Put a zip tie on the end that does not have the clip. You will never have to worry about it coming apart or losing part of it. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxxvthjLYk8bJwhOkjNsLvPwnSKZmnHeT1 The diameter of the holes are about 2 1/2". They can still get out if there is no bait in the trap. You can also use a zip tie to keep the bait in place. I use a can of Sardines in oil with hole punched in it wired to the bottom and then loose Chicken or fish. This keeps them there longer, but if left long enough the trap will be empty. I learned this the hard way. I threw the trap in and watched it aMost fill up. Like a dummy, I got greedy, when I came back in an hour, all were gone except four. Good buy for the money!
Dude... lube your drive 😂 And I use a pair of well built tongs with rubber coated heads to gently wiggle them out of the pot when they are stuck, I don’t ever worry about getting grabbed... once was enough for me.
Cleaning house the last day of the crab season! Ah geez I'm starting to get hungry... Sure thought you hooked up on a Chinook there for a second. Thanks for the video :-)
Add a few ounces of weight to the doors of trap so wave action doesn't open them as easily. Bait wise can blend up fish heads and freeze it in a water bottle and remove and put inside..might work-
I do not know why this gig guy would do an educational video and not be prepared. Having a 10 pot lobster permit in Massachusetts, we always were prepared/ready to rebait our traps. I also would not throw back legal size crabs or lobsters. The video was interesting looking at the various crab traps out there fishing. But I would not be throwing the old bait overboard and not rebating. It is not cost effective. I just bought a crab trap from The Bass Pro Shop. I love it!
Were you actually out on the water for over 6 hours?? Or, did you go in to shore for part of the time? If you were on the kayak the entire time, you are an animal!
the custom trap didn't do so well because it's a lot smaller, and you don't seem like you secure your bait very much and they dangle around, so the crabs can reach from outside and just never go in. the larger Danielson has much more room for error because its wider, even if the bait moves, it is still likely in the center of the pot. you should secure the bait so that it doesn't move at all so the crabs HAVE to go inside to get at it.
Can someone just give me the short answer? I’m at the store right now tryna choose between a crab pot or a square crab trap. I don’t have 20 minutes to listen to this whole video.

Nice haul! Did anyone else notice the fire on shore at 3:40?

LOL
Good crabbing late in season. Looked like a big fire (in background) near the harbor; last Thursday?
One of the best videos man. I love catching crabs at the Oregon coast, but love to go out and do what you did. Lovely video bro!
Man that pedal drive sounds like it can use a good oiling.
LOL
🤣🤣😅
Turn the trap upside down and shake over the side. Works best usually.
What's really funny is that I make those pots 😂😂😂 glad to see that you like it.
Do you still sell these pots? I’m really interested in the small one
@@Uncutescapes they let off some employees when Covid spiked and I parted ways having little in savings but I believe so
@@jonahmoore5228 sorry to hear that and thank you

Okay okay, too busy fishing and get home too tired. Forgetting to grease the peddle is only human but fishing for 6 hours is a beast! Great vid!
Dude that's nothing it's called passion of fishing!! I can go on for the whole day AND night till 5 in the morning!
3:41 You could hear the sirens and see the smoke plume. What the heck was on fire other than the action?
Over the year I have figured out which trap works best: it's the one that you watch like a hawk.
(all other pots are either raided or stolen)
According to the CADFW website the season is open until July 30th. Not sure where you got today as the last day?
You look like a nice guy, thanks for making this good content
If you want them to let go of the pot just the pot in the water and swish it around a bit. That usually loosens them up.
Was that a fire at the harbor? @3:40 Nice video too. ;)
Fire in a boat storage yard. 2 storage containers. www.hmbreview.com/news/fire-put-down-in-princeton/article_8cd9c8bc-bafe-11ea-8656-4b3abc6d46e3.html

Adam what was the swell height and duration that day June 30th? Looked like I would be able to take a small boat out on a day like that.
the big difference i see in fishing a kayak or a boat is you better not make sudden moves !!! i'll stick to my boat . your a great fisherman!
To get crabs to let go of the trap.. flip the pot upside down.. they will hang on a little bit but easier to get them off that way👍
That fog horn tells me you must be in half-moon bay!
Great vid!! You are getting me through quarantine
anyone see the huge plume of smoke. something is on fire at the water front
I'm over on the east coast on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland and I can just imagine you looking at blue crab size and laughing 😂
still though, caught a couple monsters over here in Texas that were over 1 lb. and a handful of big ones over 350 g. (about 3/4 lb)
how deep did you drop the crab trap?
whats the smoke in the back ground at 3:41
Sounds like a good night in a cheap Hotel.
🤣
were u out at capitola today? i might’ve seen u fishing.
Where do you put in at hmb?
what do you use canon eos rebel for?
I cannot listen to that drive with my eyes closed without laughing

