Catching lots of shrimp with home made shrimp traps

- Always trying to weasel in a practical math lesson, we are trying out our home made shrimp traps and catching lots of shrimp and prawns!
I know people can catch way more, but put this in perspective: first time making the traps, first time using them, and first time shrimping at this location. Pretty darn good for a first time.
We used our home made shrimp traps side by side with a couple purchased traps all weekend and found they worked as good or better than the expensive ones.
We fished for 3 1/2 days and averaged a couple hundred shrimp and prawns each day, fishing just 5 minutes from shore. I'm pretty confident we'll find better spots, specifically it would be great to figure out where all the giant prawns are at, they are 10 times the size of shrimp.
While we were generally shrimping, our friends were catching spring salmon. Luckily our friends are terrific and invited us to get in on the action.
If you have some old buckets, these traps would only cost 2-3 bucks each, even if you have to buy the 5 gallon buckets, it would land you around $10-15 each. We found the plastic mesh at a hardware store and it worked great.
Anyways, you can easily make these shrimp traps at home, with or without the home school geometry lesson. Dave might even go shrimping in a canoe! Good luck!
I have never, NEVER SAW YOUNG LADIES so HAPPY an RESPECTABLE. GREAT JOB MOM AN DAD........
My head hurts with all those numbers
The pride I saw on dad's face when the gals were hauling up the prawns and landing the salmon was priceless! Yup, the family cohesion y'all have created has won me over big time---and MATH?? I loathe math but seeing you make it reality with the prawn traps was one of those 'teachable moments' that I cherished as a 37 year elementary teacher. Good on you!
Thanks!
I know a lot of kids who are missing out on tons of life experience.
Way to go Jim and Rose
8:48 That look of mutual pride and joy is priceless. Congratulations, you win.
I’ve never heard children so respectful as when they saw that their dad was successful. Such smart kids.
You, your wife and Dave are special, special people. The upbringing you are providing those girls is, priceless.
Actually, I am a rocket scientist ;-) Good job on the traps, math really does matter. The proof is in the prawns!
The family that is always smiling. Best parenting videos on youtube. Envy from silicon valley. Math is my living. You are so blessed.
Salute to Jeff, he is a master survivor and an amazing Dad to his kids.
Your videos are great (hint: there is never enough) but ones like this need to be at least one hour long. Can't get enough of you all and Dave. Brings a smile to our faces. Thanks.
This channel should have a million subs. Amazing family.
I concur, make it so!
This Channel should have a million sups. Amazing family
U guys are great...my favorite vids. Informative, funny, and kid friendly. Totally loved it when your wife asked if u were going to fire her, then she gave the look. Lol
We discovered you guys today and have subscribed. We are Aussies and love how your family works together without aggro. As parents you are right to have pride in your daughters and your daughters obviously love and respect you. And respect is earned. Your love for each other is heartening in today's society. Well done and keep it up, we love what you've accomplished and how your teaching your girls how to be self-sufficient in all aspects of life and living. WELL DONE AND CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the encouragement Richard, glad you could join us!
New to You. I had so much fun and smiles! Thank you all!
I love you all and the brother moments crack me up to no end! Your ladies give us hope for our future! Love the wheel of fortune!
I so love this amazing gracious family! Thank you for sharing 💕🙌
You two guys crack me up.Beautiful family dad. Great fishing.
Great video on making the Prawn Traps.
Your friend needs to get a bigger net for Salmon - You need to get them to fall into the net deep enough that they can't flip out. When they do, turn the net so as to close the bag to make sure they don't jump out. That second Chinook was very close to escaping that shallow net!
As for the Prawn Traps, I would hook them up so that when you pull them, the water will flow through them rather than sideways, the way you have them now. It will make them much easier to pull if you don't have the water resisting you. I would also hang the weight on the outside of the trap so you don't crush any Prawns from it bouncing around inside the trap on the way up.
I like the trap puller you built - looks great.
What a family this is. When those young girls turned 25 to 30, they will be the most skilled and trained girls in the country.
Definitely glad you are not monetized with constant annoying commercials like most channels. That's the only reason I've watched so many of your videos and keep watching them! As well as, the wholesome, good -natured 100% QUALITY MATERIAL, of course! Keep up the great work, all of you and THANK YOU! FOR GIVING THE REST OF US HOPE IN THIS GODLESS COUNTRY OF OURS AND WHAT IT'S DEVOLVED INTO... TRULY POSITIVE AND INSPIRATIONAL, YOU ALL HAVE BEEN TO ME 💪❣️✝️🙏🗡️
Great seeing kids outdoors having fun, and also learning. Thanks for sharing your videos! 😎👍👍
"Doing math equals…eating prawns" 😂
Seán Earnest was that a yellow cedar swimming into ur trap while it was sinking
Your girls never cease to amaze me, what an incredible job you & Rose have done raising them. I'm heading back to BC soon and I can't wait to get out on those waters, this video made me really excited for it! Sending love from Nova Scotia.
Are they in BC? I thought they were in the US. Ontario here.
Northern BC near PG.
Jeff you are one happy man! Wonderful life for you and your family! I admire your adventures!
Your videos are my "feel good" videos of the week. I'm on the road all week and I get home, wake up Saturday morning, and there you are. It's like waiting for Saturday morning cartoons when we were kids... wait... wait... wait... then finally, BAM!!! Bugs Bunny and Wile E Coyote. It is EXQUISITE! RAPTUROUS!!! Dare I say, almost DIVINE!!!... Thanks for sharing your fun with us.
Devine, wow! Thanks! Our kids kinda feel like our vids are like Saturday morning cartoons as well.
OH, God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am the second person to like your new video,
I love the way you live your life and raising your kids,
I have watched your every single video and eagerly waits for the new one,
Lots of love from INDIA,
God bless you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks! So glad that your enjoying the vids.
Another great video! Thanks for sharing your lives with us!
I have never experienced fishing and shrimping in my life, so thank you for making this video.
Totally amazing..I don't know why when I look at your family I remember foofighter song..my hero,ur family,s rock!!!!
Well, that is the most comprehensive demonstration of mathematics application I have ever seen. You did well for your kids, and proved it! 😀😎
Thumbs up for a family effort that paid off! Well done guys!
You guys must have a blast together,friends , family,and a whole lot of fun!!
I just love what you guys do👍. Thank you
Great to see Kids enjoying the great outdoors with their parents. And what a great day yall had on the water. Priceless....
Thanks for sharing from the UK, injoyed that
That bicycle wheel trap puller was ingenious. Here on the East Coast you are only allowed to salmon fish with fly rods. If you use anything else, expect to spend a day in court. As always, great vid.
I love watching your videos. Thanks to Dan Hurd. Been binge watching for the last 2 days. You guys are amazing and inspirational.
Thanks so much, and welcome to the channel!
You are all lovely lovely people, I am so pleased I found your channel, I am in the UK so hello from near Brighton (bottom of the Uk)
Glad to have you from the mother country!
OUtside of the sneaky math lesson. You don't need to buy everything. You can actually make things of things. A great video.
Awesome deal
Plus you are teaching the children HOW to never.go hungry for.LIFE
💓🇺🇸
Sitting here on my porch watching all your videos on this wonderfully sunny day in Oregon's out back. Just trying to avoid the virus.hope your all well and doing something ya want.
Loved the bow picker " wheel of fortune" Genius. awesome.
My new favorite channel. love the prawn/shrimp traps.

