Chad Campbell you think I could get the name of that dock. I’m trying to get my two kids out with me to do some father and son stuff. We’ve gone two times to Pacifica with no luck. Thanks in advanced
@@rustycarsmatter6823 Good luck. No one is going to tell you anything. Before you know it, people everywhere, trash everywhere, alcohol and fights, a burnt dock and no more crabs to catch. That's ALWAYS how good pier/good spot goes bad.
@@johnnyle6816 Yeah totally, I always love sharing good spots so others can enjoy them too. This dock is in Florence Oregon at the south jetty, parking section 5. Good luck and let us know how you do👍
Im still catching up on your older vids since Im new to your channel, but Im impressed, you are a diehard! You're living my life goals, I live in the rocky mountain desert and would move to the coast in a minute if I could.
@@flight6662 first, those aren't Blue's. Their Dungeness, maybe some Red Rock. I'd have to watch again to know for sure. Second, don't boil any crab, always steam with Old Bay. Edit: After watching again, yes they are all Dungeness. Unfortunatly we don't have Blue Crab on the west coast, which sucks (I'm from Maryland).
I miss the Gulf blues. I live close to the Indian River now. The crab taste fishy and kind of nasty. I haven't gone in a while. A few years at least! I'll try again when I can get my salt water license. Money probs. And someone stole my last pot! Fuckers!!! Grrrr!
I love videos like this :) Another thing I used to do when i went crabbing was using scraps you can buy at the super market or bait stores, they basically use it for chum. you add it to the trap in a small either plastic or metal grate and its just meant to attract the crabs. After doing some calculations on it, it had a significant affect that attracted about 15-25% more crabs per pot. I should say it attracted more keepers. I used a netting that kept all the pieces together with either, with either chicken, or cut bait thrown into the trap. I've always heard people using wet cat food for this trick but its something to give it a try. I've had a lot of luck with the supermarket scraps, and fish either spines or w.e they give me. most managers know about it, at least to my knowledge. ^^
Step 1 don't buy expensive equipment. Step 2 buy a ball of twine. Step 3 buy a chicken neck. Step 4 tie chicken neck securely with twine. Step 5 drop into water and wait 2 minutes. step 6 slowly bring up and put crab(s) in bucket.
This shit works. Did it in the gulf with a friend to catch blue crab. Caught 35 in about an hour with some Paracord some chicken necks and a net to grab em before they get wise and let go of the goods.
I am so jealous! I live in Florida. All I can get is blues. Iv'e never had a Dungeoness because of the cost. It would be so nice to eat a bigger, more meaty crab. I love my blues, but it's a lot of work. Much less juice for the squeeze...
Oh man. That’s nice crabbing. I’m in South Florida, mainly doing blue crabs. And you’re right. The mesh on your pots is too big for us. We need 1 1/2”, the minimum required by law for POTS, even if hung from piers. And we need 3 escape kulls/rings for smaller ones to escape, plus a degradable panel in case the pot is lost. Laws are nuts, but no minimum size. You just can’t take females with eggs.
Awesome experience caught on film. You got to do what you have to do. "Close but no Cigar"! Nice quality trap made for a nice catch of Dungeness crabs!
South Jetty. Very nice place. I go there several times a year. Would be sweet to run into you there shooting a new video. Your drive looks just like mine. Coming from the Eugene/Springfield area. I've always been crabbing from docks never had a chance on a boat yet. Great video!
Looks great fun and you get a good dinner into the bargain !!!!!!! over here in northern Denmark we must wait for spring to have a go at the crabs so im happy watching your films for now !!! good stuff mate!!
yo PK you're really cool! that rough, rainy, windy weather is my kind of weather too! I love getting out and testing my endurance lol. I can't believe you can catch so many so quickly over there. only 10 min??? and 1 pull, dang...now I gotta go visit Oregon again. hey so you should totally rename your video: how to catch crab in horrible weather. everyone knows how to crab from docks now! this is an excellent example of crabbing in crap weather.
What’s the hurry? You went to all the trouble to get dressed and drag the pots out. Besides, there’s bait left. Nice catch. A lot of smalls but a few keepers makes the day. Well done.
Hinestly for the price of chicken legs I didnt think it would be worth it over just using the left overs of catch but with the view from under water and how they just stack it really surprises me and sorta seems more worth it.
i am here in Massachusetts and i never tried this type of crabbing and i got to say it looks fun ,would you recommend me trying this here i really not sure if we do have those type of crap here but i know we have blue crap i like to try useing pots off docks ,,what type of permits you need if you can help me thanks love the video learning alot from them
Hi great crabbing was just wondering if you would be able to give me the dimensions of your crab traps you are using would love to build some for use in Australia .TIA
Funny... You do not want the clean crab. Those crabs have shed their shell recent and they lack the fat that makes the meat taste better. Crab fat rules. Remember... squeeze the upper leg , the shell should be firm and not soft. Better crab.
