New Crab Snare Design and Dungeness Update at Baker Beach!

I came up with this new design sorta by accident but I think it works?? This footage was from 2/9 at Baker. Pretty fun day catching crabs but didn't end up bringing any home for the dinner table!

Lol i'm not sure it worked as designed but i caught a couple with it!

You were crushing it, just too bad they were all short. It’s getting late in the snaring season now that the commercial boats sucked up all the big males.

[@gc_in_dc]

Haha the story of my life! Yeh man, it seems like most guys are pulling up a lotta shorts. Even the guys on boats and kayaks for the most part.

@@gc_in_dc we stopped 5 pots in HMB a couple weeks ago and got zero keeper Dungeness compared to 18 really big rock crabs. Dungeness were there but all small or females. Can’t wait for next season already. For now I buy crab at the local markets. 🤣

@@tho464 wow that's pretty crazy! I've never actually eaten rock crab but I hear they're pretty good too. Might have to get back to fishing!

Interesting design idea! Can I ask what you use for your loops?

[@gc_in_dc]

I usually use Shakespeare trimmer line, .065 in the ✳️ shape!