Good job kids my daughter and my son smiling see your all helping your father
Congratulations! Priceless times with the kids.
Love all ypur homemade traps/puller...brilliant!!
Was great seeing youl caughin those pawn and sprimps together with your kids and having a great meal with them I wish in my country that most will do that as in SA most people are not really family time together and have a great meal after a hard day's caught
Good stuff! Thank you very much for posting cool vids!
Holy prawn..... that looks amazing
You and Dave are hilarious!
Beside shrimp fishing, the background image of the lake and mountain as he was eating the cooked shrimp is just mesmerizing. What a view to behold as you enjoy your food.
It was an amazing view! Glad that you noticed it!
Is it a lake or a river?
Guys I love u so so too too much
We need to see u every day 💕
I am following u from Morocco
Glad your enjoying the videos! We do our best to get vids out as often as we can!
Gridlessness I’m sure that is very time consuming ,Thank you ! God Bless
math is not hard once you understand your gozintas and eagles. man this takes me back to catching fresh water prawn with a light and a net when i was a kid in southern tex near the gulf. i would bring home some monsters lol 2 of them would fill me up. i used traps like yours to catch bait when i didnt want to hall my cast net around with me. every thing about this vid triggers old memories some how thanks.
Evaluation is good and unique from any other channels👍
Totally awesome haul!

Just discovered your channel... love it, keep up the good work !
Wow! Your guys are amazing
Man we need more content like this. If you run through explanation of the equations involved and made a series I think people like myself would pay for it. Me kids loved it so far and will be testing this trap with vrayfish in the next week or so
Dude, what a great family you have!
No doubt you earned my subscription. Good upbringing. Great happy family.
GREAT JOB YOU GUYS!!! That is so cool!!
SO wholesome haha, love it, subbed
Awesome video. Family is everything. One of the most unique channels today. God bless guys. Keep them coming lol.
Nice family math class. I remember old times with my mum 😂👍
Now i would just go and cut off the overlapp
8,500 new subscribers since I was binge watching your videos before work. That's great...because I was thinking that your channel should have way more subscribers since the content is so amazing and inspiring and wholesome.
Young ladies abbie your so smart and hands on learning well done Christina wow same smart a great job all of you are roll models thank you for video

Thanks Klaudia!
That creature that stabbed the prawn was John Carpenter's "THE THING".
It's a quality life..stay blessed.
Literally heaven...Hope, hope..
"Doing math = eating prawns!" Great video guys! Also, I think you caught a pelagic red crab (Pleuroncodes planipes) in that one trap. We see them in large numbers here in CA in El Nino years on the CA Channel Islands.
nice family bonding..god bless all of you...from philiphines
Thanks for a great Video😃
