And so as each pot comes up, I break the snap gear off of the main line and then stack all the loops on the PVC pipe in order.
You know, and then all the line goes in the barrel and then each pot as it comes up, I'll break it off the main line.
And then the shaker, who's kind of like your right-hand guy, he'll open up the top door, flip the pot up, open the bait door, shake the crabs out, put new bait in it, close the bait door, and then put it into a hot water tank that's kind of behind us.
And that's cleaning the crab pots.
That's like 90% of crabbing, though.
It's keeping gear clean.
In the summertime, you know.
We're trying, like crabs, everybody thinks they're just like dumb scavengers, right?
But I mean, there's a way you can go out there and catch crabs.
You can go out there and make a living catching crabs and the devil's in the detail, right?
So we clean every pot every time it comes over the rails.
And we don't let them sit more than like four days in the summertime, you know.
So what we're trying to prevent is these pots growing things like algae, barnacles.
We have this like brown stuff that we call it hair.
It looks just like hair, but it's technically kind of coral.
These little arthropods that we get, they're like little shrimp, we call them.
And they, it'll look like your pots covered in like grains of brown rice.
Um, they build these little huts that they live inside of, you know, and then the stuff, the algae and things like that will catch on their little huts and start to grow.
So we're just trying to prevent any of that stuff, you know?
So if you see my pots, ideally they look like they're brand new.
