A joy to see the fisherman at work with great confidence, obviously prepared. He seems to know the marina well. GPS essential! My father was a fisherman in Mexico, and I know that I would enjoy a ride on this fisherman's boat as I did when I was a child.

I'm 79 now living in Minnesota. Lived in Santa Clara in the 60's & 70's. Use to go on charter boats bottom fishing for Cod, Snapper, etc. out of Half Moon Bay sponsored by the Pub I hung out at. The only crabbing I ever did was off of Muni. pier in S.F. when I was between 10 & 12 yrs. old. (big Dungies back then right off the pier!) This brings back a lot of good memories. Thanks for the great video!

I grew up in NJ and used to go crabbing every year with my Dad. We had a trick that used to really help attract the crab to the pots. We would buy cans of cheap wet cat food, punch a few holes in the cans and throw one in the bait bag along with the bait. We were always successful using that trick, even when the other boats in the area weren't catching many.

Best of luck to you with your surgery and a speedy and complete recovery 🙏🏼 Tide changes and windshifts also cause those polylines to float. I had to drive around them on a few occasions. Thankfully with clear conditions I was able to see them. I bought a Discover Bay Hauler because it is tall and raises the pots and traps up over my gunwale, I have quite a few years behind me on you. No lifting heavy pots for me 😉

Great video with all the safety stuff. I like your trap recovery system. I've got two suggestions. Make the support tall enough for your traps to clear the railing. Make the extension ale to accept motorized top section. This keeps it short in length. Number two, allow the top motorized section to pivot into the boat. A hole drilled through a tab, to lock the top section in place during rough times.

That’s a lot of work for a few crab! I really appreciate the way you explain things!! Easy for me to understand!! :)

A couple of tips from an Alaskan fisherman after watching this video: 1. Poly line floats, which is a hazard to your and other boats, use leaded line, like that on his first pot, which sinks so only the buoy is on the surface. If all you have is poly line, you can attach a lead weight to the line so it remains below the surface. 2. The best distance between your and other buoys is that which ensures the lines don't tangle. No one likes having to pull up two pots at once when one of those pots isn't yours. 3. Drop pot in first, then let the line out until you feel the pot hit the bottom. This ensures you have enough line for the depth regardless of your depth finder.

@stephenclearwater7685

Жыл бұрын

"Drop pot in first, and then let the line out until the pot hits the bottom" - I though that this would work, but ofcourse i found out that current also needs to be accounted for. the current pushed my buoy over, so the line was going about a 45 degree angle up from the pot instead of straight up... since this distance to the surface was greater and also greater than my line, the buoy submerged by about 20 feet! i was able to recover it a few days later at low water slack. lesson learned!

@GFYSR

5 ай бұрын

Easy rule of thumb. Add 20’ to your line to account for current up to 100’ then adjust to 20% extra of depth to line ratio. high current areas use a double float and even up to 30% extra line. If the float goes under it will soak up water and compress and not come back up. Use two that way if on goes down you will still have a float at surface. Also crab move with water temp and food source. Weather makes dirty water, means camo for movement and brings in food particles. Also Dungy like sandy/mud bottom mix, prime habitat.

I really appreciate your honesty and following the rules.

great content, thank you for actually putting the smaller ones back, not like other people ive seen.

Well done buddy, good skills, judgement and entertainment. Worth the watch.

I love this man. Not a busy day, not a single person in sight. Yet when he launches he has the decency to hitch his boat towards the back of the dock/launch area. It shows courtesy, which I feel like is a dying art, unfortunately.

First time watching one of your posts and really enjoyed it. You're a good example for the youngsters watching this as to size limit laws and your releasing females. Keep it up, we need more sportsmen like you.

Dude your safely is spot on. Perfect example of a safe boater. Keep up the great videos.

Very unique engineering when it came to applying the brakes for solo launches. Did like the fact that walked your boat 🚤 to the end of the dock Great footage and Thanks 🙏

You'll be put in no time man. Sending good vibes to you and you family during recovery 🤙

Great video! A couple of suggestions, if possible remove all fishing rod holders, trip hazards or other possible obstructions that the line could get caught on. Always try to keep the line in front of you, not behind you. Be careful not to stand in the loose loops of rope. If something ever gets hung up, just let go of the rope. It's not worth losing a finger/hand or getting pulled over if something gets hung up on the bottom, in the motor, etc... Always keep a knife in reach. It's best to mount one to your life jacket so if you fall in or get yanked overboard for any reason you still have access to it... Be safe out there👍😊...

