Finally got into the crab again and again 9/3, 9/4, and 9/5
« on: August 14, 2016, 01:35:50 PM »
Put two traps out Saturday morning, pulled in the afternoon, one legal one in one trap and seven legal ones in the other.  Re-dropped the full one and it was empty when we pulled it later in the evening.  Fortunately, the other one had another six legal sized one, but one was softshell so it was tossed.

I could hardly buy a crab last weekend.  The moral of the story?  Location, location, location.....   :chuckle:

24.2 pounds of live crab!

What's your favorite bait?

Nice haul.
I need just one more hunt and I'll be satisfied ... Really! Just one more...

Nice haul.

Fish, my lingcod head caught 8 of these over two days of soaking.

Skin on chicken thighs and legs seem to do just about as well.

I need to find those crabs that bring up 5 dollar bills too :) have you tried horse clam ED? We use to freeze them whole in the shell and then smack the shell with a hammer stuff a couple in the bait box with a cheap dollar store can of tuna!! Of course there seem to be a lot more crab then :dunno:
my grandpa always said "if it aint broke dont fix it"

I like clam chowder too much to use the whole clam for bait.  I do save all of the stomachs and other trimmings though and use that.

Tonight, probably about 7.  Had spot prawns with garden veggies, cream cheese sauce and rice noodles last night. Maybe salmon patties for dinner tonight, or crab cakes.....   :chuckle:
