Nice start to the season Team Troy! I know how much Rebecca loves her Spider Crab!
"Over the gunwale and down the pot goes. What will it catch? - nobody knows"!
Good luck to both of you - stay safe & well, Dave. 🎣🎣👍👍
I think you're going to need a bigger bucket 😳
Wow that is so cool Rebacka has been on a crab boat!. Amazing that will build carrier. I bet she can hold her on in about any situation. I like in north California in the redwoods. I have a great bass pond that is hug and full of fish.!! Let's go fishing!!. Y'all seem cool. I hop y'all are close!!. I'm Joey Rite Lines
Yummy yummy ❤
I use to Commercial crab in the USA. We had 200 pots on two rows , square pots with two openings.
loads there
G' Day Mates !
Great fun for you two
Wow...oh those are going to be so good.
Oy Troj. It is like you became a supervisor and Rebecca does all the hard yards. She is a keeper. Some sharing of labour might go a long way.
The thing is she has a choice but prefers to pull the pots. I would prefer to lift them but someone has to navigate the rocks and tides plus when any tough work begins the camera gets put down.
Really enjoyed the video Troj lovely vibrant orange those spiders are I reckon you're right it's a good year for them
We have been getting some really big ones the last couple of days. Got to be some giants down there that can't fit in the pots.
Here in the northeast of USA our spider crabs are dirty. with green slim n algae growing on them its gross !!!
Yes I have heard this. The ones here migrate from very deep water into the shallows for a couple of months then they go again. We also have fast currents and don't get problems from algae blooms.
Used to set crab pots this way back in the 70’s. Three or four in a string with a heavy weight in between the pots, running 90 degrees to the bank. This was for private fishing & eating. Unfortunately the legislation has stopped this procedure & have to use floats & proper marking on pots & floats. Unfortunately I haven’t been crabbing for eons. You’ve got bloody good pot full of spider crabs 🦀. We used to chase big mud crabs, beautiful eating & have become an expensive dish in restaurants. Damn Damn Damn. 😢😂😂🇦🇺
They still run lines of pots here The gear also has to be marked with licence / reg number or boat name. The gear can be removed if not. I watch a few other youtubers catching mud crab, its interesting the way they tie the claws up.
@@Trojwaterman - Yeah, the tying stops them messing one and other up. Also stops them from getting hold of the stray finger or toe. They sure can cause pain, I saw one latch on to my Dads’ fingers or thumb when I was a boy. He had to use an oar rollick to smash the claw. It had thrown the claw & left it hanging off dad. 🦀😖😖🇦🇺
Hi, I notice Rebecca does all the work🤣😲🇦🇺🌈
Its her choice she loves to pull the pots we are just having fun :)
@@Trojwaterman I was just having a laugh myself
Morning handy jeep
Should be good for getting the boats in and out the water
So much better my mate had one for years he loved it alot for your cash
You can see who does the hard work !.
No hard work in this video just having fun :)
@@Trojwaterman Said very tongue in cheek !. I lived and worked all day with my wife for around 50 years, it was mostly fun too.
Hi troy 😊i like the way that rebecca delicately puts the crabs back 😂you just chuckem😅
I know she needs to throw them a bit further out or one day one will end up in the propeller 😁
Thanks for the video guys
Thanks for taking the time to watch :)
happy days happy days gd start to the season troy
Yes, I was only expecting to see a couple of crab on the first lift
Nice new wagon Troy
Yep! Decided it was time to change
Yea for sure, also did you buy your aux outboard bracket over here?
It came off my old boat which was on the boat when I bought it
Good to see you putting them back to grow bigger. And future breeding stock
Great viewing troi and welldone Rebecca for the hard work!
Yeah, I never had the luxury of my wife lifting but did go with a mate & shared the catch. 👍🏻🦀🇦🇺
I find myself crossing fingers and toes that Rebecca doesn't get the dreaded spider crab nip on the finger! Bloody painful, those bigger claws.
I got caught by one some years back not looking at what I was doing . Split the finger nail, took months to grow out
wow your pots are so different and look so hard to clean out its fun seeing how other parts of the world fish im an aussie our crab pots look way different to yours i have seen netting used as crab lures its crazy how different countries fish for crab
👍🏻😂👍🏻🦀🇦🇺
Hi troy I was in Cornwall last week weather was crap it was hissing down 😢for most of the week went fishing twice that was rubbish as well, but the place we went to called rock nice little village quaint but nice I need more than a week to find the best places to catch 😅never mind a better luck next time ttfn
Its been a bit quiet here as well from the boat. Few smaller pollack handful of early mackerel and baby bass
Big spider bro
Does living/working next to the sea rust your vehicle's if so do you hose them with fresh water after work?.I have seen a small boat that had cage/nets to hang over the non working side (starboard on your boat ) that kept catches from getting under foot or tangled in gear.just a suggestion as it might keep the deck clear 👍
Yes the saltwater is terrible for the cars the best thing is drive real slow as not to spray it up from the wheels. Plus I spray a mix of oil and floor wax under the vehicle which hardens and forms a waterproof barrier.
👍🇨🇦
did you short ya crabs out
Rebecca outs in the hard work. How do you cook those leggy sods? what part can you eat?
Body and legs are full of white meat We show what we do at the end of this video : ua-cam.com/video/LU3vBl9eupE/v-deo.html
i miss potting, me and me dad used to make everything from scratch, (well he did) lol. sash weights, bread tray, rope and stripped rubber from tires and your good to go. i was playing fishing simulator and then this vid popped up, takes me back. plenty of spiders about this time. what bait was you using i not sure if i seen or not. you dont wanna be far out just look for rock, usually inshore closer than swimmers will thing haha.
