Those snail things look like they come straight from a horror movie

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.

i like how ya use a trap where they can stroll in, eat, and walk right back out lol

@bobzeitlinger5797 8 жыл бұрын

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.

Use fresh fish for bait. You'll catch 10X the crabs.

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..

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

Metal traps are a loser. They jam shut, they jam open, and if there is a strong current they stay closed.

@bobzeitlinger5797 8 жыл бұрын

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.
