Catching Huge Spot Prawns (Shrimp) in Alaskan Waters

- Опубликовано: 6 май 2022
- We are back in Captain Mark’s boat heading North of Revillagigedo Island on the hunt for Spot Prawns. Spoiler* we catch some monsters. Mark and Matt will show a bit on how to catch Spot Prawn shrimp as they explore a new shrimping location. It was an awesome trip and adventure.
Hope you all enjoyed the show. As we are getting started with this channel please leave your feedback in the comments and share with anyone who might enjoy! Thanks! - Zach

Aloha. Looks like you were close to Yes Bay Lodge. Worked there in 01,02,04, and 06. Good fishing, crabbing, and shrimping. Have fond memories.
Hello mister, even though this video is old but it's nice to see it,
Thank you for sharing your experience about the best way to dispose of fishing gear,👍
Nice camera and production work! Thanks for sharing. I prawn in southern BC waters, and the key thing I've learnt when trying a new location is to check the traps shortly after dropping. If there's not much in them after 30-60 minutes, the prawns aren't there today. I also find a 2-3 hour soak yields more or less the same as leaving them overnight. My favourite timeline is to head out ~90 minutes before a high or low tide, pull, empty and re-bait the traps and then set them again, then go fish salmon for the hour each side of the slack tide, and pick up the traps again after that. Head home after a 3 hour outing with two batches of premium seafood. Leave the traps in for the night, do it all again tomorrow.
Thanks for watching and for the tips! That's the beauty of dropping traps and pots - gives you that time to relax, fish, in between. - Zach
i need this in my life, thank you so much guys!!
Same, i live in Wisconsin, too far away to Ocean/Sea fish
Glad you enjoyed it! That's exactly what Matt's goal has been - to share Alaska with others through the show. thanks for watching! - Zach
Thank you for taking me on this experience through the video. Just wonderful. Stay safe, the shrimp look delicious. 👍😊
Never set that deep, usually between 275-350 ft. Caught them right out of Knudson Cove! Laced up yhe sound just outside of Salmons Falls Resort!
Hey guys. I was just watching another one and they used a garden hose. Hauler. The ones that lay the deck n you Roll on it looked nice
Ha! Interesting. I think I would give that a shot as long as it's not too deep - I don't need to bulk up that much. - Zach
Hi Matt. Just found these videos and you channel. Love it up there! Love the videos. Thumbs up on them👍. See you in August
Thanks for the video..
Thanks for watching! - Zach
Soo cool! I lived in Ketchikan for 5 years and love this episode... I used to work at Madison's and helped with the Hacks at Yes Bay Lodge. a very good chapter in my life! Thanks!!
Wow this is a secret gem of a channel. You guys are going to blow up producing such great content. Loved it.
Thanks! I really appreciate the encouragement! We are going to keep at it and hopefully it catches on! I'm heading back up to Alaska next week to record a bunch of salmon fishing episodes! - Zach
Looks like some good eats.
Looking forward to coming up to Knudson Cove next year!
It's going to be a great time! - Zach
Thanks for the video guys, this is the stuff that keeps me going until I can get there myself.
Thanks for the comment! We'll be recording some salmon fishing next week! - Zach
Dude great Video very well put together keep them coming!
Will do, and thanks! - Zach
I love these videos . Looking forward to the next one
Right!
We really appreciate the support! - Zach
Great content guys! I love the patter you have between you, and you're both very comfortable and real on camera, which is rare. Excellent post production as well. Deadheads are one of my biggest fears as well. When the mighty Skeena river starts cleaning house during runoff in spring and early summer, it's like an obstacle course for my fiberglass boat.
for those unaware,, Prawns and Shrimp are 2 separate animals... shrimp have 1 set of arms , a curled body and are mostly in salt water,,,, prawns have 3 sets of arms,, a straight body and are mostly in fresh water... prawns are usually larger than shrimp as well... Spot ( prawns) are in fact shrimp.
Excellent upload guys! By far the most informative video on shrimping that I've watched to date. Still trying to figure out if I'm going to end up in Oregon, Washington or Alaska when I sell my place but regardless of my landing, I've got a much better handle on catching shrimp now.
Beautiful Trip wish I was with you and enjoy eating a pot full too! Thank You!!!!!
What you call Scrimp we call them tuna crab and we find them floating in spots a couple acres or more sometimes so thick you could almost walk on them
Interesting! Do you guys do anything with them? Or just a nuisance that eats tour bait? - Zach
Made me want some, now.
Man, the whole time I was editing it just made me hungry. Same with the most recent cooking episode. - Zach
Send me the heads then..omg the best part!!
Really well produced. Can't wait to see more of this. Excellent! Gonna plug ya'll on my IG account!! Well done.
Thank you! - Zach
Very nice wish to come and fish there
Aloha. If that’s the cabin I’m thinking about, it’s on an inlet that’s pretty sketchy at low tide with some big boulders.
Great videos for us Alaskan subscribers. The plotter trick of circling at set sight a great tip. Your intro shows a squid jig with squid. Can we expect a video on that subject? I'm interested in expanding my Prince William Sound adventure experiences to include jigging for squid and hope your excellent informative videos would include how to squid Alaskan Waters. Thanks to all your crew and look forward to new videos.
Thanks for watching! We did do some squidding and have an episode that we plan to release down that road but we are hoping to go out one more time to get more footage - Zach
Great job on the video. I am heading up to Sitka beginning of July to visit my Wife who is working up there. Hopefully get some fishing in. Not sure about shrimping..
Let us know how the fishing goes! We'll be recording some salmon fishing next week! - Zach
Good luck
Liked and subscribed 👍Mahalo for sharing 🌺🤙🌺Aloha
Forest Gump would be proud!
18 hours???wow. Here in the Puget Sound 1-2 hours and if we don’t get a couple hundred is slow shrimping.
great vid, don't they die soon after if you put them in the bucket like that? no sea water?
I changed ALL my traps to a larger mesh size.... 1" x 1" 2 limits we fill a 5 gallon pail.... VRS traps with a 1/2" x 1" mesh size... 1/2 a 5 gallon pail Peice COUNT
I think I could get to like that lifestyle,
I sub' d
Thanks for subbing!
❤❤
You should go to the hood cannel bridge
You are lucky guy
😊
A beautiful life.
I want to move to Alaska
500' is too deep in my opinion, and as I suspected you caught only one prawn in each trap. I'm guessing you found success later at a depth of 300' give or take 20'. A tip I got that has worked wonders for me prawning is poke a few holes in a can of Friskas seafood supreme cat food and either hang it by its ring or place it in the bait cup. I hope I don't come off as a know it all, only saying what works very well in my experience in BC waters. Peace out.
👍🏻🇨🇦
Why throw the heads away :( dry them up they are good eatin’!
Those shrimp are beautiful! Not a good idea to eat shrimp raw…
Aloha. Those you can. I’ve done it. They’re firm and sweet.
