Clean and Cook Your Dungeness Crabs |
These are surely not the best dungeness crabbing photos I've taken from my many crabbing excursions (and I will update them soon). Please be sure to measure your crabs and ONLY keep males. Female crabs are illegal to keep.All you need for a nice crabbing adventure is the following: Crab Rings or Houses, Bait (I prefer chicken), A bait holder, Rope, Buckets, and a Crab Measuring Guide - all can be found anywhere in this area. Another great piece of equipment to use to catch crabs is the Crabhawk; It is attached to a fishing pole and can be used from docks, piers, boats, waverunners, and kayaks It will certainly get you out to where the big crabs are if you don't have a boat. There are some pictures below showing most of the equipment you will need for a wonderful dungeness crabbing adventure. There is no real secret to catching a limit of crabs - some days are better than others, but you need to crab on the slack tide - preferably the high slack tide for the day. The crabs are always there so if you are here visiting try your luck anytime. Be sure to check the tide tables for the best times to go dungeness crabbing. Should you have any other questions don't hesitate to send me an email. I will be happy to help you in any way that I can. I've also included a page about Cooking and Cleaning Dungeness Crab Page. limit.
