I've been highly successful at catching crab from the shore using crab snares and a heavy duty fishing pole and reel.
I've recently been turned onto castable nets and I've got to thinking about how to cast these into the ocean from the beach without a pole.
I want to use paracord and a stake instead. I tried the Olympic version of crabbing where I swing the thing around a bunch like a volley and was only able to get it out about 30-50 yards out that way. I can cast my snare (roughly 8-10 ounces) about 70-80 yards. I've left the nets out at the distances I can get for up to an hour and they show no sign of nibbling on the bait. My snares usually show signs of nibbling after about 15 minutes.
Any thoughts?
I was considering the fun factor of a cam cannon, but legalities might not be in my favor.
Long stick? How would I insure it would release?
I've been stepping up my camp cuisine thanks to the ability to pull in fresh crab! Some food from the more recent camping excursion…
Crab nets I'm using are Crab Max nets. Got them while in Newport direct!
