Propstick for crabbing...

[Foursteps24]

I might add that those were some tasty crabs. I steamed mine last night and they tasted nice and sweet. Im thinking about going again Friday morning. I had a ball out there. All I need to get is a crabbing glave to make transfer of crabs from traps to cooler smoother. I had my crab tongs but had to turn a little too much for my liking to put in the cooler. I got comfortable out there and I am thinking of trying more traps next time. I have 21 total that I mostly use from the Bill Burton Pier.

Dude, I meant to call you and tell you how good they were. Another thing I noticed was how feisty they were when I dumped them in the sink. Way different from when I buy them!

Great job on the perch Moc. Those are some nice ones.

You guys did great on the crabs. You made running that trotline look easy Metro. Did you find that crab that tried to get your wife?

[MetroMan]

She ate em. Cruel world we live in!

Great thread and video.

You looked like a pro out there metroman.

Thats one of the reasons i wanted a kayak.
My boats to big to crab from so Im looking forward to try to crab from the yak as well.

Any body crab with a trotline with a hobie?
Just wondering if the fins would spook the crabs off the trotline?

I haven't noticed the fins causing any issues with scaring away fish when trolling, so I wouldn't imagine creeping up a crab line in a slow, steady, peddle, peddle rhythm would do anything to cause the crabs to turn loose from a chicken neck...the "Crab Whisperer" that inspired Metroman uses a Hobie Revolution to crab from.

I rigged my Hobie Revolution for crabbing. I posted a YouTube video on it. Here is the link:

I have been crabbing with a trotline for many years off of a canoe. I just adapted the ideas that worked the best for me to my Hobie Revolution. It worked great. I will have to do it again before the crabs leave the rivers.

This is the Crab Whisperer over and out......
