Suggestion: attach weights to the inside of the trap doors, so that they close completely when the crab walk in. Sometimes the big ones get away when another crab walks in and the door doesn't close right away

@@RangerDanger66 not at all. They're very strong & you only need to put a small weight, like 3 ounces or so.

Adam, we don't have Dungeness crabs in Socal. But a few years back I went to Ports of Call to buy some live. I miss handled one,and I'm telling you it pinched the Cowboy Dog Dokie out of me. So moral of the story (be careful). Nice video 😊

If this were Taku, he would have accidentally dropped the first two males while turning around to put them in the cooler :D

The halibut bite near N.Brighton and Capitola finally kicked in with some really nice fish . Huge reds( max limit 4) some near 10lbs also available in the deep water

Thanks for keeping us motivated in the bay!!

Been waiting for a new video. Thanks for the upload.

Way too many things have been jumping in my way this year for crabbing. My kingdom for a trip to the beach!! I hope to be able to get out on the party boats this season too. Nice to see you doing a crab trip! Thanks Adam

Nothing like a good Crab feast! Awesome video!

Great catches Adam 👍👍👍 thanks for sharing

Nice haul! Caught some off the pier the other day they're still hittin! 🦀🦀 Crab on!

Mad respect for releasing the females 💯💪

Like to see a catch and cook with those crabs

Excellent video Adam! You will eat well tonight!!

Ooooo those look so nice..hope you had a great feast! 🦀 🤘🏻

Nice Job! I thought for sure the coast was cleaned out.

If everyone kept all the caught reds they are helping reducing the competition for food for dungeness and hopefully increase their quantity, size and quality of their meat. Also for those who don't like Reds, I learned that red crab makes great soup stock.

Also keep all the red females. That too will reduce their population and help the dungeness.

Thank you! They are plentiful and available all year round. There are always friends, family or needy families who would love some crab. Crab fried rice is good. Stock, chowder, crab cakes, etc. Same for purple sea urchins which are invasive and destroy kelp forests. Good to dive for or collect near shore.

Nice Adam

I hope you eat inside the shell of the crab, unlike a lot of people in Florida and Carolina, where they take the shell off and clean the fats between the body.

Good tip to carry a compass when out on the open ocean. Electronics can always fail.

Do you need to pay any extra fee if you’re using hoop nets? I thought that if you use hoop nets you can just use your fishing license but have to mark the buoy with your number. Awesome video man.

Awesome tutoring, how about a catch and cook with those crabs

If you throw your buoy out first then let it straighten out your rope you don’t have to worry about having to slowly lower it down with the heavy weight.

How do you wet suit up nearly every day?? Do your crab pots have a "rot line" so lost ones don't fish forever??

Hello, Olaf how are you? Has Adam taken you to the beach lately? I have not seen you on a vlog in awhile! 😥

I wonder something if u can try it for me I would really appreciate it and I think others would love to see what happens if u take a clove of garlic and use it as bait - for fish and crabs.... please. I know it works for mud crabs. But I wonder if it will in the Pacific I bet unless they read this no one could guess what it is (if it also works)

Great video Adam. Just one suggestion. Please buy yourself a quality microphone.

Thanks! I have experimented with a few different mics but it’s really hard to do on a kayak. With water splashing everywhere I had to get rid of the external mics as they kept getting dunked with water

if they are allowing crabbing are they lifting restrictions on Salmon ???