I think it was wrasse and conger bait
Is there a way to build a door into the crab pot to make access easier?
You can but it puts extra time and cost to the build, You can buy doors at about £6 a door but then you have to base your design on the door.
Hope you're looking after the Mrs with lots of spider sandwiches mate ;-)
Always
💜👍💜👍
2 questions for you, is there no brown crab in your waters, & 2, whats the difference between the two when eating?
Yes we do get some brown crab but they have been declining over the years. The spider crab is sweeter than the brown crab and are at their best now. Later on they will breed and molt on mass and will not be good eating as the meat will become wet and mushy so they are seasonal crab.
Swap places
Why would you want to stop her doing what she wants to do ? If she wants to lift the pots that's her choice.
Hi Troy Hope you are both well. Nobody on Guernsey seems to target plaice Is there a reason for this or is it just the fact that there arn't many about
I used to fish for them from the shore in a few places ( Tides are a bit fast from boat) Some years back we lost the 12 mile limit for a time and hundreds of foreign trawlers descended on the Island. Since then there have been very few and I have not caught any on rod only a few 3lb to 5lb fish while diving. Also now the seas are warming, some species seem to be moving North and others like breams tuna octopus and abalone are on the increase.
I see someone next to you had put a hawk on their boat, to deter seagulls I presume
Its been on it awhile. Apparently it works
Do you have a size restriction for the crabs?
Yes we do but we never take them that small
Not stick on a life vest ?
Good video too 👍
I wear flotation jackets
Hipster fishing
the wood will take soaking up the water . . .
would you have got spider crabs 30 years ago
yes
Love the way a women,doing a mans work!
turn her hands round so back of hand is facing water, you watch difference in the pullin. and stamina lol
Been away from UA-cam a long time, who is it with you Troy, and how's the back now ?
That's Rebecca. Backs ok at the moment
@@Trojwaterman nice to see you with a like minded soul👍
Wondering when Rebecca will be filming and commenting and You do the bull work?
Lol ..Never if I have anything to do with it 🤞🤣
Rebecca has the choice to do whatever she wants to do
Ça serait mieux si il y’avait une porte pour enlever les prises 😉
Some have doors :)
Hello, Mr. Crab, may I introduce you to two very good friends of mine, meet Mr. Steam and Mr. Butter....
What do you actually eat from the crab apart from its legs?....
Inside the body is also full of meat. If you look at this older video at 13.20 it shows the whats inside the body. ua-cam.com/video/xWDdU2E8oLk/v-deo.html
With the location of the pots so obviously marked, do you have a problem with people stealing your catch? If they're caught, what's the penalty/punishment?
A lot of eyes are watching as most fishermen know each others gear plus you can see a lot from land at that end of the island. A friendly warning is usually enough to stop most pot thieves.
Why dont you put doors on your pots to make it easier to empty?
Some do have doors but its extra cost and time on the build plus it makes it easy for thieves above and below water. Aside from that we don't mind the time spent its part of the fun of doing the pots.
@@Trojwaterman thats understandable. Due to tide, I only have a very short window to haul pots, so every minute counts. I wish I had the ground you have, seems like plenty of shellfish, and it would be lovely not having 15kg pots and 16kg anchors to keep them in position, and they still do move in good tides
I know what you mean these ones weigh 15 to 20kg for when we push them deep. I use a thinner rope and smaller buoys to cut the tide but even then the Atlantic swell that rolls in here can pretty much move anything on the big tides.
I like the old osier pots, both to see on the shore and the old ‘uns reckon they catch better.
I can remember when Rebecca was a wench and now you have changed her into a winch 😂 😂 😂
Don't worry the other winch will be back soon :)
Ghislane can handle crabs...!
get that bigger boat done you might as well be crabbin in a canoe with what you're use in
The bigger boat is done now. We only started shooting a few pots from the dinghy to test the waters. The crabs arrived very early this year.
I Am a crab fishermen in north cally!!. I like. This Women!!! Grabbing those crab and pulling the pots. Witch ant no EZ task. He'll ya brother!. And not bitching about it. I wonder why you are not pulling the pots out of the water. What is up with that??? Peace
Partly because its safer to pull from the front in that small boat but the main reason is Rebecca wants to pull the pots up.
I was hoping it was something like that. I see guys sitting in the car while there girlfriend is popping glass in the ran and she probably paved for it!! Well your friend is my kind of women. Pulling crab pots in a small boat he'll ya ata girl . Has she jot a sister😍. Tire line Joey
A lot of people don't know Rebecca has worked on fishing boats in the past she enjoys it and just gets stuck in
How “not right “ is this picture the little lady does all the work,and the guy just runs the camera and steers the boat. The Woman’s Rights movement in America would be screaming “how dare you treat the poor woman like that “. She shouldn’t have to deal with any of that nonsense!😮
You see you have it completely wrong. Rebecca wants to lift the pots she does not want to drive the boat. We work as a team. Nobody is treating anyone bad here. Rebecca is a tough independent woman who will ask for help if she needs it. If you had watched any of the other 600 videos you would already know that.
Equal rights. I know a bunch of women that can do men's jobs better than some of the men I know
Thank you but there is really no need to be concerned. I find it so exciting being able to pull up the lobster pots and go fishing. Lifting pots is more about technique than strength but for the deeper water we have a winch. Many years ago before I met Troy I used to fish in much the same way so I'm certainly used to it. Wouldn't give it up for the world 😁
Looks Like you nead a Bigger Boat
Don't worry I have another :)
