Catching PINK SHRIMP - Catch Clean & Cook

Hey, it's Jesse here. Thanks so much for coming back to the channel. Today we are prawning

We are prawning and we are crabbing and we're gonna do a little bit of fishing and I say we

I've got my buddy Rob over there. He's my neighbor. So we've been planning this trip for a long time

We are complete prawning virgins. I've done it on like boat charters but I've never done it by myself

so this is pretty interesting. So I've done a ton of research, spent a lot of time looking at depths

and figuring out you know where the prawns are. So we're looking today for about 250 to 300 feet

of water for the crabs. We're gonna be like 30 to 60 feet and this area I don't know. I've seen it

some other friends have come here before and been successful so we're gonna give it a go and

we'll take you along for the ride. You guys are riding shotgun. Thanks so much for being a part of this

and we'll see you on the water. We've got We've got coho salmon for the crab traps. We've got some, one of them, actually I got some, not these, got some cat food

We've got some prawn pellets mixed in with a little bit of chunks of coho

marinated with some of that oil you saw last night. We're gonna toss that here

Fill it about two-thirds full so when it's moving around the water it's not jam-packed so there can be some good water flow

This is for the quick release scent from the trap. So we empty out the prawns once they're caught, hopefully

Snap this in here, fold it in there and put it in place which is nice

Look at that thing! Engine's running, warming up

We've launched. Now we've got to find our depths. Here we go

We've got that part connected. Connected. I added two buoys onto our, so here's our main buoy, but just because these are sometimes hard

to grab in the water, I grab the little ones, they just grab the rope and they just follow you

Okay, what does it say on the depth finder there? 294, 295. Perfect

Made in voyage, made in drops? I don't know what it's called

It's a lot of line, 400 feet of line I got, a weighted line. It's got 300 feet, so we've got an extra 100 but it's going to be a lot of line

I'm going to snap this on, this little weight so the last 10 feet of line or so

just weigh it down, just like that. So no boats

So, is it still recording? I'm recording now. And you gotta be like, off to fishing

So we can go that way, we can go this way, I was thinking about just heading down that way. Like this area you can't fish because it's a rock, that goes to Horseshoe Bay, around there goes to

Horseshoe Bay, this goes up to Eagle, this way, I don't know, I've never been down here so, check it out. Let's go

Yeah. So

going? All right, pretty basic setup here, we got our pickerel rig, and our bottom rig, and I've got

a two ounce or three ounce weight, and that's going to sit on the bottom, and above that we're

just going to use a little octopus size, I think one here, one or two, and we're going to put some

we're going to put some shrimp on it. So we're just going to bait it up, pretty simple, I'm going for some bottom fish here. This will be robs, it's like a half a chunk, let's start small

There's green lean, there's flounder, there is rockfish, which we can't keep, I don't expect to

catch here, and so this will be the first one. So we're just going to put up like that

and we're just going to drop her down. About 75 feet of water, I think, right now

according to our, our hummingbird. It's not coming off very easily. Mine's not coming off very smoothly, but that's okay

Just a little, there we go, on bottom. So we do get on bottom, make sure you feel it

there it is, and I just like to keep it just right there, just so I know I can feel the weight on the bottom like that, and then just wait for the little tap

tap, tap. Give me this rod. Got the starry flounder. Oh, yeah, starry flounder, not a bad size one, actually

We can eat them, but I don't like, I'm not a big fan of these guys as much, they're not as good to

eat, but I like the sand dabs are better. So it's a chunk of meat there, these are rougher, they're

rougher on the skin, you'll see they're rougher, the sand dabs are a lot smoother, and they don't

have the stripes, but pretty cool, huh? Very cool. I don't know, let him go

Hi, buddy. It's a good chunk of meat though, a good chunk, it's got some weight to it. Yeah

Got him? All right. Bye, buddy. Toss him back. See you. Well, we're in the spot, man, we're in the

spot, so here we go. All right, let's keep going, let's keep giving her. Come on, buddy. Oh, he let

go. What? He's there. He's telling stories, fish stories now. Fish stories, fish stories. He had

the big one on, the biggest one of the day. We'll get the replay. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, let's see that

let's see the replay of that rod right there. Oh, man. So we're just out here fishing off the bottom

just throwing a little bottom rig, as you know, and we're just having a good time

recharging in life. That's what we're doing. Oh, man, he's there. Yeah. Oh, did he let go? Oh, he let go

Ah, I did, there was one on there. He was on. Yeah, I had him. I was gonna say, I was like

maybe there's one out there the whole time. Okay, so there is one right here somewhere. He's right

here somewhere. Well, if there's one, there's lots, there's more, there's like a bunch. Okay

we've got to give this a little bit longer time. We've got to get you. Oh, yeah. You got one? Thank you. Is it recording? Yes

Oh, yeah. Nice story. Okay, you don't have to reel anymore. You don't have to reel anymore

Stop reeling, stop reeling, stop reeling. Yeah, bring it over here. Oh, yeah, that's a good size

story. Bring it over here. That is beauty. There we go. Can you give a little slack? Yeah

just a little bit of slack there and you grab the, there you go. There you go. Nice. All right

photo. Look at this guy. We told you he was a, he was a flounder captain or was a prong captain. I

can't remember, but he's, that's a nice, that's actually a pretty good one. I mean, we could keep

it if you want, but I don't know. I probably wouldn't eat it. You would? No, if it was a

sand dab, I would like a sand dab for sure, but not the starry flounder. I don't. That's all right

buddy. Hey, all right, we're back. We're back. There is a place. There is the

prawn trap that is ours. Yep. That is nice. This is why you bring your friends

All right, probably what, 50 feet? You're about a one eighth of the way there

We've got a beautiful day. I have to say, like, look at the water. I mean, you can't beat that. He's getting his workout here. I don't know. He's, he's, he's, uh

probably he needs a little bit of a workout these days. He's slacking himself. These keyboard

fingers. Yeah. Yeah. Us keyboard warriors. We, uh, yeah, we, we're not cut out for this sort of stuff

Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep

There you go. That's not bad. Hey, we got, they look, they look, uh, let's see. Let's see. Bring

it in the middle here. That's not bad. There's our, uh, this looks pretty small though. Hey

they all look preggers. These are all really small guys or am I just, uh

uh, these look tiny. I do. What's up with that? Okay. Like someone help us out here

We've got a ton of shrimp. It looks like, and I don't know if these are not prawns

These are not like the meaty prawns that we, like the big ones I was thinking of

We still eat them. Oh yeah, for sure. You can. All right. Well, let me just eat the shrimp. Yeah

I think so. It won't be the, wow. I can't believe that. I'm a little shocked that there's not one

prawn in there though. There's not one spot on. How is that impossible? I only caught five

a couple of more. You could have yourself a cocktail. All right. Look at this guy here. All right, here we go

Hmm. Delish. Is it rolling? So we got a shrimp here. This is not a prawn

So I'm going to, I'm going to rip off the head like so. This is really small

This is like, Oh yeah. It's mild

Texture's great. I'll eat that all the time. It's wasabi and soy sauce

It'd be good for sure. They're small, but Oh yeah. Actually, it's better than I thought it was going to be

Has a little bit of saltiness from the, from the ocean. That looks like a good one. There you go. That's the worm I was talking about. Check it out

Where? It's right here. Oh yeah. On top there. Oh yeah, you're right. Salmon have those too

Just twist in bulk. You get the sea flavor right up front, eh? That salty up front and then

That's good. Yeah. They're good. They're just so small. We need the bigger ones

Yeah. So this one has roe, I guess that's what the blue is. So we have to let those guys go

Let's get it. See those ones have blue, that's roe. We have to let those go

Can't have the blue roe. Those are babies. Bye babies. Bye babies

All right. On to the crab traps. Feeling a little heavy? There's some crab in there. Oh yeah? Yeah. Oh. Those are big too

Those are giants. Wow. Those are, those are male? They're keepers. Okay. I'm pulling the traps from now on. Dude, those are big. Yes. Are these females or males

Let's find out right now. Okay. Male. That one's a keeper. Both males. Ah, yeah

Salvaged. Giant. There you go. And they feasted on our salmon as well

Okay. We're back. So prawns, it was not on. What the heck did we do wrong? Drop a comment down

below and tell me why there was no prawns in that trap. Clearly this was not our fault

What happened here? And tell me why there was no prawns in that trap. Clearly this was not our fault

What happened here? I don't know. But we got two crabs and actually the shallower one

surprisingly was the better one. So I didn't think that was going to be the case, but

we got two starry flounders and yeah, a bunch of shrimp. So we'll eat the shrimp for sure

But I'm definitely not giving up on these prawns. I'm coming back for them. I'll definitely be

coming back. Maybe not to this location, but I'll be back and see if we can get them next time. So

but yeah, if you guys know prawning and you know what we did wrong, let me know. I'd love to know

that. Drop me down a comment below and I'll do another video and we'll get them next time

All right, we're back at home unloaded. It's always a lot of work. So we're going to eat

these shrimp. So this is not a prawn video anymore. This is a shrimp video. So I'm just

going to quickly take off the heads, de-vein these guys and we're going to get those guys

on as well as the crab. So I'm just going to grab the head and I'm going to take it off like that

Boom. Throw that back in. And I don't know if there's a vein in here. Yeah, there's a little

vein. You can see that. Take that out. Thank you, buddy. There you go

Oh, look at this. The crab is served. Look at that. Wow. Nice presentation. Captain Rob here

So the day wasn't a complete bust. I definitely learned some things. It was so fun to take the

portaboat along West Van and just to cruise along there. I've never gone that far just to see what

the six horsepower motor can do. And it was great to get some crab and some shrimp, obviously. And

we didn't get the prawns. That's okay. These little guys are, they're tasty. They're not huge

but they're tasty little morsels. And let's give a couple of try here. So the shell's still on

So it's not the easiest thing to get these guys out of here. So I'm going to use this fork just

to peel it off. And bear with me here. There we go. I'll get a tiny little bite. I should put it

give me a little. Oh, that's, it's just butter. That's all I put on it

It's delicious. The texture is perfect. It's great. These little things are just

I could eat these all day. Now that's good. If they were just a little bit bigger. Let's try this

I'm fooling around here. See what we got. Oh, look at this crab, crab claw. Chunk of that. That looks good

Oh yeah. Nice one Rob. Captain Rob burn it up as always on the kitchen. Now let's try his garlic

butter sauce. Sauce. Let's just do a little dab. Oh man. Oh, that's a good sauce. I love that

That is, that is it. Garlic butter. Ooh, that is good. Okay. I'm doing crab like that from now on

That's good. I like that butter. That's good. All right guys. Thanks so much for hanging out

with me and spending some time with Rob and I. If you like this video, give me a thumbs up. If

you don't like it, tell me so in the comments and um, if you like these sort of piranhas videos

these type of fishing videos, curious to see. I'm always trying to try new things and so and learn

and get more on the water and it's tough with two kids. I'll tell you that with six and four

but um, we're going to keep going at her. So, um, yeah, again, thank you so much for watching

I appreciate you and we'll see you in the next video
