I made something similar because crabs kept eating my bait (salmon scrap & fresh bait) So I put fishing line with slip knots to my weight. Figured might as well since we werent catching any hali that day. It works. I like crab snaring much better than using the large crab cages that can be stolen after you leave them somewhere or have someone come along and empty your trap before you get back to it. Thanks.

In CA, both males and females can be taken as long as they are over 5 3/4" although some consider it bad ettiquite. Check out Department of fish and wildlife for complete regulations. 10 max per person per day and Season starts Nov 2nd. Happy Crabbing

I see you're at the Pacifica pier in Nor Cal. I'm fairly new to the whole crab fishing scene. I have some questions. 1. Why do people at Pacifica Pier use snares over pots (mostly)? 2. Do seal lions take baits from snare cages too (as they do with pot cage) in which case, you will zip tie the cage door? 3. Using a snare and line, how heavy should the cage be?

I just found out about crab snaring this morning. How do you decide what size box to use and what do you use for bait? Is there a restriction on snare box size? This looks like fun! One more question....what kind of rods do you use (length, action, power, etc)? Thanks for the informative video!
@alexkg1
10 жыл бұрын
You can pretty much use any size you like. The one he shows in the vid is a pretty good size. You can also go for the square ones which hold a bit more bait, and work just as well. Restrictions on your crab snare is going to depend on what state you're in. As for bait, I've tried various types of fish, squid, chicken hearts and gizzards, chicken meat, and chicken livers, and they all work just as well. The main determinate seems to be when and where you are crabbing at.

Wow! What are the odds! I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the clips at Pacifica Pier. I'm from Daly City and I've only recently picked up fishing/crabbing as a hobby, but I was wondering if you happened to know where I could buy chicken necks locally? After doing some internet research, chicken necks seemed to be the best bait according to the general consensus. I've tried Safeway and Pacific Supermarket but no luck. Thanks!

You need to drown those things in Old Bay Seasoning when you steam them suckers. That's half the flavor. If people from the Chesapeake Bay area saw that you didn't use the seasoning, they would think you're a communist or something. Order some of it online if you can't get it locally or make it yourself. Do you use beer and/or vinegar? Check out the recipe for steaming blue crabs. It's hard to beat it. Ok, now I'm off to get a few crab snares to try out. Thanks for the video.
