So we're crab potting.
Okay.
So there's basically like two ways to commercially catch crabs where I'm at.
And it's, one is a trot line.
So you got that long line.
you know, line with inline baits, you know, and then you're running along with a dipper or a net.
And there ain't nothing wrong with that.
You know, that's a great way to go.
That's how everybody starts usually because not a lot of overhead.
You can do it by yourself.
Usually, like, you're running, like, you know, some of the bigger guys are running up to 5,000 foot of line.
Sometimes they'll break it up into, like, 1,000 foot or 1,200 foot sections.
And then, you know, there's debate on how far you want your bait spaced.
And, you know, there's some science to it in terms of, like, you know, guys will have different lines with different spaced baits for different bottom, different times of the year, all that kind of stuff.
It's usually like, I would say the average, I think ours are like seven foot, seven or eight foot.
Yeah, so they either put them in line, like they'll either use like that old school like twisted like hemp line almost.
Yeah, yeah.
and they'll just push it together and then put the bait in line.
Yeah, that's like the old school way of doing it.
Or now, like a lot of guys like to run snoods is what they call it.
