It's nice you still upload during the off season crap weather, it's nice your taking the time to do this and show people. I've got a couple of pots now which I'm going to put out next year to try my luck for a few lobsters for the table. All done via fishing kayak.... Wish me luck😂
Just thought I'd say that I think the wire method for baiting is the best, because the wire holds the bait on good and the bait is easy for the lobster to see,I think the baitbag method makes the bait very blind to the lobster.also pollock and wrasse are my favourite bait for lobster, if I have fresh bait I normally leave it a day old, that way the freshness is gone and no congers the crayfish I got this summer were both cough using pollock.
I've never used them , but they make a thing that dissolves in saltwater on a timed period. It will keep your pots from being robbed. I've had them cut off of boat docks even.
Yes I have seen them. Getting the wood here is very expensive. These ones are ok they use minimum resources for max strength the net normally starts to wear out before the pot.
Excellent informative video as ever. Need to go and watch the other video now! Do you use older stinkier bait for lobsters, and a preferred bait species? I have mackerel in the summer mostly...
Old yes prefer wrasse but that's because it lasts longer. Mackerel is good but it wont last very long and if it goes in to fresh the congers will often rip it out.
You could but you will find the net will dip between the bars. Also wrapping the net around tight holds all the parts together even if screws rust out or bars break and strengthens the construction once roped.
Its just called crab pot netting here. Crab pot supplier, Chandlers or sometimes in fishing tackle shops you can also get it online at places like Coastal Nets
Depends where you are but as far as I know no you don't. If you have a mooring somewhere they may require that you do have insurance. Depending on what dinghy you have you should get yourself at least a basic insurance (It does not cost much) Just in case you run into someone or your boat damages another otherwise it could cost you a fortune if held liable.
Thank for the heads up. I'll let you know how I get on!!
Great demonstration - Well done....
Great vid Trois ,same old story though,no matter what size w/shop you put up it's never big enough !..ha.ha.
There are about six but at least I can get in this one :)

If other people can learn from it that's great. Make sure your bait is going off it will help catch lobster if you want crab then fresh. Good luck

great vid trojs very well explained, its a lot easier than I thought. when u are covering the rest of the pot do u use cable ties to hold it in place.
👍👍💜💜
Pretty cool how to vid...I love both lobster and crab....but have never caught my own
As a very small child I remember watching the pot as my farther pull it to the surface fascinated by what may be inside the pot/trap
Look at Canadian style Nova Scotia pots there solid
Yes I have seen them. Getting the wood here is very expensive. These ones are ok they use minimum resources for max strength the net normally starts to wear out before the pot.
Very cool I fish for crayfish in Alberta and I use 13 x21 x 31 wire traps I think your Channel is really cool

Where to get to inf is more Rea for it
Hi Troy
Did you ever make a wooden pot with a drop down door at one end
It would make getting conger and large spiders out a lot easier
Better than Blue Peter! Cheers and Merry Christmas. Dave
He he, have a great xmas
Forgot to say, a merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thanks same to you have a good one
Where do you buy the netting from ?
What size do you get 8.5 mesh 9.5 mesh’s or 18.5 mesh’s cheers ken
www.advancednetting.co.uk/potting-equipment-c-1_134/ Meshes does not matter to me as I will just string together but I will go bigger if I can
hi just a thought i would net the frame be for you put the cross bars
You could but you will find the net will dip between the bars. Also wrapping the net around tight holds all the parts together even if screws rust out or bars break and strengthens the construction once roped.
Hi mate what’s the netting cold or where can I get it from
Its just called crab pot netting here. Crab pot supplier, Chandlers or sometimes in fishing tackle shops you can also get it online at places like Coastal Nets
What do you use to weight it down ?
Sash weights or yo can fill metal pipes with cement /concrete (just make them longer than sash weights) or you could use angle Iron along the base
Four bricks and a roll of chicken wire
Nice video bud wonder if u can help me I bought a dingy boat I was told I don’t need insurance to go on the sea it’s my opinion is this true thanks
