I noticed there were no instructional videos on how to put a stone crab trap together and get it ready to put in the water. So, I decided to make one for you. Enjoy and hope this video has helped you.

Thanks for the video! I'm just getting started putting together my traps and this was very helpful
Thanks for taking time to make the vid...very helpful!
Thank you. Saved me a lot of time.
Scary Gary here the piano player from the keys you should have mentioned who taught you all this cool stuff The world's funkiest drummer now that Clyde stummel fields gone James Brown's old drummer You're the man upward and over
Scary Gary, how I miss your face soooo much! Who taught me?! I'm so glad you cam across this video! I hear that Cudjoe Sales sends everyone to watch it for instructions, ha. Now I need to stop by some time and set up an autograph table, lol. Dude, let's jam some time soon! I found ya on Facebook. Oh yea, don't forget to like the video and subscribe to my channel. I need to start getting paid for making all of these videos and that'll help!
very helpful thanks
I use the bowline knot. This is the best knot, and if tied properly, should never come undone. For my buoys, I tie them with a standard overhand knot. I've never had an issue.
As for the thieves, there really isn't much you can do. Unless you catch them in the act and report them immediately, I'm not sure there's anything else I can suggest. Make sure you always write your contact info on the traps and concrete though!
Next time tap the sides with a hammer , all u need is to vibrate the concrete enough to get rid of any air pockets that might weaken the structure ( gentle tapping with the hammer is sufficient) also a wire mesh within the concrete would of prolonged the life of the concrete structure.
You can get the plastic portion of the traps at almost any fish shop. Usually come in a 5 pack since that is the most you are supposed to have.
Thank you Mr. G! In Hobe Sound and about to deploy my new traps. What bait and how often do you check them?
Fish carcases = Check on them 3-4 days
Pigs Feet = Around a week or so
It really depends on the traffic your trap is getting but trial and error is your best bet in unfamiliar waters. Have fun!
The traps from B&D have a bait holder and I noticed you didn't have one. Did you just toss the bait in without a hold down? Line length recommendation - double the length you'll be fishing in so 15 foot depth you should have 30 feet of total line. Also, some add weights at 3-4 feet off buoy and another 1/2 way down the line to prevent prop from wrapping large line sections. Do you agree?
+thomas dee I just tossed the bait in there since there is nothing there to hold it down. As for line length, I will only add a couple feet to what the highest tide is in that area. If you make it too long, you risk a prop cutting it off or tangling up an animal. As for the weights, what you see my putting on the line is all you need. You shouldn't have to worry about the slack getting tangled at low tide I would think.
Your videos were really helpful. Im getting ready to lay my traps. Having trouble with the rope , just bought polyproplene rope and im afraid its not going to hold? what kind of rope did you use? also Im worried about the commercial guys stealing my traps :-( its happend to alot of other Recreational crabbers in my area. Any tips on that ? thank you sarah
Were do you get the plastic to make the trap with?
Thanks. What is the best bait?
Fish carcasses!!
Thanks for the vids. Audio isn’t working on this video for me.
Nvm I reloaded the page and now audio works.
@@MrTarponio I'm glad this video was able to help you!!
just wondering why you cant just hve a plastic bottom.
It needs to be able to sink and lay flat
DONT USE YOUR HAND
