Exellent idea! i used to be a commercial crabber and i built traps like that but on a bigger scale and the 4 openings were made of wire mesh tapered funnels that went in and up at an angle its hard to explain any way great job.
TheBuckness From the Big Island of Hawaii we are currently having a devastation of lava here & it ruined lots of great fishing an speardiving spots. But I made the crab traps to use to catch our crabs here. I use it to catch Ulua fishes at night. It helps alot, really simple a easy to get together🙏
Here in Washington we go wading at low tide and use a plastic manure rake or a pitchfork to scoop up dungeness crab. It is illegal to puncture the crab here. It works really good. Try it out.
love it!!! I hate smoking but your reply made my sides hurt I was laughing so hard!!! love your trap. thought it was a joke at first but the trap doors are pretty cool
yes it is....this is not a trap you leave for several days....this trap you check every 30 min or so like you would a normal crab "drop net"....then you just let the small ones go
are you sure the crabs will push the doors open because in my experience they don't know how to do that yet.I do like a basket trap better to be honest with you and I smoke Marlboro 100s in case anybody was interested.so how do you compare you're trap with a basket trap?????? thank you for your response sir
I'm going to try this. I have a jet boat that isn't really appropriate for fishing and such. There is very little deck space. I think I could create a bunch of these and make them so that they can nest together and take up very little space. Thank you for your submission. Now monetize this video so that you can make some bread my brutha!
That looks great. I just don't think that it is legal to use in Maryland since there is no way for the crabs to escape if the trap is lost or abandoned. I bet it would catch a bunch of crabs too :(
that's my same concern to.. i would think that's classed as a pot and not a trap, what we use when we go is a 1 ft cube size where all 4 sides lay down on the sea floor and it's literally an underwater platform, we zip tie a neck in the middle and run the 30 of them your allowed, use steal wires to attatch to the doors, then they hook to a 1-1.5" swivel and then attach the rope to the swivel, and use a 1 foot piece of a swimming noodle as a float, we're going to give running a trot line a try atleast once this year and see how good we do with that, may try the western side of the bay bridge a couple times, usually run kent narrows, but nothing beats wye river crabs they are hands down the best
+Joseph Evans I didn't write nor vote for the legislation so you'd have to take that up with the state of Florida. For details on what is legal visit their website.

Perfect size, I made 3 of these using the same bike baskets & ideas. Works great. Thank you 🙏
Thanks so much!...What state are you in?....Fla here.

Nice
Thank You
Looking at your hair cut I'm not surprised you had a bike basket in your backyard 🤣🤣
so smart!!! :)
I just found this video - pure genius! Can anyone please tell me how the doors were installed?
yes...just make the door slightly bigger than the opening, install them on the inside of the trap using zip ties...... but dont zip them too tight
@@TheBuckness Thank you so much, Need to go find some bicycle baskets!
Does it work
Ill try to make one tnx
what is the best bait to use to catch any kind of crab?
One of those guys who always has a cigarette going
and youre one of those guys who just cant keep his big mouth shut
Did you use zip ties on the door and is there a spring on the bottom or just the zip ties on top?
George Clooney is that you?
why yes....yes it is :)
Easiest i have seen on youtube to make
Well done
thank you....good luck!
Awesome response
yes..its.legal!.:))
vid of the results??
LOOKS GOOD BUT DOES IT CATCH ANY CRABS?
love it!!! I hate smoking but your reply made my sides hurt I was laughing so hard!!!
love your trap. thought it was a joke at first but the trap doors are pretty cool
not legal in Louisiana - no escape hole for undersize crabs.
yes it is....this is not a trap you leave for several days....this trap you check every 30 min or so like you would a normal crab "drop net"....then you just let the small ones go
Will you be making an Oceans 14?
Thx
it is illegal because the small ones cant get out I know I'm a crabber but still a good idea does it work
Good stuff!
thanks!
are you sure the crabs will push the doors open because in my experience they don't know how to do that yet.I do like a basket trap better to be honest with you and I smoke Marlboro 100s in case anybody was interested.so how do you compare you're trap with a basket trap??????
thank you for your response sir
Does it work? Can u show It working?

great video and idea, it will be interesting to see it in action!
thank you!

Pretty cool for homemade. If you like catching crabs, check out the video on youtube for the Floor Door Crab Trap.
great job repurposing but may I say you need at least 1 escape ring and a chamber and funnels would help
a little bit small
HAHAHA! Great reply!
Smokin destroys your lungs
Lets see ya catch sum crabs
That looks great. I just don't think that it is legal to use in Maryland since there is no way for the crabs to escape if the trap is lost or abandoned. I bet it would catch a bunch of crabs too :(

Awesome! Now just stop smokeing and you'll be on your way!
где результат?
That should work well. Unfortunately that trap is not legal for recreational crabbing in Florida.
+nunya biznez why not in fl.
+Joseph Evans I didn't write nor vote for the legislation so you'd have to take that up with the state of Florida. For details on what is legal visit their website.
Who's Al?
Hey man you just give me an idea.thanks
you are welcome.......good luck!
With you tube its all about showmanship
So why can't you go two minutes without a cigarette?
Chris Dugmore Calm the hell down, maybe the cigarette is part of the showmanship. Unbunch your panties and let people be
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII AM A MAN. OF CONSTANT SORROOOOOOW
lol...what does that mean??
You remind me of Cloony in brother where art tho you have the same voice
oh ok....hahahahaha...well I guess thats cool :)
its a compliment. was trying to say you have a soothing voice in a way that is not able to be misconstrued as flirtatious .
lol..well ty....you are awesome! :)
...The first word in a sentence is always capitalized. So are proper names, like, "Einstein"...which YOU misspelled...( We've got the blind leading the blind, here).
with no results in the video. What's the point =/
use your imagination for the results....lol
bunker would work great... BTW, serious crabbers LAUGH at people who use chicken... fish is the way to go.
demo p[ls\
Learn fist..try u best
