We're using 30" stainless steel round shrimp pots. Fishing in 280' of water in Hoonah Sound approximately 50 boat miles north of Sitka Alaska. Thanks for watching and as always please like, share and subscribe @TanagirlAK
Looks like a good haul on the shrimp there. I'll be in Sitka myself this summer at some point as my wife took a job up there. Unfortunately I don't have a boat up there. Have 3 in my pole building here and one in storage but they are thousands of miles away. Lol.
@@TanagirlAK ha! I’ve been looking at all these Alaskan, Canadian and Washington made pullers and that one is made right here in my own backyard in Northern California. Thank you, that brand never popped up in an internet search.
It’s a 22’ Ocean Pro hardtop. I normally don’t fish with the pots on the back deck if I’m fishing they’re either in the water or I’ll put them on the bow and out of the way. They can also fit on top the hardtop but that’s where my dinghy is located most of the time. Thanks for watching!
@@TanagirlAK I've REALLY been eyeballing those Hewescrafts I want one but can't decide on the Ocean Pro 24 or Alaskan 250 I think the Alaskan may be a bit out of price range for me but I like the wide bottom.
Both of those are beautiful boats and I don’t think you’ll be unhappy with either one you decide on but you’re right, money makes the decision. Fish on!
I wonder how many shrimp you would get if you didn’t stop pulling until the last pot was aboard, because from the moment you disturb the pots, the shrimp go crazy trying to escape. Every time you stop, you lose more! Ever notice your last pots have fewer shrimp in them?
That’s a very good question Roger I’ve never thought of it that way. The hole they use to get in the pot is just open and doesn’t have a hatch that closes when they enter. I suppose it’s possible they could escape..hmmm! Might have to do some research this summer and see how it goes. I’m intrigued! Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment!
I’ll dropped them in the morning and check them before night then leave them in the water over night and check them again in the morning. Minimum soak 4 to 5 hours. Thanks for watching Brian
I use a pellet prawn bait soaked in herring oil. I’ve also put whole herring or fish carcasses in the pot as well. I want something that puts off a good sheen. Thanks for commenting!
