  • I went crabbing with my friend Bob & Howard at Waldport, Oregon. We did pretty good, and got 2 limits early. We used chicken, and halibut head for bait.

    Great video. 30 years ago we went to the Alsea Bay Dock at Waldport and walked in and rented a small boat, crab pots and bait. We had a blast and caught wonderful crab. Tried to do it yesterday, found out boats are all rented out for days in advance . It’s becoming very popular! Plan ahead, if you need to rent!

    Great video - thx for sharing! We live in Tahoe but coming up to Oregon for the holiday weekend. Crabbed from the docks in Winchester last time in the beginning of August but only two were big enough (and they were amazing). Thinking of hitting Waldport this time and maybe even renting a boat. Any recommendations? Or we could try Newport too or head down to Coos Bay. Have my husband and 2 kids with me and we all can't wait to get out of the smoke and heat that is filling our skies Just want a good place to rent gear and a boat from. Otherwise we can just crab from one of the public docks. Kids want to go clamming too. I have not researched that yet - lol!

    • @oregonlife
      @oregonlife  4 роки тому

      All of the docks you mentioned are good. The best time for dock crabbing in Oregon is in October/November. Night time is better, and look for low tidal fluctuations. Waldport has a good crab dock and the walk isn't as far the dock in Newport. You can also toss crab hawks while your pots soak. Good luck.