Still awesome watching the second time! Thanks so much! I love this!

I very much enjoyed your outdoor adventure. I live in the country with a lot of land but find myself wanting to be on the water crabbing and fishing. Enjoy what you have there, it is very special.

Thanks for always checking the sizes man, I can't tell you how many people I see keeping under sized crab. I absolutely love crab and it ticks me off when people keep small crab, contributing to their decline.

You are really good at what you do!🙂

Well hello young man, so as I was going along your little channel caught my interest. I'm from New Bedford Mass. and I was a commercial fisherman all my life, now am an old guy ,but with your channel, I can visualize my being there with you. I've done every type commercial fishing , from sword fishing, to deep sea Red Crabbing, we actually used to process the Red Crab, on our vessel, we would cook ,box and freeze them. We were off coast from, Massachusetts,all the way down to Baltimore Canyon, off the Maryland coast, gees son I miss doing that. I have been on log line fishing boats, Gill net boats, scallop boats, tub.. trawling boats, lobster boats, dragger boats with nets, many other types of fishing, but to be honest with you,, I loved Crabbing the most, I spent roughly 27 yrs. Crabbing, just our anchors were set at a maximum of 375 fathom, Red Crab are very very deep, verses lobster, are mostly 150 fathom...and much less than even that,. lobsters love shoal water. Now am 70 and because of all my 44 yrs of fishing, I can barely walk, and I need a walker with seat to get around,, But hey,, I'd love to do it all over again,, son your so lucky. But listen,, don't do what I did,, when I would come home from being out from two weeks and sometimes for up to a month out at sea, me and all my Bro's from the boat would literally Paint the town Red, and spend all our money and then it would be time to go back out again...Am Proud of you, young man. wcote6988@gmail.com

BlackRockBrewing - I hear you man.This is the first video by Fisherman's Life that I've ever seen, so I don't know the entirety, nor even from whence he hails, but I subscribed, so I'm sure I'll find out. He seems be following the rules and honestly, I didn't see him do too much stupid or anything illegal. I don't even know what the law is wherereverer, but non-commercially, crabbing for Blueclaw Crabs here in the Northeast, we always return the females, even when keeper size, as it just makes good business sense to do, for next year. He seems to always be wearing a life jacket and has a wrist band kill switch to his boat engine, so if for some reason he gets knocked overboard, hopefully he'll be able to swim back to his boat. The only thing that scared me was when he said he didn't have his knife. It's called a 'pocket' knife, for a reason. I keep two, one in either front pocket. One to use, one to loose, or one to quick hand a rookie, who didn't have his when asked, which was enough to get you fired, where I worked. One reminder to everyone, whenever you 'get into' anything, make sure you have your knife on the inside, of sleeping bags, tents. When in a Hazmat suit, Survival suit, Fire fighting gear or the like, you should always have one knife in the inside pocket, and one in the outside pocket. Don't forget either. There have been two times that I nearly died because I was stupid enough to forget one or the other. So far, I've never forgotten either again (and it's been about 20 years). As well, the overall production qualities of F'sL, being basically a One Man Band, in terms of actually recording anyway, is quite high. Clearly enjoyable. As a viewer, I feel as if I am a minor helper, just taking it all in, trying to be both helpful when needed, but out of the way when not; which is a rare talent that Captains often have, when serving as a deckhands, which they often do, to my surprise. On most commercial jobs I've ever been on, if there were six deckhands, there were at least eight or ten Captain's licenses, just laying around, as if litter, altho there were probably more, if you asked seriously. Often times, who was assigned the 'Captaincy', drew the short straw. The Captain, the one who is ultimately responsable for every facet of every second of need of every person onboard (let's say, just 30 people, not counting other life-forms), all for the need that you, as the Captain, are tasked to sign every piece of paper that leaves your ship, and often, on receipt of those that arrive, to suffer that $4 boost in hourly pay. Please see. Money is not usually what this deal is all about. Some fall to Captaincy, to gain a mark of respect, for some tiny bits of their 'Mother's Love' (or whoever..., Oh, man. Nah, I'm not gonna step there. You'll have to do it yourself, or hire someone to, be you, in essence.

Great video. I loved dock crab fishing near Everett, WA when I lived near there.

Hey, 100 percent with you on the solo life jacket thing....same for me. I go crabbing on the Chesapeake Bay, same concept, nowhere near as deep and no mountains.
