Outstanding. Could the color of that pot make a difference in the catch ratio? I'm not sure if those bugs see color. Just something I'm throwing out there for consideration.
gently grabbing them out the pot and releasing them your harsh. you want them to liveand not e hurt throwing them at force back into water. if your not eating them. value life. i see this a lot with the fisherman neighbours of mine. why dont they climb back out the hole?
I am very aware of looking after the future that's why I fish the way I do. I am only a couple of feet from the water although the camera makes it look much further. Most potting boats are probably 3 times higher out the water. The force used is not aimed at the water its to clear the gunnel and propeller and to work quick to avoid being pinched. Also if you do not use enough force the crab/ lobster can grab the glove they can swing back around and smash into the gunnel. The crabs and lobsters are much tougher than you think and it does no lasting damage, I often see the same lobsters with distinguishing marks. Some will climb out but most cant figure out how to get out
Brilliant starter route into getting a lobster pot into the water this coming summer. Thanks so much.
Brilliant mate and so simple you have given me a few ideas! Thanks for sharing that one with us 👍
Nice 👍🏿 bro from Los Angeles CA nice 👍🏿🙂
well happy mission accomplished Troj
I don't have a boat but I live in Weymouth and could stuckie my waders on and walk one of them out, THANKS Troj ..... I'm going to make one of those
If you do try let us know how you get on. As a kid I used to take homemade traps down the beach & cliffs catching crab & lobster.
Good work
Love it and I might even try it. Sithi after! Dave
Great to make a lobster trap yourself! And you caught some nice lobsters in it. 👍
I have made a few pots but this has to be the quickest plus I have a plumber for a neighbour so rads
Another nice video. Great idea to.
It caught plenty of lobster
That's pretty cool
Very creative.. Nice work.. 👍
Salut mon ami bravo très belle vidéo fabrication maison coûte moins cher soirée à bientôt
They have lobsters in Britain?
Bushcraft Lobster Trap....and it works
how thick should the rope be? 10mm polypropylene ok?
10mm is what I use on the normal pots. The one on this pot is only about a 6mm braided rope that was lying around.
So lobster cant swim back up thro the same hole they came in ?
They tend to crawl more than swim if its a big hole or the pot is tilted they could find their way out over time.
How can I make big hole in side of washing basket
Carefully use a drill making lots of small holes, put a bit of wood under it so you don't crack it, or push a hot poker through it

I don't think color matters or at least I have never noticed it making a difference.
Depends on the depth it is in - according to divers red is the first colour you lose as the water gets deeper -about 40 ft I think
bait?
Could i make a trap like this that works for crawfish
I don't see why not as long as the holes are small enough
Do you get much theft from your pots?
Not so often they can easily be seen with the high land elevation and word travels fast around here
@@Trojwaterman I wondered if your competitors occasionally dipped into your pots?
New to this channel, so British guy with Brooklyn sweater living in Maine. Am I correct? :)
2 out of 3
Did you use it any more does it work well
I used it for about 3 to 4 months. For an old washing basket it worked well it ended up with around 20 Lobsters that were of legal size.
Whag do you use for bate
any old fish. its better if its a day old & very occasionally crab
Is that sea ? Or lake ?
Sea

Looks easy to make. Traps are not allowed in California for recreational fisherman.
They are allowed here but you must have a licence here if you sell any fish
In California, selling fish requires a commercial fishing license as well. Then use of traps are allowed.
