Hale, it's 9 months later and I'm watching it again! It's a favorite video. I was going Oh Man, Hale is over limit!! When you did the count it hit me, you guys in Oregon have a higher limit! We went out of Monterey Bay last week fishing. The weather has been bad and it looked like a doable day. Really rough and the fishing was hard. We both got our limit of rock fish and I managed to bring in a small Ling. I was pooped but happy! Gene
Thank you. Appreciate the comments. Your channel has great content. I was surprised you did a top 5 of beaches to crab in the Bay Area. Good stuff. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
I would never take anyone to that spot!!! That is a serious secret and I can't believe it isn't wall to wall rods! It's OK to snare up and walk back, as an old man I discovered that trick. Both of my reels are only 5000s too. I was taught to do a 15-minute soak but kept coming up with an empty bait box and no crabs. 5 minutes is my norm these days. Great video and a lot of fun watching!!
@@BackFishing I went a week or two ago and gave your snares a try. At first I thought the loops may be a bit small but I was wrong, Now I think mine may be too big. All I got were undersize though. I'm trying to get a friend to go to my favorite beach as soon as we can go. Looking for a good wave and tide. Storm fronts moving in right now.
@@BackFishing actually have used just regular night crawlers reeled slowly along the bottom, but have talked to people using sand shrimp that did pretty well too.
What a day! This is, of course, a testament to your amazing crab snares! I was there on November 1st just south of this beach (I think?) I lost three snares trying to catch rock crab off the jetty 😓 I had better go back in your UA-cam archives and learn to make them using your tutorials! I was supposed to be back in the Tillamook area the same day you were (11/11) there but my whole family got hit with covid just before that and we were out of commission for nearly 2 weeks. I'll be steering clear of the coast this coming weekend as it is free fishing day... Hopefully there will be some good crabbing for me next week! I can't believe the size of some of those Dungeness! So great! Nice work.
@@BackFishing ooh! that sounds amazing. I would love to connect out there. I hope you have a fantastic Thanksgiving with family! I'll be making my 21st Thanksgiving meal and now that the winds died down I might even smoke the turkey instead of oven roasting...
It appears you were crabbing North of the jetty and South of the Twin Arches. If so nobody else was there because the Ocean is closed for crabbing Oct 16 thru November 30th.
Thanks for your comment although a bit odd. Not in the area you noted but just curious of your comment. Do ODFW ever close crabbing areas besides exposure to demoic acid and MPAs?
Me and my husband love watching all of your adventures! We live in Oregon, and we are just starting our crab snaring adventures around the Bandon area! Where would be a good spot to try in the Tillamook area?
Hello Halli , sorry to ask this question, though it is June 2023. Have you ever done Shad fishing at the Cascade Locks??/ I am from Minnesota and find it hard going down rocks etc for access to water due to handicap state and bad Hips Thank you
I have never gone to the Locks to fish for shad. I am sure you can fish there. I know they fish for salmon there. This weekend is free fishing weekend in WA June 10th-11th. Fishing at the west end of North dam access road has rocks but you might have might be able to navigate them. Look at google maps satellite view towards Hamilton boat ramp. Otherwise Cascade locks is your best bet. Good luck.
Just look at shallow bays and estuaries at low tide in the Tillamook area. They can be found in this manner. If your referring to crab snaring, they can be found anywhere with sandy bottoms along the beach or jetties. GL
Nice action and lots of crabs! Cool. The Beefstick rod what is the ounce rating for casting? Try to find a pole that can cast a lot of weight and your casting 11 ounces, so what exact rod may I ask you're using?
I am casting 8-10 oz on that Beefstick 10' rod. Rating is 1-6 oz but still holds. My other pole is heavier goes up to 10 oz. which is older Mastercraft 12' rod. I don't have high end equipment for crabsnaring but still gets the job done. GL
So after 1 year, you still won't say where this was exactly... just give me a hint please...was this spot IN side the Jetty and bay, or was it outside on the ocean beach, because looked like the ioen ocean there. By the way...are you Filipino, because you look and sound exactly like uncle Clarence Mancia...??
@@BackFishing hahaaa... I figured out exactly where you were later after a few of your quick camera pans... logical choice to be at the mouth there, ive just never tried it there. So a similar experience for me in a similar setting, but without all the waves, just sand and calm waters, was in astoria 2 years ago, when there were expanding out all the beach recreation access areas with massive construction going on... it was at the further access point before deading... it was either point "C" or "D"(which ever was the furthest out)...it was so peaceful there with no tides really and ships just going back and forth in the distance...and just monster crabs on snares... and water level is like netarts at slack, so that you can just even walk out with a regular trap and drop it there too at waist high... i can share this because im leaving the country next year and i know you wont reveal it.
Homemade snares. The ones you get at the stores are not as good. Most people replace the loops on those and just keep the cage. Thanks for watching. GL

