h20hunter helped me out a bit and we just pulled in the heaviest haul yet. got the pot set out at 7pm last night and pulled it at 7am this morning. 10 keepers inside. :yike: :yike: :yike: All red rocks, no dungies though. I just think they live in our channel while they mature and then they leave. As far out into the channel as I was, about 200' further off the dock than I'd ever was before, I would have figured they would have been there if anywhere. Guess the bottom just isn't to their liking. Oh well, 10 red rocks makes me happy. I like the taste of them better anyway. Pot is soaking again now. Going to pull it about 8pm tonight.
Thanks again h20 :hello:

Sweet ...we are headed out next week ...can not wait ...crab patties ...YUM !!! I have the ultimate recipe for crab patties :dunno: :chuckle:
-
No barnacles? How did you do that?!
-
Nice.....very nice. Any on the crab trap casting thing?
-

A couple are covered with barnacles. most are barnacle free though. Seems to be the norm

None. Tried that last night and pulled in a couple of smaller ones, no keepers though. A lot of reeling in and casting out after a "bite". Seemed a lot of work for what it would potentially yield. Maybe dropping it straight down out of a boat in deeper water would work better imo.

Look's like a nice haul :tup:
-
Almost didn't make it though. Paddling that raft out in the current while it's just me is fine. I rigged up a loop in the rope and hook the loop to the front of the raft while letting the pot dangle about 4' below the raft as I take it in and put it out. Well, I underestimated the currents ability to grab ahold of the pot and carry me down the shoreline. got it done once I got back in behind the cut of the bay but it was more work than I expected. Lesson learned and the pot isn't as far out this time
-
verry nice haul, hope you catch many more. :tup:

Looks good. I also like the big rock crab more :tup:
