You got it in one. Lobsters need to be in by the time they get to the bait, then if disturbed they will go into a corner then the parlour.

Jesus fucking Christ😂😂 why would you put some bible shot in the comments of video about lobster

ya there not very gentle with them looks like they each get slammed at least 6 times each wonder home many actually survive

The wood hoop you see is like the bottom of a funnel it goes into the trap making it easier to get in than out. But they can and do get out quite easy. At the back of the trap there is a mesh reap also like a funnel witch is a harder to get out of, also in the back section there is a plastic panel with you can not see. It has an opening witch lets smaller lobsters escape but bigger ones can not fit out. This hatch is also attached with clips that will brake down and fall off allowing all lobsters that can fit in the trap get out. So if a trap is lost then it will eventually just let lobsters and fish come and go with out taping them. In short they can just get back out but it is just a little harder than getting in and with so many lobsters coming and going it eventually catches a few of them.

i wish i was in the boat eating them

This i can answer. Yes you can catch lobster and crabs together and we do quite often. Lobsters are fairly aggressive and will eat crabs if they are in the trap for to long together, but they will do the same with other lobsters. But both are rare to see. The crabs may be kept back by the lobsters a for the most part, but the main reason is you see a lot more crabs on sandy bottom, the trap will usually have more if not all crabs on sandy bottom, so we try to avoid setting on it, witch will in turn reduce the crabs we catch. Now that is for what we call jonny crabs. If you are talking Snow crabs witch we also fish in this area. They are in deeper colder water there is a good few miles off shore before you start to see them usually, but on some rare occasions in our deepest traps and in the colder months Snow crabs have been caught locally in lobster traps.

thats kinda what i thought, that depending on the crab species, some would be found closer to shore and other larger crabs would be in much colder deeper waters. Lobsters i figure would be somewhere in between. and dropping pots in that grey zone could increase the chances of catching both in one trap.

xevious2501 In Sweden we have brown crabs and you will get A LOT of them when fishing for lobster. A pot might be filled with 5 crabs or more and only one lobster. But placing the trap at the right spots might reduce crab catches.

Don’t quote me on this but if I remember correctly spam (the food) was shipped of in times of war. And the soldiers hated it just like the ones who had to eat lobster. But after the war the soldiers started to crave spam because they won’t eating it any more. So when the people that had to eat lobster were no longer forced to they may have started to miss eating it.

yeah thats sounds alot like human nature. Hating something when your going thru it, but when its gone, start looking back on the events, cherishing the ordeal. As they say the best times in ones life is when you believe things are at their worst. Its when your most alive, most strong, and life in general is easier than whats to come but you cant see it. Its like people that are poor then come into wealth, only then do they realize the value of what they once had, oppose to all thats lacking having acquired their dreams and desires.

Yes, and for the small fee of $10,000 I will hand deliver them to your door. I can do live or freshly cooked your choice. LoL
