    Put a glow stick next to the bait and you can see the crap cover it and just pull it up, even better when night crabbing.

    I have done Blue Manna crabbing at jetties in Western Australia, using a drop net and fish bait. Kangaroo meat can also be used. Another way is to use a scoop net to scoop them up when they swim near the surface. Wardens make random checks to ensure that no undersized crabs and those with eggs are taken. As the fine is hefty, a crab gauge is used to measure the carapace (shell). Each person is allowed to catch 20 crabs per day, an indication that they are plentiful in summer. Crabbing is fun!

    Very nice. Blue crabs look little. Do they have much meat? We use some of the meat from local Dungeness crabs to make a delicious crab mousse. Hope you'll take a look sometime. This is a very instructive video!

    if you use a regular crab pot then you get more crabs with less work. Plus you can quite a few pots out with just a reglar fishing permit.

    Don't wear sneakers with cloth sides. I learned this the hard way. He reached up with both claws and latched on to each side of my foot. Ouch! In your other post i was reminded of a time when I was a young kid. An older was trying to show off by grabbing a crab from the rear and holding him upside down. He said, "they go to sleep when upside down". He then proceed to play with its mouth to prove it. Bam! That sucker latched on to his finger (drawing blood) with it's claw and wasn't letting go.

    The best crab trap is the FloorDoorCrabTrap. Unlike traditional box and pyramid traps that have 4 doors that don't work half the time, the Floor Door Crab Trap only has the floor door... And it works EVERY time! Put it in your search engine or check out the youtube video.

    In Florida it's illegal to 🦀 snares.
    But they told me to tie a chicken 🍗 on a line or my 🐠 line
    But
    How do I make 2- 6 loop that can trap the 🦀
    Because 1 loop will not make me Have a BETTER chance of trapping 🦀

    I prefer the metal pyramid traps, that way at least you won't lose your trap when a stingray steals your bait.

  • @diegoreds
    @diegoreds 12 років тому

    Two Sticks and Clothes line.... go 20 feet in water off rocks ... Place in sticks with line held up each end of stick..... Then 5 to 7 feet of fishing line with chicken neck on end.... Tie to line throw out... as soon as line get straight ... slow pull with net to see crab on end.. Scoop... fill the cooler in 2 hours.... good luck
