    Back in the late 40's I used to go crabbing with my father on the NJ side of the Hudson River by the George Washington Bridge. We used the traps where all 4 sides would drop down, if you cast it right. Everybody had their favorite bait. We used small Butterfish, some people liked chicken heads or other meat products. Well aged seem to work better. When they were running you could take them home in a bushel basket. We always referred to them as Jersey Blue crabs. Boy those were the days.

    Love your video and like the raw footage without the edits, makes it more authentic and real. I’m just getting into this sport with my kids and your channel is so awesome. Question, why are you not using the trenching shovel and instead using the post hole digger? For a newbie, it looks more challenging and inefficient but I’m sure I’m missing something. Thanks

    These are Frazer river hatcher fish. When I fish which was last 2 weeks in Sept. I had caught several that had implants in there head. I was there when the Olson's had the marina. There is no such thing as a wild salmon since the indians took over the hatchers.

    I did not observe I crossed a private parcel on the GPS. If I did cross onto private property, it was not intentional. Are you certain there is only one approach?

    @@WAFishQuest quite certain. Especially as the beginning signage is not long after you crossed the footbridge with multiple signs stating to not enter. The part you didn't show prior to rolling up to that signage in video 🤔 you knew what you were doing.

    This spot is already fairly well-known due to the grayling. (You can punch it into Google and a number of sites come up). It's just not fished much because the hike is challenging. I do understand your concern tho. I did a video called "KZreadrs and spot burning," might be worth a watch. We're probably not as far off as you may think.

    Yes they will eat dogfish. Their is a group of guys illegally targeting ghem for internet fame here in Tacoma. They sometimes use dogfish cut into chunks for bait. The plan if a game warden confronts them is to say they are targeting skate.
