Go see Dan at Bay Country in Edgewater.
I use (2) 600' lines. 600 feet of baited line and 6' of chain on each end will fit into a 5 gal spackle bucket. If you use 2 lines, you'll need 2 more clips.
Be one with the crab.

Captain Bruce has themWhere did you get the lid for the orange basket? My StepFather uses the orange basket but has a homemade plastic tub lid that someone made him. I like yours a lot better.
Noob question about collapsible traps.
How long do you let them soak before pulling them up?
You need “Beautiful Swimmers” by William Warner while it’s still cold. It will get you revved up for April.
Join up at tidalfish.com and go to the crabbing forum.
fabro, you're good with a 20'er, now fab up your trotline system. I'd use collapsible traps as well.Been thinking about getting a 20' duck boat. Would that work for crabbing too or would it be better to have something smaller?

Would you use collapsible traps at the same time you are using a trot line? Seems like life would be difficult trying to put both out. Guess I could deploy the collapsible traps first and then the trot line and alternate between pulling the two of them up.
The hard part about all of this is learning how to do it. Granted, YouTube helps, but still not the same as learning from somebody first hand.

What is this prop stick that was mentioned earlier?
Is that a different term for the chock?(what the line runs through.)
Yes. Majority of them are done with 1.5 or 2" PVC pipe/fittings.
