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.
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
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
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!
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
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.

Great idea !!! will try it !

Tight.. I will try installing the trap doors on my existing crab traps.. Great idea.. I get tired of the crabs getting back out my trap...Thanks..
I made a very similar trap and BOY DOES IT WORK! THANKS FOR THE IDEA!
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.

Very nice video. Thanks for sharing brother
Very very beautiful specially that u get in no get out !

Thanks for sharing!
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!
Awesome!!
Great idea
Looking at your hair cut I'm not surprised you had a bike basket in your backyard 🤣🤣
NICEEEE... JOB WELL DONE A+ AND AN A FOR CREATIVITY...
One of those guys who always has a cigarette going

Ill try to make one tnx
Did you use zip ties on the door and is there a spring on the bottom or just the zip ties on top?
what is the best bait to use to catch any kind of crab?
when one comes in why won't the others run through the door to escape? :)
theyre too busy eating the bait! :)
Easiest i have seen on youtube to make
Well done
thank you....good luck!
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
Good stuff!
thanks!

love your trap. thought it was a joke at first but the trap doors are pretty cool
George Clooney is that you?
why yes....yes it is :)

LOOKS GOOD BUT DOES IT CATCH ANY CRABS?
great video and idea, it will be interesting to see it in action!
thank you!
ty
Does it work? Can u show It working?
Pretty cool for homemade. If you like catching crabs, check out the video on youtube for the Floor Door Crab Trap.
vid of the results??
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!
Awesome response
yes..its.legal!.:))
Thx
great job repurposing but may I say you need at least 1 escape ring and a chamber and funnels would help
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

Awesome! Now just stop smokeing and you'll be on your way!
HAHAHA! Great reply!
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.
Smokin destroys your lungs

Who's Al?
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

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).
bunker would work great... BTW, serious crabbers LAUGH at people who use chicken... fish is the way to go.
