That first pot you put the hook where it was when you pulled it up. Can see it early in the video.

Very true mate, I didn't even notice that. I always hook them close to the tag. No idea why I didn't do it that time. Other than I wasn't concentrating, because I was filming. lol Well picked up.

I’ve said it a million times over the years. Get a camera or two. It’s the best investment anyone crabbing can make. A lot of times thieves can be recognised in town, not just on the water🍺🍺

It is the same everywhere: Thieves have no respect for themselves or anyone else. Remember, a watched pot never boils, but it never gets raided either!

The plunger is a good idea, but the crabs drop to many claws as they get bite pressure and go on the defence.

Put four pots in at Alligator during the year. Every single one of them was raided. Gives you the absolute shits.

If it's good, unique or takes a long time to make or find, a thieving bastard will be right behind you. Once you have something of value, it takes just as much effort to keep it, if not more!

When you catch enough to eat new thing is cleaning and cooking them up in some good recipes and those videos are getting popular so reason you catch them is to cook them up and eat them so there's more than just catching away cooking okay

Those drop kicks are no good at catching crabs by themselves probably shit fisherman and more than likely under achievers in life generally, this is the reason we are not allowed to carry shootin irons.i really enjoy your vids by the way, absorbing a lot of imfo for when I get the chance to get up your way, happy new year Knighty.
