Park pit restroom toilet seats.Any you avoid now? Thanks for sharing.
I'm pretty sure you'll get crabs there....Park pit restroom toilet seats.
You're welcome!
Good way to loose a crab pot, though.Off the dock at Alsea Bay, right in front of the Salty Dog Tavern. Check the pots, head in for a beer or two, come back out, rinse and repeat. Works rain or shine.
I'd have no problem using a thief as bait, heck I don't even eat seafood but enjoy catching it. So, the thief would probably be more of a crab meal than bait to catch a crab.Good way to loose a crab pot, though.
Family friends of mine we're out night crabbing off a pier last month. They took a bit of a break for some hot snacks and coffee.... where only gone 15 minutes or so and went back to find someone had cut all their lines. They were able to snag a couple of the floating lines and retrieve them, but ended up losing 3 of them.
We went over a week later with scuba gear to pull them up, but someone had been in before us and cleaned them out.
There is a market for selling retrieved rings and pots to local businesses/hotels who rent them out to tourists. In my high school days... that's how we used to fund our gas and air fills for dive trips... so I can't fault the practice, but cutting peoples lines is a whole different ballgame.
Tell me about it! I'm the one that pulls the pots.
And using chicken for bait seems to work as well as anything.At the beach.
Actually, Charleston Harbor right against the south wall is OK, but I prefer to be further inland and closer to the north side. I think it's the Empire boat launch where I like to put in, then cross to the other side.
Beaver works the best.....not sure it's legal or notAnd using chicken for bait seems to work as well as anything.
im not with her anymore, no more crabs for me.What are some of your favorite spots to go crabbing in the Pacific Northwest? Any you avoid now? Thanks for sharing.
