Love the snails. I had a saltwater tank with nassasarious (I spelled it wrong) snails in it. They looked the same but were smaller than these snails. All that you would see of them was a tiny breathing tube sticking up above the sand. But when I fed the fish... oh, my. As soon as the food hit the water, the snails would be out of the sand and looking for the eats. Fun to watch and good memories, thanks!
cool video, I used to use chicken with a wire, string and a net in the 70's ... caught many in those rivers.... free old chicken from the A&P in little silver and catch 30 or more in about 3 hours.... man that was fun stuff.
Cool video, thanks. I'm just north of the Highlands bridge and I see those snails devour the fish fillets in not time. I usually use bunker but have to hang it high in the trap to keep it away from the snails. What kind of camera were you using? Even with underwater sound..that was great. Thanks..
+PALIN SMITH thanks for your positive comment! So appreciated. It gets "hits" when people watch the video. That's how it works on RUclips. Kind of simple. You. Stupid. Moron.
+bobthezee I'm going to subscribe because i liked what it was about. It taught me about what happens in your trap. It really did not matter if the quality was bad or not.
This is fascinating to me because I love crab and it's expensive and I've been thinking about crabbing. A lot of people do it here and then have it cooked for them and it's SO good!
yea chicken necks are better, and what we use in ours is a metal coat hanger thats shaped kinda like a safety pin almost and that slides right through the necks bones so they cant steal the neck
yeah, you're right. Metal traps are "a loser." That's why our traps are now made of straw. We had some made of butter, but they melted away. And then we tried ice cream, but kind of the same thing happened. We had some traps made out of girls' tears, but they got stolen. And once, at band camp, we made traps out of human hair, but not just any human hair.
Those snail things look like they come straight from a horror movie
Use fresh fish for bait. You'll catch 10X the crabs.
You Guys Make a Great Team . god Bless
+deermeatfordinner we try fish as well. chicken holds up better. crabs run off with pieces of fish.
bobthezee yeah use drum sticks
deermeatfordinner is the best video.ever filled

i like how ya use a trap where they can stroll in, eat, and walk right back out lol
yeah, that's the idea of a trap, vs. a pot. adds the element of skill to it... having to pull the trap rather than just pick it up in 24 hours.
cool video, I used to use chicken with a wire, string and a net in the 70's ... caught many in those rivers.... free old chicken from the A&P in little silver and catch 30 or more in about 3 hours.... man that was fun stuff.
My dad taught me to leave the chicken out to rot the day before. We always caught alot that way. Does it make a difference if you dont.
+Billy Celli we believe that fresh chicken is better.

sorry for late reply. okay, very late reply. go pro camera. mid level version.
HEY, HEY, HEY
The fish that comes into frame around 1:58 is a juvenile Black Sea Bass
What kinda camera are you using? Awesome resolution.
+Don Jon it's the mid quality GoPro... a good product!
Fix the trap doors, bro...
All that for no crabs?
I have a pet spider crab
not very good design of crab trap 2nd problem FISH IS THE BEST BAIT
i would just lay a trap and have a live feed so i know when i have a crab or crabs or not
+Nick Larosa that would be great.... a little costly, but great.
WHERE YOU USEING CHICKEN FOR BAIT ?
+Aldo Mancini yes. chicken. very common. we actually use chicken necks now. not sure why they perform better, but they do.
A pitifully poor video. How did it get so many hits?
+PALIN SMITH thanks for your positive comment! So appreciated. It gets "hits" when people watch the video. That's how it works on RUclips. Kind of simple. You. Stupid. Moron.
+bobthezee you have no right to be rude to your subscribers... I'm reporting you
How To Liz: not sure that Palin Smith is a subscriber, but I only have two words for you: Go For It. I could really give two shits if you "report" me.
+bobthezee I'm going to subscribe because i liked what it was about. It taught me about what happens in your trap. It really did not matter if the quality was bad or not.
bobthezee go for it isn't two words you dumbo
Im not quite sure,but i thought I saw the lock ness monster in the backround
2:29 Hum de dum de dum......I just reach in here and steal me some of dis here chicken.
2:50 Crab be like Ummmmm nom nom oh yeah nom nom nom

DancesWithBears It's not that hard to cook.
Michael Donovan
Yeah, but I would have to catch it, sex it, size it, and then cook it.
+DancesWithBears you're going to "sex it?" I think that's illegal in 44 states.
bobthezee
Not anymore. Now the State is promoting sex for everyone, even crabs.
I want all those snails for my aquarium!!
i never had much success with those traps, i had far more success with tying a chicken neck to a long string
Trolling magothy severna park
Great video! Looking forward To more of your Videos!
thats why you use chicken necks
yea chicken necks are better, and what we use in ours is a metal coat hanger thats shaped kinda like a safety pin almost and that slides right through the necks bones so they cant steal the neck
we moved onto necks. agree that they are better. not sure why, but just about everyone agrees
Fish turns and looks at camera and is like "it feels good to be a gangster "
Great video. Those mud snails love the bait too.
cute crabbys.
Use fresh fish
VERY cool!
nice job
Blue claw crabs are stronger than spider crabs and blue crabs are faster
and make better pets.
It's legal to fish/crab off a bridge in NJ? They don't allow it here in CA
+alexkg1 yes. most bridges. there will be signs if it's not allowed.
bobthezee That's pretty awesome! I've always wanted to try fishing off a bridge.
There's spider crab in NJ?
kill em
I caught a bunch today...good eatin!
same
+NJ UNDERGROUND really? don't know anyone that eats spider crabs.
+Mike McGrath yes. not too many. catch more in the beginning of the season (june) than rest of year.
are the snails eating the meat
+Leon Damian Xiong . yes. I believe they are eating the meat. but at their size, it might take them 100 years.
Metal traps are a loser. They jam shut, they jam open, and if there is a strong current they stay closed.
yeah, you're right. Metal traps are "a loser." That's why our traps are now made of straw. We had some made of butter, but they melted away. And then we tried ice cream, but kind of the same thing happened. We had some traps made out of girls' tears, but they got stolen.

1:18 A lot of hermit crab on the sea floor
+Tyler Benton Little mollusks called Nassarius snails. Crabs do take their shells sometimes though.
Oh, thanks
wow that much snails there anywhere!! :D
