In this episode we prepare our stone crab traps for the season. We had to add escape rings this year and after a couple attempts we finally got them right. We set the traps out and then show hauling them in and eating our catch!
On another note my 2021 42' Freeman is FOR SALE! The current asking price is $1,175,000. If anyone is interested in the boat shoot me an email to bnmcharters@gmail.com .

Great video. Nice job on your first pull. We had an incredible first pull, 39 claws 27 on the second. So far good start to the season. Good luck and tight lines.

Been a fan for a while and now turned my 15 year old son into a fan as well. We live in Texas and I watched you come up, pioneering daytime sword fishing. I used to know Brett and The Boobytrap team somewhat and was cool to see you guys figure it out and growing the sport together. Glad to see you doing well on KZfaq and Bud n Marys still thriving. Wife and I rolled through Isla Morada a couple of months back on the way down to KW. We actually sat a few tables over from you at Lazy Days eating lunch. Thought about trying to get you for a pic, mostly for my son, but didnt want to bother your lunch. We did wander over to the marina and buy my wife a bud n marys hat. Maybe next time ill fan boy out :) Best of luck and keep up the content, I look forward to it.

Awesome video as always. I would be super careful if that’s a wire brush grill scrubber. I know multiple people who have had those bristles get stuck to the grill then on the food they are grilling. They end up stuck in their throat when eating the food that was on it. Definitely wasn’t fun trips to the ER for either of them.

Hey Nick. I've been a fan of Bud n Mary's since 1969. I remember when you're Dad bought it and my Dad and I spent many hours there, and at Whale Harbour. Tried to stay away from the Tiki Bar, I couldn't seem to leave and be in any condition to fish the next day. Anyway, my question is, do you have any StanzFam or Bud n Mary's 3XL long sleeve pocket T Shirts? I moved to North Carolina and all my fishing T's from Jupiter Inlet to Key West are worn out. Any help or recommendations would be greatly appriciated. Thanks brother. Tight Lines and Good Fishing!!! Buck Walker

Buy the boat at a preferred rate, promote the boat (plus any other products from companies we have partnered with) and then sell it a couple years later to justify all the promotional/marketing efforts.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. When taking both claws from a Stone Crab the mortality rate is upwards of 84%

@StanzFam 6 ай бұрын

@adamyoung480 Florida only ever had one year where you could harvest one claw. Wasn’t enough scientific data to keep it that way. I think everyone who eats stonecrab looks at themself just fine in the mirror. Considering the majority of stone crabs are commercially harvested it would be foolish to think 10 recreational traps makes a difference when letting a crab go with a legal size claw, they crawl 50’ into one of the thousands of commercial traps 🤷🏻‍♂️🦀

@StanzFam 6 ай бұрын

@stoneman-kl2gq claw removal plays a major role into the survival rate (or mortality rate) of the crabs. Using a knife to get the crab to “let go” of the claw is much less damaging than someone breaking the claw off improperly. But if you know what you are doing and can break the claws off properly they still have a decent shot at surviving.

If you don’t like it then commission a study and petition FWC. All the recent studies that I’ve seen show that crabs with both claws harvested actually have higher survival rates. The most plausible explanation I’ve seen is that crabs with one claw will remain active and expose themselves to predators while only having half of their defenses. But crabs missing both claws will find shelter and wait until their claws grow back before going out and exposing themselves to predators.
