those tubes are ideal for the job - nice robust but alot easier to handle than a proper creel. bits of scaffold tube might work well for weights too. great idea thanks.
Hi , best to have a solid sheet of plastic on the door behind the bait or most of the prawns will stay that end reaching in to get the bait. Or you could move the bait pouch to the middle and put another solid plastic funnel (bottle neck)in the door . Hope you get enough for a feed soon !
Even tho im in wales, I've heard of people getting very small ones in whelk pots about 9 miles out, so i might try get some of those rings just for a laugh and make some pots out of some old jars that washed up cuz ive got a decent collection
Another thinking mans video, and now you will have to show how to make the nets, by hand, and make your own pots, all in all a excellent video , regards jeff.
I'd definitely like to see more. Started sea fishing Scotlands west coast two years ago and now have a 4m rib so looking to make traps. This was great information I had no idea of depths required 👌👌👌 thank you
ian mackay cheers, good luck when you start with your traps, let me know how you get on, yeah I was surprised at the depth too, I’m actually getting some in around 40-50 ft at the moment, not sure if it’s the time off year and their moving into shallow water for moulting or breading
I love your idea, but I was thinking maybe , ( I have never done any fishing ) But could you no have made the tube smaller in lenght. Maybe doubled the concrete tubes. I'm assuming that the prawns are searching by smell. And they would be nearer the bate. And maybe easier to carry
Hi David thanks for comment, always appreciate feedback from viewers. this was just a trial really and I didn’t want to cut up the net tubes that much. The netted eye extends quite a way into the trap if the bait was closer to the entrance they could possibly eat the bait from the opening rather than going inside. That was my thoughts behind putting the bait away from the entrance.
liked and subbed👍 Very interested in this too, like you I found a couple of prawn traps down here in devon, going to try and catch some top food! Caught a lobster last week on rod n line!!
Cheers Jason, much appreciated. Unfortunately a commercial fishing boat moved into the area and they kept moving my traps and obviously taking anything that was in them. Shame really because they were quite effective and more sustainable. Let me know how you get on if you give it a go👍
I really want to get started but I’ve no experience, I’m in the north east of Scotland and just don’t know any locations, when I look things up it tends to just direct me to seafood sellers 😂
Hi I’m not sure about the east coast as I’m in the west. Obviously there’s plenty in the north east as they’re caught commercially. If your thinking about it I would look for clean muddy ground.
Another fab video and definitely want to see more. I live on East coast of Scotland where there's loads of lobster pots so I have been toying with the idea. The folding pots you get online are not very good so been thinking of alternative.... Not got there yet.
Cheers mate, I tried some folding pots that I made myself on the east coast but unfortunately I only ever have day trips fishing over there and the pots weren’t out long enough only caught a few small brown crab and velvet crabs
making your own traps... It really doubles the fun! Nothing is as great when you pull up your own, selfmade traps. You feel weight, but you can't see it... And than you get sooo curious. Did I get something...?! Is it just dirt?! Great feeling! Enjoy it!!!
I'm from Norway and set pots for langoustine on a regular basis. There absolutely no sense in attempting to pull small traps from a kayak. It's 10 pots at least tied together and you need a winch/puller when they live at 300-500 feet. I've done it for years and that's how it's done. If it was easy everyone would do it but it isn't. No weekend warriors ever raid my pots because you can't physically pull it by hand.
Thanks for commenting much appreciated. I never imagined it would be easy when I tried this. It was only a trial to see if they were there. Satisfied my curiosity, I take my hat off to those that brave the weather on a daily basis to bring nature’s bounty to our tables👍
I would be interested in seeing more potting for langoustine :)
More potting for langoustine, plus catch and cook coming soon.
Link to next potting for Langoustine below. ruclips.net/video/BYCG7j8xLUw/видео.html
Spot on 👍 I would certainly like to see more on this many thanks Tight Lines..
Good job mate keep up the amazing ideas 🏴👍
Love your content all the best from Ireland!
Cheers Sean much appreciated👍
Genius, defo want to see more of this. Catch and cook is a great idea!
Good find getting the Oyster Tubes, saved a lot of fabrication. Excellent video. Thanks
Good idea mate

Many thanks for watching and commenting, great idea for the weight👍👌

Thanks for your comments much appreciated, I have a few other ideas for traps too👍
What's the name of the water your on
Gareloch part of the Clyde estuary mate
Where is all the other langoustine vids i can only find 1
Lol didn't realise that was from 2years ago..
Are they baby lobsters or a different species?
Look like lobster but actually big prawns with claws
Oh ok
Thanks
Hi pal, I’ve done a bit more research and the langoustine is in fact a member of the lobster family according to google that is.
Crack on let’s see some more
