Mar 16, 2024
Alright guys, definitely the solution was to get our

crab

traps out here and set them up. Many of you on the pressing videos have been asking what type of

bait

we are using in our

crab

traps, one thing I want to do. Follow the process of showing them what we're doing, how we're doing it, and what we're using. We do a lot of places that help bass fishing here in South Carolina and you can see we're just using the place. Tell the bass carcasses to

bait

our crab traps. I have an old bait freezer, you know.

This is all I put out and it is bait to make my crab and when it comes time to make it, the water and air temperatures are still a little cold at the moment. but it's been a while since we've done a video crab and I'm excited to get out here and try it out and see what we can capture and show you guys what's going on down here, so thanks again for watching. and I'm going to show you that we're going to start putting this bait in our crab traps. I just found out there's a certain mountain here and now we're going to have full traps because Stephanie and I in South Carolina can get out. two traps per person.

Oh, with a recreational fishing license, I watch a lot of you

crabbing

in Maryland and different states and stuff, and I know in some places you can't use artisanal traps like we do for recreational

crabbing

, but we're here. I also learned that different states have crabbing seasons. Well, we can crab year-round here and it's not like year-round crab is always good in our area. Typically during the colder months the water gets too cold on our crabs. Moving to deeper water we normally fish for crabs in March Creek, but today we're going to put them in a little bit deeper water and we're just going to use this little 14 foot Jon boat, we're going to put a little full stroke Yamaha motor on it.

Oh mother, we grasp anything or we don't. I'm going to show you what we did. What I'm trying to do is just put a whole fish or a whole carcass in each trap and I'll play every play we make, you know, just the skin. I'm just adding it to each one. Close my door, make sure my straps

Guys, make sure you don't have any holes or anything that the crabs can crawl out of. Make sure these entries are here. or about, you know what you think that shit can go in and nothing can come out. Make sure crab trap buoys have your name and address on them. I can go out and do some bad things. It's always good to have someone, right? she loves doing the things you like to do Stephanie, she's amazing when it comes to doing this kind of stuff, she loves being in the water and I love being in the water, it's really good for us too if you mean something, nice day, it's good to be. camera shy so the guys are going to come out here and we're going to take out these crab

pots

we load them up on johnboat Stephanie and I once we say these crab pots we're going to try to sail a little bit today too because we're leaving these crab pots we set off for you know , 24 hours overnight, you know, hopefully, we'll have a decent amount of junk, but we'll see the four-stroke, four-horse engine

pull

out this choke, adjust our throttle back to the starting position, give it a couple of pools so you can.
Guys, what's going on here? Put these crampons on. I'll adjust them. They probably won't convert. They may not be interested in fishing one of my good friends yesterday. Instead, I beat football 26 with two mercury to corner or mode. I sure hope we can. We are going to go deep sea fishing in this area, vote this year, I will definitely try to show you some pictures. We're going to fish probably forty or sixty miles offshore. Our target will be Tom's dolphin or mom's grouper snapper, different things. who are off the coast here is fishing near the gulf stream here I just want to let you know that we are doing all kinds of things on this channel groups it's okay that you don't want to watch certain videos that you know you could just go to the group that you like and stay with us in both, maybe you will start to get interested in the area and maybe you will want to do others in the area like we like to do.
We are not just a fishing channel. it's not just a shitty channel, we're just a channel to show people what we love to do while others can do in the water because that's what we are, the weirdest or water based channel that loves to be in the water and do. stuff about these little Mars treats and getting these crab pots that Stephanie makes sure to keep there, so guys, I decided what we're going to do, but let's go straight with these nuts in about a half mile stretch here even though we use. pot full for crabs I'm going to place them where I know, try to find the location of the crabs in different depths of water and I really enjoy reading the comments on all the videos Tim Reilly, you know, I know you've been talking to me about making these shitty videos and I know you're one of the ones who really wants to see them and hey, this one is for guys like you who continue to understand that you enjoy, that's it first, the seas are long, Stephanie, go down the creek, I'll say. another horrible mouth as we go we are moving into deeper and deeper waters we are moving into bigger waters with rivers Iceland is getting bigger Oh any of you who are interesting maybe even making your own videos tell you what we are using right now: the camera is a GoPro Hero which surprised us and we are enjoying it and I think this camera really works like the next Java night, that couple can go back to the deep end of the tree a little bit.
I'm talking. So much so that I guess I'm out of control, I don't want us to do it, but it's okay, yeah, I'm not in a big hurry. These crab traps we have 50 feet of rope apart, we have irons on the bottom for them to sit on. alright well, I can see some of the crabbers having fun in this room and I don't want you to know, really, I'm just a recreational shitter who's here to make these videos and catch some crab dip. I don't want to mess with these guys, so guys, we've only gone about fifty meters down the street, this normal road, making sure it's about 200, which is good for going to the big river where our sailboat is.
I'll put one there. for you, the older ones probably can't see very well, but there is a belt thing, they have come to this area when they go to school or when the weather is out, there are a lot of crab pots here, they see pop crabs, Louie is in all of them parts, come guys, look in this great river. I can see the shit the commercial crabbers have this air about right here, they passed out pretty comfortably I guess, and they're doing pretty well and like I said, while I don't want to intrude on your space, I can put this river, I'll say it. you guys are on this side of the river just knowing that yeah, it's really not that deep here, but hopefully some crab will show up in this area.
Hey guys, it's been about 20 hours since we set those crab traps, let's go. here on the Little John boat and we'll take out these crab pots and show you what we've got. One thing I won't mention before we start today, guys, our videos are just for your entertainment, never use the things we are telling you about the rules and regulations, always check the rules and regulations yourself. One thing I brought with me today is a measuring device from here to here in South Carolina, this gap with this thing here, this is your fine and 1/2. inches if there's a crowd it's going to be if it's a male shit it's going to be over five and a half inches right there and that made it the number one male

