Watching that boat hit the waves reminds me of being in my grandpas net boat. That was over 40 years ago. Miss it a lot. Good memories. Continued luck to you!
I am considering getting a boat and trying my hand at crabbing? What type of boat should I get? Is it vary busy up in Myrtle beach? How do you know the best place to set traps?
Carolina skiffs are nice and a yahama motor, trial and error on setting traps mostly stay close to ocean especially during winter months but have to check them daily
Also myrtle beach doesn't have alot of places with boat landings you'd have to use the intercoastal water way boat landing most likely, or murrels inlet or cherry grove areas, hope that helped!
I inherited a commercial crabbing license from my grandfather. I live in Maryland and was thinking about buying around 10 pots to start out. Would I be able to catch enough crabs to sell? Any other tips would be helpful and appreciated. Thanks!
damn that sucks. No size limit in Florida and all that is asked, is that we leave the females alone. No license needed for blue crab. We have 1 week of no harvest and it alternates between the Gulf and Atlantic each year.
No sir every crab was measured to legal length did it for years and on another note how do you know the legal size where I am? Also I don't crab sort/cull anymore I fish for more profitable seafoods on my own.
He don't give a F.... Everything is a keeper!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Eagle eye
I can hear the crabs muttering....
"Oi! A couple of chatterboxes these two!"

that dude bringing the pots up is in great shape! yall got some nice crab pots full! wonder where you guys are crabbing at
Lexie Marie Ward thank you, we are in Charleston South Carolina.
We use catfish heads down where I live, they work great.
I want to start crabbing at myrtle beach where exactly would I sell them is there a couple shops on the coast or something? And how much per crab?
Local markets are best but other crabbers can be cut throat

what part of SC y'all in?
That was a lot of females being caught.

Just Slayin Fishing anywhere is a start try to hit 100 a day
Magic 1911 Ok thanks a lot for the info
+Just Slayin Fishing need about 100
Didn't see anyone measuring them. minimum is 4 inches tip to tip.
+ted brown it's five inches here and they were all legal I assure you.

Atlantic menhaden "brevoortia tyrannus" , it's a oily fish we use better than chicken.
Magic 1911 how deep does the water need to be I'm in Florida Jacksonville and can't seem to catch nothing I'm a newbie
How hard was it to find a customer to sell to?
Justin Sellers not difficult at all
Justin Sellers the price is never right and in certain fisheries laws have ruined the industry, they call it "a dieing industry".
People usually mess with your pots?
I've been thinking about getting into this.
+Justin Sellers constantly, it's really sad and they won't even close them back.
wow. For someone looking to get into it, would you recommend it?
+Justin Sellers it's a hard decision I'm scared tbh because every year they pass a new law that brings less food to the dinner table.
ok maybe my ears are going but I thought I heard you say break time? from what?
lol
damn dude don't care about getting pinched at all
It doesn't hurt as much after a while, until they really get you.
@@Gr8videos yeah and do those gloves help with that?
I'm trying to start my own "business" I'm starting with 1 simple crab trap and I dont have any gear so are gloves worth it?
published 2015, but title says 2016. im confused!
Devin Hightower not sure maybe that's when I started the RUclips page, thanks for watching
no, the video was published November 2015, not the youtube page.
Devin Hightower weird

Thanks for watching, slow and steady my friend :)
Why wasn't you throwing back the female crabs !!!
They're legal here and I get paid not too
keeping females and crabs under 5"
No sir every crab was measured to legal length did it for years and on another note how do you know the legal size where I am? Also I don't crab sort/cull anymore I fish for more profitable seafoods on my own.
You need to put them female crabs back
Sadly its already hard enough for a commercial fisherman to make a living, can't throw the catch back laws are laws.
I know, the season is getting harder every year. I was just picking 👍
Very true, the seafood industry is a dieing industry.
You keep the females, you won’t have anything left for coming years! Yea, laws are laws, but think about it.