I've been hanging out in the Bay Area for a few weeks now. Good to be back. I'm glad you got into some rockfish.
When you can pick and choose which crabs to keep, you know it's an epic day. Nice video Hale! 🦀

@@outdoorfreedom9778 All very good points Gene. GL next time. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Hi hally remember me Dee i saw your crabing snare video show awsome.
Thank you Dee.
What an amazing day of crab snaring! I thought maybe PK was snorkeling in the surf hooking you up with those jumbos!
Too funny. LOL
It looks so fun. Thank you forcanother great video. I subscribed.
I appreciate you. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Wonderful. I was looking for a local video on scare 🦀ing. What weight line are you using? 30lb?
right on!!! have been wondering how that spot would crab, now i know, Thank you!
1 hour before low tide is best to reach deeper channel but this day I went 4 hours before so you can still catch them but require further casting.

Thank you! Keep up the videos, looking forward to more!!
Great show, Hale. Those crabs were HUGE!
Thanks PK. Crabs are starting to fill up with meat as oppose to the crabs I caught in September.
Great day, i have never actually seen the snares in action, those work really well.
They do the trick and you are able to cast farther to cover more ground. Thanks for watching. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
We saw you there that day and were out for our first crab snaring attempts. You did great.
I may have stolen your spot…
I hope you guys did well. Good luck on all your crabbing excursions. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Great spot for flounder and surf perch too 🤙
Gonna do that someday. Do you use just shrimp or sand shrimp for flounders?
@@BackFishing actually have used just regular night crawlers reeled slowly along the bottom, but have talked to people using sand shrimp that did pretty well too.
14:00 “It’s hard enough”. That what she said. 😂😂
Great video brother and Awsome catch man you make it look so simple
Trying to keep it as simple as possible. 2 poles is plenty when they are active this day. Appreciate the comments. Thanks for watching. GL 🤙🏽🤙🏽
You’re a pro now.
Appreciate it the comment. Just trying to share the outdoors. If I can do it, it's doable for everyone else.🤙
Love watching your videos. Your adventures and sharing of knowledge are great. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for watching. Always appreciate the comments.
Excellent crabbing and great video as usual bro. 👍👍👍
Roy, thank you. Hope your well enough to go out soon. I know you slam them all the time. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
@@BackFishingthanks Hale', I've been back crabbing since October 12th, two weeks after the elbow surgery, lot and lot of big males there. 👍👍👍
What a day!

Sorry to hear you guys got sick. Let's meet sometime in Tillamook. Sounds like a good time. I'm in CA now thru Thanksgiving but back after that.

Use a glove,or finger protector when casting with braided line. Keeps you from getting cut.
Tight drag too. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Awesome! Garlic crab time! Woohoo!
You know that recipe! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Me and my husband love watching all of your adventures! We live in Oregon, and we are just starting our crab snaring adventures around the Bandon area! Where would be a good spot to try in the Tillamook area?
Siletz Bay in Taft is closer. I've gone Winchester bay on the piers. Barview Jetty is good. GL
Where is this spot I wanna go for the first time

One of these days will have to hook up with you.Have my Hip replacement surgery in July so 6 weeks off jumping on Rocks to risky
Bummer this weekend am workin
We are not familiar with the northern coast. Where exactly are you crabbing? It looks like a lot of fun.
Just look at shallow bays and estuaries at low tide in the Tillamook area. They can be found in this manner. If your referring to crab snaring, they can be found anywhere with sandy bottoms along the beach or jetties. GL

Looks amazing! Can I ask where specifically this is at?
Tillamook Bay area, Oregon
Are you North or South of Tillamook? I'd like to give that technique a try. Thankyou for the video.
South Tillamook. Thanks for watching. GL
Way cool
Glad you enjoyed the content. Thank you for the commenting!
Nice video. What rod and reel are you using?
Thank you. Equipment I used is written in the description of the video details.
Barview is north of Tillamook, yet you are saying in the comments that you are SOUTH of Tillamook?? HUH?? Netarts?? Looks North
Being mindful without creating more fishing pressure for the locals. Hope you understand. You are on the right track. GL

Where is that in tillamook
What weight line do you recommend for snaring in the surf, and do you add any weight to your snares?
I pour about 8 - 10 oz on my snares and use 50lb-60lb braid. Less stretch on braid vs mono and can cast further.
@@BackFishing Wow, that's heavy duty line. Thank you.
Are you selling any snares ?
Lots of people have ask me but unfortunately I don't sell my snares at this time. I have seen custom made one online like Offerup etc..GL
Inspiring and so full of love!! Want more likes? Check Promo sm!!!
Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out.
