    Go with the Washington crab size. I tossed back lots of 5 3/4 inch males on my first pull today and still kept three over 6 1/4 inch keepers.
    Good idea to check firmness. Lots of soft shelled crabs out there.

    I can only dream of pots like that. PK is there any commercial crabbing around where your pots were? Reason I ask is we crab in North bay, WA by Ocean shores. The outside of the bay is littered with commercial pots. We are lucky to get 1-2 keepers per pot, lucky to get even 5 crab in a pot period. I really believe the commercial pots are just cutting us off before crab even get in the bay. Pretty frustrating.

    Hello from Chesapeake Bay. I’ve been watching a lot of your videos. Can you tell us about the season, limits for gear, etc? Your traps are really sturdy looking and well made but the regs here say we can’t use traps that size in Maryland. I love Oregon and am thinking of planning a trip to hunt fish and crab

    • @Twitchytim
      @Twitchytim 4 роки тому +1

      Yes! You can clean them the same exact way as you would pre, and post cooked. Take the top off, peel back the apron, crack in half... shake out the guts. Usually one takes one good shake, and de-gill. Then done

    • @oregonlife
      @oregonlife  4 роки тому

      for my crab pots, I let it soak about 30 min to 1 hour. Just a simple overhand knot. doesn't need to be fancy since it's taped and won't come off.

Also any chance you know how much rope one might need to fish off the crab dock in Winchester Bay? Thanks for all the great videos, still trying to figure out all the best crabbing spots oregon has to offer.

    • @oregonlife
      @oregonlife  4 роки тому

      I got them off Amazon. You can try Cabela's and Bass Pro Shop too. Never crabbed off Winchester Bay dock, but I'd imagine a 100 foot rope will suffice. Crabbing spots: www.everylist.com/forum/index.php?threads/where-to-crab-and-clam-in-oregon-oregon-crabbing-clamming-maps.27/

  • @arkster00
    @arkster00 4 роки тому

    I think it would be better to remove that bait cage and zip tie or hang bait loosely. It just seems that the bait cage is too close to the entrance to the pot and large crabs will likely cause a traffic jam going inside. Likely the door will be kept open causing large legal size crab to escape.

    Buy Danielson...cheap, and needs a few minor (cheap) modifications. I've used them in the ocean with the only change being a little extra weight and a longer line.

      You don't need to a boat. License isn't that expensive. For bait use any expired,spoiled, or freezer burned meat or fish. For the trap you don't need a cage like this one they sell cages that are like boxes for like $10. Plus you can keep like 12 dungeness crab (in oregon) which more than pays for your gear if we are going of dungeness crab prices in stores.
