We've had a lot of rain this summer and every time it rains the Conowingo Dam opens it's drains to let water out. When this happens it drains 1,000s of pounds of trash to the Chesapeake Bay. This trash isn't just destructive to the environment, but also to the boats that use the Chesapeake Bay. I have spent $1,000s on repairs to my boat from trash that I have sucked up or hit. If you ever see trash while boating, please pull it out of the water.

You are such an Amazing guy and I love your attitude, you are amazing and one of a kind, smile more.
Even in the video where you say you should be wearing your sunglasses more, you hardly wear your sunglasses. It's more important on the overcast days. You want cataracts? Because that's how you get cataracts.
Contact a local artist about making one of those cut-out backdrops that you stick your head through for pictures .. put out a donation bucket for the pictures?
I have this cartoon image of you standing in a boat, holding a giant crab, with holes in both you and the crab for people to stick their faces through.
Can I use this code for 50% off that 85 dollar hoodie😂😂
My son and I, drove three hours up to see you. You made it the best time because you took time to talk to us. We had a great time. Luke is a very genuine person and you took a few minutes out of your day to talk to us and everyone that came by, that makes a difference. Thanks Luke and fam
My brother is a PE structural engineer in Glen Burnie currently working on the new dam and the solutions Luke. Don’t worry he’s the smartest guy I know, he’ll fix it. His father in law is a local commercial crabber, we gon clean it up just takes a ton of time and money inside all the red tape!
To Luke's point, it would be nice if they can clean up that junk while it's stopped at the dam...before it just gets flushed into the Bay. The Chesapeake isn't a toilet...but they're treating it like one. Hope your brother can help them do something about that! (The crabs, crab cakes & people who eat them will be grateful 😄!)
He knows a way to change low class people who litter?
I agree with you my family and freinds crab and drive trucks@Hugh-fs1qn
You guys rock! I love that you include the family including the animals.
@Hugh-fs1qn your wrong it is!!
16:16 if it sounds like bacon, you're welding...
If it smells like bacon, you're on fire.
🤣😂🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓
good to know
You kids are amazing. Don't ever lose that chemistry.
Luke, a panic attack is part of being an entrepreneur! We cans get away from it. We stress when it’s slow we stress when it’s busy! You’re doing great! Avoid the drink buddy, it can sneak up on you! Be proud of yourself! We are all proud of you!👍👍👍
Debris is a massive problem. Unfortunately it starts here around major rivers around cities that can’t keep up with the rain or trash and it all drains into the major waterways and heads out. As someone that was raised to always “leave a place better than when you found it” it’s always so draining to see the new generation less responsible and less educated. Some of us are caretakers, and some could care less..unfortunately it’ll always be the hardest to change one into another.
As someone who has done that 35:30 I feel fulfilled. As long as the person or business I traveled a long way to see is like they are on the internet. And maybe if not busy will take a photo, yes! It’s the best to support those people you enjoy!
I live in northern Michigan, it's a 10hr drive to Glen Burnie MD . I have plans for a road trip next summer to come see the DoraLynn, get some crabs, then take em home! Keep hammering em Luke n Lyndsey!!!
Drop some off for me in Flint on your way back!
I’m in northern Michigan too. Only it takes me 11 hours just to get to Detroit! 😂. I wish I could meet Luke and get some crab too!
I'm from Australia and thus will never do a road trip where stopping by your crab stand is possible. But have no doubts if you were in my path and I took a little detour and even planned a stay where I could cook and feast on the crabs I would be so fulfilled by the experience of meeting you guys and eating some of your crabs. You're quality warm hearted genuine people making great content and people are thrilled just to be their little part of it, whether customer or online supporter
In that space that you were talking about at the stand, you could put a chest refrigerator like they have at bars with a slide open tops. Then you could keep crabs cold and prepackaged. Even an old ice cream holding freezer could work. Then you can just take them out and hand them to the customers. Then the crabs stay cold so they’re more likely to survive. Also, if you can find a deal on a commercial ice maker, you could keep that at your house so you don’t have to buy ice on those hot days.
