  • Blue Crabbing, making and using a Blue Crab handline. In this video we'll show you how we make and use our handlines to catch Blue Crabs. We'll go over the type of line we use, how to attach the crab bait, storing the handlines and using the handline to catch some Blue Crabs. We made this video mostly for beginners. #bluecrabs #catchingbluecrabs #handlineingbluecrabs #makingahandline

    Very instructive.. thank you... I would take the old wire hangers from the laundry ( my lawyer step dads shirts) & unwind them & remake them into crab bait clips... EZ...just need the hangers , pliers & snips... you can figure it out if ya haven't already... unwind the wire shirt hanger.. till you have a straight 3-4 feet?? then snip it in 1/2 & make a "paper clip" shape & a curl/hook at the end ... works great... made a good bit of side cash 30+ years ago before we even knew what recycling was!!

      Sadly, I think the bounty just isn’t what it used to be, and so the price is high.
      A lot of the live blue crabs sold in the supermarkets here are shipped up from Mississippi. If you want the jumbo Marylands you gotta pay. 😬

      We have a black net but it makes no difference. I think they see us, it makes a difference as to which way the sun is facing, but sometimes nothing bothers them they just hang on and you can lift them right in. I guess that's why there will always be crabs. Thanks for Watching
