Pink Crab.....a dungie....and an answer!

Slow one pull then loaded up the next. Here is a bit more of what I'm learning with the GoPro.............See the bait bag? I'm using them and am liking not going through the bait as fast. However, I see on the camera that since they aren't really shredding any bait some of the crabs lose interest. They mill around and basically walk out when another is coming in. I added just two flounder slided open and hanging next tot he bag and pulled more than 4 times as many crab per pot. When they are shredding on and eating the exposed bait it is more like a frenzy. They stay in the pot and don't try and leave. They only try and get to the bag and hanging bait. We had 5 over 7 inches out of our 14.

That's some good crabbing, right there.  Got a couple of those bait bags as well that I use for chumming halibut. Drock and I actually used them in the pots for the Crab-B-Que.  As you know, we didn't catch a lot, tho... it was probably somehow his fault   

. What you talking about lewis my fault

That's cool. The mature one was red on the outside, pink on the inside...

And nice gloves, my grandpa always told us crabbing with gloves was for pussies...

Now you have a little better understanding of H20.  Remember the Team Edward, Pink FJ, Hello Kitty references that always surround him...

Its an odd numbered year. Its time for pinks. Crab and salmon.

I got a dungie over the weekend that was purple, nice big male rock hard.   
The wife has an issue with me cracking crab in the house so I did not get to check out the flesh before mixing in with the rest.

Your grandpa is my hero 

   Wierd find h20! So did I miss on whether or not pink meat crabs are bad/good to eat?

[h20hunter]

Safe to eat. Pretty interesting catch.

Wow, that is unusual.  I've caught probably 600-700 legal crab within 5 miles of that very spot and have never seen that.  Funky indeed.

I just got back from fishing and crabbing with Mike (fishinmike)  and we had two pink crabs in the pot, we tossed them back.  Cool looking little critters