blue

crab in our area and right here there's just a five inch spot and that's going to make it in a keeper in our area.
I also brought these tongs so I can grab the crab, so it doesn't matter, a bronto cloth just to keep me a little clean, we're starting with the last one we put in first. I'm going to work in the background. I can see one of the commercials always thinking that we pull one of the sticky strings off of him and put it back in the trap to keep it nice and I found out that this measuring device works like I'm saying from here, this edge. up to this edge, if the tips of this crab don't touch well, it's an undersized crab in our area, too small, you can tell it's a male crab by the apron, by the way it's pointing at the bottom, so it just has a little male crap that it doesn't have.
It doesn't have any red on its claws, that's an indication that if they have red on their claws a lot of the time, they might as well be female, so we would just return it. Oh, second pot, I hope we have something here worth keeping, but this. There's a lot of reasons why we don't do a lot of nonsense this time of year in this area and we just wanted to get your crab traps out here, we wanted to see if you know you guys are moving into our area or we wanted to make Guys a video just to let you know that We are still making crab catching videos.
I see a few more crabs in this pot, they are all male

blue

crabs, but they are small, they are very small crabs. Wonderful sighs, they say guys, have you ever wondered why? At certain times of the year the price of crab fluctuates, going up and down, that's why these commercial crabbers don't catch as many crabs this time of year, they do catch a lot of crabs this time of year. year in very deep water, they happen to steer their boat, which is small, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, it was crabs, guys, you can see there are only small crabs, but we are getting a good amount for this time. the year and I tell you what I think we're going to have a really good crabbing season this year and I can't wait for those videos to feel so Paul in the trap so I'm just trying to call the rowboat to unless I can so I'm just on those two crabs here, they're both males, they make you small again, too small a male.
One place I like to grab a crowd is right there on the swimmer's fin, usually when you grab them right there and hold them. pretty firm, you can't reach it, so I'll put this here and guys see that crab over there, it's still only four and a half inches from point to point, that's where I measure them on the back of their shell, the points. They're sticking out, that's what I'm checking here, we go from one point to another, look guys, four and seven eights, probably, that's not a keeper yet, don't save them if they're close to stealing, so three pots of crab , zero guardians, until the end.
Let's see how this one does, it's a little further up the creek, oh we got something good girl, we had to trick the boys.

There are a lot of people who really love watching that kind of stuff, that's why we keep making the videos a little bit further back in this creek, like I was saying, but as far as the number of crabs, there's three, six, seven. eight crabs here and there may be in our area that are making crabs and videos.
I've seen a couple where people are doing one or two. It was a few years ago when they really did it. I haven't really found anyone who does it consistently. The one I thought could do it. could make it as a goalie and I'm pretty sure that's it guys there's your side to side indicator again look that's the only goalie that's there from point to point that's touching both sides and anyone can do something like this. here just cut it out of a piece of wood with a jigsaw or a song, let's see how it does as a guardian, but and it's there, it's very close, it's 16 from the end of being the number one male blue crab, but give it . this shot of him swimming out of his stiffness if we can get him out of character looking guys oh shit one key a blue crab I know it'll be a little while before we make another video unless we decide to move them even deeper water so go ahead and hit the subscribe button for us, if enough people sign upIf you subscribed to this video, I'm going to move these crab traps to deeper water and show you what's out there.
