your license?

Loved your video. I was surprised that the haul line is tied to the rebar on the bottom of the trap. Is there a trick to keeping the rebar side down on the bottom if you lower the trap that way?

@TheOldCoupleOutdoors

It puts less strain on the trap. You just drop it in the water rebar end first.

Love the info!! Where can I purchase those weights?

@The Old Couple Outdoors,I have two traps similar to yours.do I need to open the mouth wider or just leave it as is because I'm always getting small crabs in them and never big ones.

What kind of weights are you using on the trap line under the buoy to keep the slack line underwater and the buoy line straight up/down? Thanks