Salt and ice cream go together well. This is why many people enjoy dipping their Wendy's fries in a Softee. However for me the best combination is one my Dad ate a lot when I was a kid which was pretzels dipped in ice cream. The pretzel needs to be thick enough that it won't snap easily and the ice cream needs to soften up for a few minutes but that combo of a good pretzel and vanilla ice cream is so simple and delicious.
6:06 I believe that's an airbag they put between pallets on a truck. They use them to even out the load and so the pallets don't fall. But I could be wrong
I have inflated many of these and shoved them into shipping containers to help prevent pallets shifting during shipping.
agreed
I have removed a bunch from in between appliances in a trailer
Yes it’s a airbag we use them to lock our loads of pallets of paper in on rail cars
@PupperSophia exactly 💯
You understand the Conowingo issue better than 99% of people. Impressive.
The thing you found on your hawk. Looks like a Dunage bag used inside shipping containers to prevent things from rolling around. A big inflatable bag essentially.
I have been using the dash of my truck scene 1984 to heat my lunch up,summer winter all year round. Never have I ever been sick from doing it. I'm glad to see the younger kids doing things that just make scene.
Grew up in glen burnie/pasadena until I was 11 and then spent the summers there - crabbing and fishing with my grandfather and dad. So many great memories that your videos bring back. You’re doing an amazing job!
That's an airbag. When we load a diesel trailer, we put those air bags between the trailer wall and our pallets so they won't shift in transit. The yellow tab is where we inflate them.
In your "free time," weld up a couple triangular pieces to strengthen the yoke of the trailer that was structurally weakened by the large circle voids left by removing the old jack. See tomorrow morning for more delicious crabs!
Regulations are the entire reason your fishery didn't collapse in the 80s. The entire point of the license and catch limit is to give them a more accurate estimate of how much of the population is removed, then correlating that to the dredge report.
That and a convenient excuse for the government to grub more money out of people who're already strapped for it.... There's gotta be a way to do all the positive stuff without the extortion and red tape.
Same thing over here in Virginia in our Rivers. Anything from the West from the mountains come straight down to us. Literally whole trees trash and all of the runoff plus the sewage plants overflowing. They literally shut the James River down multiple times every year for sewage contamination. You're very right and thank you for trying to get some knowledge to people and get some help
Do you think those whole trees were not present prior to the dams?
Same in eastern Kentucky. We get all of western virginias trash and debris
You could put a big map up so people from out of town can put a pin in where they’re from.
Not to mention the 125 million gallons of raw sewage dumped as the local water plants cannot cope and relief valve systems dump the excess into local rivers….keep it up Luke! Thanks, Andrew
That’s propaganda… there are strict restrictions on sewage disposal
Aaaw. That sucks. It’s not just the poop. It’s the pharmaceuticals like estrogen replacement, chemotherapy and ssri drugs etc etc that don’t break down in the public water filtration process .
Why would anyone want to eat anything out of that water? Cooked or not
@@KA-om9oz well, I love the taste of blue crab, and I applaud Luke’s education and drive to fix the problem… but I can’t say he’s not reducing his customer base by pointing out the situation.
Thanks Baltimore 👍
We visited from NC. Appreciated how nice everyone was and Luke took the time to get a pick.
I remember the days when there was grass in just about every creek and river from Back Creek to the Magothy.
We drove from ky two yrs in a row. Met Luke last year and his mom this yr. Bought t-shirts both years. I’m a big fan.
October is my favorite month for landscaping too.
Great video as always Luke!
Put an apple air tag on each float. 😂😂😂
That will cost too much
We came through a couple weeks ago from ocean city to wv/PA, (we found out that we were both born in the same hospital , lol!) Just getting to see yall, and say hi! And buy a shirt! All was totally enough.. you, your mom and your wife are both soooo cool and sooo kind! We were so happy and impressed that we stopped!! And super excited when we left. I’m still excited today - the only thing I wish is that I had the guts to ask for a pic with you!! Haha! It’s an awesome experience. you will grow with time . I think what you’re doing is fantastic. !!!! ❤❤❤❤
Hope all is going well, Luke. I have been rocking the DESPERADO shirt since I got it! Stay safe, and God bless you, and crew!
