Awesome video mate. I don't think I'll ever get sick of underwater footage. Despite the thievery, at least you have a better idea about how long to leave the trap down than everyone else. Must have been gutting watching them wander on and then off while you were editing. Cheers for more great content and it was lovely seeing the old boy come out for a fish and get the best one.

Loved this ep Sammy! Just an idea, try cutting some vinyl tube that's the same inner diameter as the ring around the trap. Slice it down the middle and feed it over the outer ring of the trap, might stop them getting scared of it 🍻

Try salt n vinegar chips on your crab sandwich. The salt n vinegar are a great complimentary flavour but also a bit of crunch for texture.

As the all the critters in that part of the world are eccentrically weird, why should one think Aussie rock crabs would look normal. they are certainly weird, and I’ll bet quite tasty. the weirdest part of this video is how they catch them. Does a flat mesh panel even count as a “trap”.

You may have noticed the couple of pots that came up with more crabs had been sitting on the bottom with the food containers down. that gives the swimmer legs room to push through the net without letting them to touch the bottom and avoid getting caught. The old man used to make his pots with a larger square profile sides to help get the net off the bottom, he also had weights to make sure the bait was facing down so they had to dig in to get at it. he would love to see this video to see how his theories stacked up. Great content.

Yeah, we had two clips on the bait, and clipped it to the top and the bottom of the Crayfish pot. That way the crays couldn't sit on the outside of the pot and reach in and grab the bait and pull it towards them and feed from the outside without entering the pot. Dad also made his original pots bigger, six foot square and about 3 and a half feet high. I remember about 50 years ago when I was just about 7 or 8, going out with him to lift some pots, and it was all he and my older brother could do to pull one up, and when they did, the entire pot was full of crays. They had no chance of lifting it into the boat, and so dad had my brother hold it just awash, and we took it into shallow water off a sand beach, and dad started pulling crays out and dumping them over the side, because in those days you could only take 20 crays as a non-commercial fisherman. It took a long time, and I forget now how many the pot had in it, like 90 or so. I put a pot down in that same spot about ten or twelve years later, and got 19 crayfish in it. And the last time I was on the island, I put three pots out over four nights, and got just 2 crayfish.

Here in the PNW, we use chicken innards that we leave in a plastic bag, in the sun. We pour it into old nylon socks and tie to the net. Stinks like heck, but the Dungeness absolutely go nuts. The other standby is canned catfood. We put lots of holes in the can and wire it to the nets. Good results.

Epic footage! That ray was going nuts. The trays seem to work better upside down, I’m guessing cause there legs fall through the mesh more easily being spaced off the bottom by the bait cages. They moved pretty freely over trays when flat on bottom. I’d be rigging them with a bait cage either side to space it off the bottom whatever side they fall.

We use round "rings" but we bridle them so they come up flat as we haul them in. Fishing for Dungeness. Some of the camera footage from here in the Pacific Northwest shows if you fish rings you want to pull them every fifteen or twenty minutes max as the crab come and investigate then many leave.

That was fun. It was interesting to see the flat trays. I live in Washington state USA and around here it is all pots. Most some form of cage with a one way door. Some hobby styles lay flat (rings, folding traps) but those either fold close or pull up into a net as you retrieve them. For the upside down problem - could you attach a very small amount of flotation on the top side? Not enough to raise it up obviously. Just enough to give it a preference for that side up as it sinks. If flat trays is how folks do it there I reckon people have already considered various options.

Sammy, that was some of the best footage I have ever seen. I saw one comment, they said it was a spotted eagle ray, did you actually find out what it was? I have been working on a new camera for filming under water, but it is hardwired, so you would have to sit there and watch the footage live, but going on what your footage has shown it only takes about 15 minuted before the action starts, so it may actually pay off to not leave the drop site and watch out for the preditors.. i'll let you know how it goes after we finish our testing. Thanks to you and the Phantom for another great show.

Keen to hear once it’s done mate! I think the general consensus was that it was an eagle ray that one 👌👌