Hi! Thank you for your video. Mind sharing what specific Lane County park this is? I might try my hand at crabbing for the first time soon! 😊 Thanks again!
Haha all the dock to yourself You should see here in Vancouver BC a lot of people on the dock crabing and getting tangled up when pulling the cages out
Seems like an excessive amount of bait. Do you catch less crabs with less bait? I don't even use half of much bait and we get plenty. Just curious as to what your thoughts are
seen you pulling your boat in coos bay this Wednesday morning as we where launching ours , how did you do we got 18 keeper dungies and a few rocks and 5 black rock fish and lost 1 big ling to a seal
Haha man you got some good hands! Even after crab fishing for many years, a few go's per year, I am still very careful with the claws, but you go nuts, claws are not problems at all! Would you say the gloves help you at all with that or is it just experience?
I lived in Alaska back in the late 80's and 90's and had a lot of experience with dungeness crab handling. Caught them all the time, and also worked in a crab room in a fish cannery (Petersburg Fisheries - Icicle Seafoods). They aren't that hard to handle. And the gloves are to prevent cuts/scrapes from their sharp spines. I find grabbing them by the claws to be the easiest, most comfortable for me.
Best bait is fresh fish, it’s the crabs natural food. Chicken is used because it’s easy to get, inexpensive and easy to work with. Fresh fish will out fish chicken or old fish every time.
I do not buy Chicken legs or Brest ,, If you go to a butcher you can just use the Scrap Chicken they would toss in the Garbage either really Cheap or for free they work very well ,, May be add a Turkey Neck also , This is a lot cheaper and just as effective also tides have a lot to do with catching crabs either 1 hour before a low slack or a high slack start crabbing ,, I Crab off the docks all around Vancouver BC
Hi, thanks for uploading the video! Where is this place? We are planning to catch crab this weekend. (Is this weekend good time to catch?) And can the tools rented nearby? And is license required? Thank you!
It's a little slow right now for crabbing on the Oregon coast. This was in Florence. The season picks up around late August. Yes, you need a shellfish permit to catch crabs. I don't know of any rental spots, but I know the Charleston harbor has a bait shop that rents crab traps.
he is at the south jetty in florence oregon i crab there all the time and get skunked but he did pretty well maybe it was the stormy weather if you want to catch a lot of crab a much nicer spot is in old town on the dock next to moes restaurant the dock says no crabbing but you can crab there and there is a lot less wind we catch our limit there every time we go hahah we are headed down there tomorrow. great video
@@tamedwildernesss5891 in florence oregon old town near mo's restaurant there is a dock you can crab off that dock and you dont have to worry about all the wind you get at the south jetty
The tide wasn't moving much that day, so I figured the extra weight/stones weren't needed. I usually put in about 2-3# extra stones if the tide is really ripping.
Thank you, I saw one of your videos where you had some small workout weights, which is what I did with my traps and I just leave 2 - 2lbs weights in the traps all the time, gives me an extra workout. :-) Keep up the great videos and I hope to see you out there sometime.
Hi there PK, Where along the Oregon Coast did you go? Just wondering? How much is the Crabbing License in Oregon? I'm a Resident, Finally, How LONG did you leave your pots in the water and is there a Season you can CRAB, What about Crabbing in April or May??
Florence. Shellfish license are $12 a year (expires 12/31, doesn't matter when you buy it). Congrats on being a resident! I let it soak for about 1 hour or more. Crabbing season is open year round in bays. It's best from late August until about December. April or May might be a little slow for crabbing. It'll pick back up in late summer. Good luck.
Hey I'm new to your channel I was just wondering how to go about crabbing cuz I'm going to go out today for the first time you have any pointers and congratulations on getting all those crabs
Not sure what method you are planning for, but for boat crabbing in the bays: I just use a crab pot like this blue one, or you can get the square black ones, they both work. I leave it down for about 1 and check it. For jetty crabbing, a snare or a crab hawk works best. You definitely want a long and sturdy pole to cast the snares/crab hawk. I let it soak for 5-7 minutes and then bring it up. For pier crabbing, get a crab ring or 2 (you're allowed 3 in Oregon), and about 50-100 foot of rope and toss it in for about 15 minutes then check them. For bait, I find chicken is the best bait. Usually, this time of year is pretty slow for crabbing but you never know. Go on in incoming high tide. good luck.
@@oregonlife Hello it's nice to hear back from you now just have a middle one like yours to throw in the water but it's not as big just like you chicken or Lake what best time is to go in the morning or afternoon