Tajin tastes good on ice cream so I would think the crab seasoning tastes good too!
I’ve been seeing a lot of dead rock fish, I crab right next to the key bridge. I have been seen them for the last month floating around. Not to mention all the trash too.
1
Pa guy here. we flood bad here as well. The amount of trash/debris in our creeks and rivers is insane. Storms flood my town of downingtown regularly. Unfortunately shit rolls down hill and you’re at the very bottom. Can only do our part to keep our stretches of rivers clean!
Buckram is a stiff fabric used to back and stiffen hats, collars, bodices and to cover books.
I would imagine the Smith Islanders thought the paper shells texture was like buckram.
It’s an old fashioned word so it makes sense it’s still found on the Island.
Put a little oil on the hole saw next brother 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍
I went to 7333 east furnase branch road and bought a dozen. I did not want to be a big fan boy, but I loved the crabs! Even made crab om;etes the next day!
I stopped by the weekend before Labor Day weekend to say hi and buy a shirt. I ended up having a good chat with Luke about VA dredging the mouth of the bay in the winter. Also bought a Desperado shirt with the QR code at the stand. My visit was fulfilled and I will be back to buy some soft crabs.
For visitors of the crab stand, as someone who's traveled to visit random youtube channel destinations. It's ALWAYS really cool to pick up something unique. Something not for sale on the merch store or whatever. Would be really cool to have a memento that says like [crab stand] (current year), have it stamped out of some old tags or metal ribbon or something and have it available to buy. Put some love into it and those people will never forget the experience, or you.
Still remember catching huge catfish below the dam on the weekends when I was stationed at USNTC Bainbridge ( now deactivated) at Port Deposit during the late 60's
What a small world. My dad was an instructor for Naval Nuclear Power School at NTC Bainbridge in the early 70’s. He would take me to a pier at Port Deposit to fish. I caught many a bluegill and fat cats fishing off that pier. Good times for a young boy ! Tight lines friend ! 🎣
@@USNVA11 yeah...good memories. Now I'm 78 and catching red snapper in the Philippines. Go figure....
Luke, I was wondering if there is any way I could buy one or two of the shot glasses that you talked about in an earlier video, I live In Mississippi and I watch your videos with in minutes of them coming out, you are by far one of my top favorite TH-camrs ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Literally one of the only sponsored advertisements in anyone's videos that I've actually watched. Made me hungry.
+1 for Turkey Hill ice cream.
Here in Arizona and it's all we buy. Krogers carries it, and we're so grateful.
I think it would be cool to have a cookout one day a month. You'll need an outside kitchen for people come and buy crabs and cook them right there. People can share their recipes, have taste tests, best crab recipe, ect. I would imagine parking would be an issue but other than that it'd be really cool to do.
Sounds like that dam needs a Trash wheel.... John?!???? Did you hear that??? We need another wheel for trash John 😂
When I was a kid , 1972 hurricane Agnes came , my dad had a old Chris craft out of Deale md , it took 2 people to run the boat , and 1 too keep look out for debris , poles , refrigerator, all kinds of stuff , and one to steer
Thank you for sharing some of your by-catch with us like the small fish and the catfish. I enjoy learning about all the marine critters in your zone, but my focus will forever be on the crabs 🦀 :D
Jay Fleming has a book called Island Life- I believe, his photography is stellar.
That "tarp" that you picked up off that float is actually a big air bag that is used in shipping containers to help keep things from moving, or its called an air pillow. I work at dunlop boots in Havre de Grace and alot of the containers that we get that come from over seas have them air pillows in them
22:15 - YOU PUT THOSE SUNGLASSES BACK ON!