I’ve heard if you just dip the crabs back in the water attached to the pot they will relax up
Damn Adam on X GAME MODE trying to keep up with the fish!
Where do you go crabbing?
Gotta try that sometime! Just got done trout fishing, vids coming. Maybe time to try for some crab! Thanks for the video. 👍🏻
Yo I was out there on the same day! Can tell from that gnarly fire. Did you get past the red tide?
Adam, another great video....thanks.
Liking the hat! Thanks for the video....it’s my little escape before setting up food for the day! Happy 4th 🇺🇸🎣
Nice video Adam. Not bad for crabbing of this late of the season. You will catch a salmon soon. Fish on. Stay safe fishing.
How much are those Crab Pots ?
To get those rock crabs to let go just submerge your trap for a few seconds and they will relax and let go.
13:25
Scale: (measures)
Crab: “So you’ve chosen death”
all you haft to do is rinse the pot kep it in the water around a 1 mint
I've never seen anyone peddle so fast :)
Great video! Love the crab videos!
I love 🦀 ♋ 🦀 ♋ 🦀 dude...i miss crabbing off half moon bay..waiting for my friend to go.
Are you gonna try rock fishing from shore?
You need a little trailer boat, just to carry traps
i like the custom pot u have because my danielson folder is a lil to clunky for my yak
Your videos are amazing !
Do you book your time to take tourist fishing in San Fran Bay?
Reach out and my son and I would be interested !
I need one of those traps here on the Chesapeake.
Bummer on the no chrome. Not even rally cap worked. Maybe rally thong?
Please oil what ever that is!!🙉 my guess is the fish can hear that squeaking😱
Do a Rock Crab vs Dungeness Crab battle and prove your theory!
Hopefully we can hookup one of these days...were old timers and love fishing...
I see heavy smoke and hear sirens so your pretty close to shore
Turn the trap upside down when the crabs hold on to the bottom. They will let go soon after.
Lubrication is your friend. Otherwise, good stuff!
I keep the bait as near the center as possible so they can't reach it from the outside. Ya gotta come in the restaurant to eat.
Oh shit I’m in eureka I’ll have to find that guy!
Were you actually out on the water for over 6 hours?? Or, did you go in to shore for part of the time? If you were on the kayak the entire time, you are an animal!
Those Dungeness and Rock Crabs seem much more docile than the Blue Crabs we have in Texas. I wish we had Dungeness crabs, but our Blue Crabs are MEAN.
Only in California where you can be fishing and have police sirens in the background
🔥 www.hmbreview.com/news/fire-put-down-in-princeton/article_8cd9c8bc-bafe-11ea-8656-4b3abc6d46e3.html
MY God - please oil them pedals, bet it puts the fish off! certainly puts me off (a bit)
Great day crabbing! Fishing has been tough for you! You should of went with Ish! He was on to them!
I think he was with Ish. On Ish's video you can see Adam assisting with a giant ling.
Ish had a more recent salmon catch video, Adam may have been there, but I did not see him in the video!
I dont ever limit out so all keepers goes in the belly.
Red, brown, dunggy..all good..
I want to see you hit over a 1,000,000.00
Shake the cage...we lost 1 crab cage out in half moon bay..swells were up, but we were DIE HARD...
If you tickle them they will let go of the trap!
Crab season ends July 30th just checked the California website
Check your areas.
Paul Speidell got it thanks

i live in Eureka
My Best Buddy just text me and he told me your you tube... Abe is my Bud for the longest time...
Pare lets go Pishing
Can someone just give me the short answer? I’m at the store right now tryna choose between a crab pot or a square crab trap. I don’t have 20 minutes to listen to this whole video.
as opposed to the title, it would seem that you dont really have anything to share, but you are just thinking out loud as the video rolls on....
What the HELL is that sound???????
Boss, for God's sake lube your kayak!!!
You wouldn't be handling blue crabs like that.
Don't you think it's time to lubricate those cuddles squeak squeak squeak very irritating
I used to supply CCP with their weldong gasses and stuff. Good folks over there. Thanks for supporting local businesses!
Hi
Hi
700 th like lets go
They all taste the same to me
Agree on the squeaking sounds like bed springs and detracts from attention to fishing
custom trap doesn't look too good.
You act like catching that Lingcod was no big deal. I've been trying to catch one of those for years.
that's annoying
