Sea Lions ATTACKED My Crab Traps!!! (Epic Underwater Dungeness Crabbing and Fishing Adventure)

On a beautiful day along the Oregon Coast, my wife and I head out for some dungeness crabbing and fall coho fishing. However, neither of us expected to have our crab traps attacked by sea lions in some of the most epic underwater crabbing footage. We also trolled around for salmon for a few hours in search of a coho salmon to take down a plug. But the best show was the sea lions attacking our crab traps...

AG!

[@jdd1979]

Not sea lions, seals. Note the ears, sea lions have external ear flaps, seals have holes

[@rmoutzen]

Switched to Chicken years ago, nothing stops them from tearing your pots apart if you use fish and especially Salmon head!

[@WillyFish]

We got lucky the traps didn't get destroyed! I'll be crabbing with chicken next trip out!

[@yesthankyou.1278]

You need to weight your doors.

[@WillyFish]

Yes I do!

[@krowton]

Good reason to just use chicken

[@Greenliight]

Seals also love chicken

[@WillyFish]

I'll be using a lot of chicken going forward...

[@mr.e.2175]

That's why I never use salmon in my crap pots seals will trash your pots.

[@WillyFish]

100% no to salmon in the future for sure!! Super glad my traps didn’t get damaged!!