I think you should do picnic tables in the back and have some cooked crabs on the side and sell crab trays and maybe set up a couple little games in the back like horseshoes or cornhole and the back section by the trailer there
6:06
It's an inflatable bag specifically used to secure/brace freight and pallets on trailers
Bro, I live in south central OK. We were digging water lines to my sons new house and we cut a line that we knew was close and the first thing that came to mind was “if u don’t cut a water line doing the most simple task, u ain’t no crabber” lol
50-55 years ago I was a young person living on the Ohio river. After storms my dad would take us kids out in a Jon boat to pull things out of the flooded waters. We would pull propane tanks, campers and all sorts of stuff out It was a nasty mess
I see all kinds of treasure floating downstream but tis mostly from marinas. I have seen entire pontoons still tied to a dock and unmanned jet skis floating down the river 🤣 You should see how clean it is now. We boat up river from Cincinnati and the Kentucky shoreline is clean, sandy and clear. We haven't had much rain at all this year but there is 4ft visibility and tons of people swimming, tubing, and skiing. Downriver from the city not so much lol.
Wake up one morning I'll be dead, or blind...or both. 🤣 The water is pretty green...That is some Good Quality H2o!
Luke said the word "Crab" 78 times in this entire video I turned it into a drinking game I am beyond drunk right now please don't say the word Crab anymore lol
Wish you would have got to meet Chef Jean-Paul, down here in Louisiana if you’re a hunter or fisherman who cooks your own game, you know who he is. Dude is a killer chef, and his series Duck Camp Dinners is amazing, I highly recommend it.
Throw a lil chic-fil-a strategy at it and go out into the line and start getting peoples orders while they are standing in line so they are ready when they get to the front. Or have them text their order from the line with their name so it's bagged up when they get to the front. Keep doing good things man!
I also work in an industry where a lot of the folks making choices haven't ever really done the work. It's tons of fun. Keep it up youngen
Definitely should have renamed the boat “family affair”…i understand the Dora lynn has history behind it, but you could create your own history for the family affair. 🤷🏼♂️ I’m in the 757 area of Va, gonna have to drive the 2 hours to Glen burnie one weekend and check y’all out! Love the videos bro! Keep up the good work! The end when you put the seasoning on ice cream had me dyin. 😂😂
Luke, the weird thing is an air bag they use inside shipping containers and semi trailers to prevent cargo from tipping over.
If Luke is constructing, I’m watching! Always a great video when Luke uses actual hammers not for their intended purpose! Thanks for the educational content!
Oh, I know exactly where I'm getting my crabs this year. I'm in Glen Bummie twice a week.
Put out crab bake, seafood sauce,etc.to sell alongside your crab sells ! That should offset some operation costs and your lady could do that part while you are out to sea ! 😊
Used to work out of Hudson. Proud of you for pulling the big stuff out
They have a propeller with blades on it to cut strings and bags and nets.
It's a line cutter and it goes on the shaft. It's not part of the prop. That only helps from getting line tangled in your running gear, and they have their limits. It does nothing to prevent plastic bags getting sucked into your raw water intake.
Yo our boy got a factor sponsorship WOO!!!!
Remember when Herring used to come up into all these creeks? My grandfather used to take the prisoners from Lorton prison fishing. They'd catch their own food. It was a working farm for years. Not sure when the dam was built. But I'd guess it wasn't up when he was taking them fishing. He'd tell me you could just dip the net and fill it up! He loved the roe! Breakfast, some bacon and some herring roe! 😂 he loved that suff! Yuck for me.
We are thinking of driving to Florida from CT and want to get some crabs on our return trip. I can't get soft crabs up here and miss them after being in N.C. in April. They were great!
G’day mate from Australia. Keep up the positive attitude brother. Your beautiful wife and you are a great inspiration. Keep up the great work! Love it! 🇦🇺🇺🇸. Brothers in arms.
Imagine this: All the neighborhood dogs crap in your front yard. It's a mess. Then the HOA fines the homeowner--not the dog owners. The dam isn't the problem. The pollution is coming from the upper watershed, which the dam owners have no ability to control. Shouldn't the upper watershed pay to clean up their pollution?
I say "Yes." Let's get to work
Looks like a Shipping Air Bag to keep Freight from Moving in Trailers/Containers
That 2nd cat fish is actually called a bullhead it in the same family as the white catfish
Agree. Brown bullhead I think.
8:23 yeah from me not wearing glasses being in a boat skimming or crabbing my eyes or getting bad I see spots now
I lived Virginia beach in the early 70s and there was never that much trash in the bay. ugh that's horrible
Keep working hard young man. Trust your instincts.
The “tarp” is a dunnage bag used for securing freight in a semi truck
those bags go in between pallets on cargo trucks to keep everything from swaying and falling over
You gotta set up some cornhole and other yard games for people just to hang out in the back of the lot!
You better keep your sunglasses on there he rolled when you can't see a crab to catch it.. I put my sunglasses on all the way on to the end of the day I never take them off if I can keep from doing it. There was a lot of Old-Timers around here that had cataracts from working out in the sun
Don't know about east coast bay fishing but here in west coast we run keel coolers on the boats, also with you kill box you could add refrigerated sea water set of coils and a a/c pump you wouldn't have to buy ice anymore. With your trap tank you have hydros why not run hydraulic pumps to feed your tank?
that tarp lookin deal was an air bag for shipping containers to stop the product from falling during transport
There's a snowball stand in middle river that puts old bay on some of their flavors lol
The Duck Camp series on the Meateater channel is fantastic and it's a shame you didn't meet him. I'll be looking forward to the episode with your crabs. I'd encourage everyone to check him out. Cajun themed, but he's a legitimate first class chef.
You should buy some massive huge magnets to drag behind (OLE GAL --- WEEBO) and see what kinda goodies you end up coming across. Look at it this way, you'd be cleaning up the bay one drag at a time and then whatever metal comes up attached to the magnet you can add to a pile and either keep for future projects or get a scrap pile going to take to the recycling center and then use that money to put back into the boat that you have to restore unfortunately sooner than later but you'll have a little bit of funds to go into it to help out
If people are coming to the crab stand to come to the crab stand, get a deal with a local food place so you can buy crabs and take them somewhere local to have them cooked immediately!!
Buckram is a stiff fabric used in hat making, probably has a similar feel to a paper’s shell. What a world.
Luke, you need to eventually setup a food truck stand (or Cooking Shack) where you steam/cook in addition to selling your live crabs. In meanwhile, loving your hustle! Wishing you all the best.
River debris sounds terrible. I hope they can fix the dam problems.
Your talent for fixing and welding is cool to watch.
Another great video.
I dont know if we can get factor in Canada. We have hello fresh and chefs plate. For dinnertime meals to make yourself.
High wind will throw plastic paper etc in the water which will be sucked up by the boats water engine intake and over heat the engine. That happened to my boat. I use to have a 24ft SeaRay with dual engine
Damn crabs! They’re just so delicious we can’t resist spending way too much money and time and resources to go get them! You would think we would just leave them alone but we can’t 😂 greetings from a fellow bay brother. You have so much support!
@5:53 Looks like an inflatable bag used to stabilize a load in a semi trailer.
I can definitely see you having a fleet of boats and multiple distributors. I wish more young people had your motivation. 👍
Nets on sticks for the garbage. Fishing nets on STICKS for garbage collecting.
I'm sure you already bought one but I have owned every damn brand of weedwackers and I have been unbelievably impressed with the black max trimmer that you can use all the attachments from the other brands which is awesome. I got mine on clearance for $65 and it has been perfect for 3 years now and I have bought 5 different attachments and they work awesome.
No better feeling than a new trailer jack 😂
Another great video. Keep up the great attitude. Hope you get to a million subscribers soon. Hope everyone has a great and safe holiday weekend.
Crab season and seafood Seasoning Is great sweet corn. I've always soaked my corn in water with seasoning.
Love jp! Duck camp dinners is my favorite TH-cam series!
They find the scumbags yet?
I got my Desperado shirt yesterday! I'm going to wear it tomorrow!
