Crabbing today!
« on: August 06, 2015, 09:22:38 PM »
The three of us took the boat up to kayak pt crabbing today.  The new boat ( to us) did awesome.  Plenty of power, and seaworthy.  Got a late start, but we managed up 14 keepers!!!, and 2 red rocks. 
I was looking through some crabing threads on here and saw one where someone said bear meat scraps work good.  It killed me to do it, but I took out a pack of steaks and tried it.  Go figure.  It out fished every other bait we had.  Clams, herring, chicken.  Beat them all!!!
Any way, thanks to Jason Stevens for pointing us in the right direction at kayak point today.
Lots of soft shells out there right now.

That's the way to do a maiden voyage  ;)
Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

If you want to make God laugh tell him your plans.

Dang nice haul, Sled.  Interesting about the bear meat.  I wonder if venison trimmings would work.  Maybe even fat???  I might just try it next year.  :tup:

yes it was you.  Thanks for the tip!  Unfortunately my bear meat tastes way to good to use anymore for crab bait.

I was defrosting the freezer and came across a bag of razor clam shells that I meant to throw out a long time ago.  Crab seemed to think they were candy.

Sometimes, I think having something different works.  Other times, it just isn't too hard to coax a crab into the pot.

I really don't throw anything out these days, it all gets recycled into crab if for no other reason than to save money on chicken and turkey.
