Has anyone used a crab snare from a kayak?

I'm curious if anyone has used a crab snare from a kayak.  I was thinking about trying to use one while I'm rock fishing.  Does anyone have any experience or ideas about this.  I think I'll weight it to get it down fast, but I'm not sure what to use for bait, or how long I need to soak it before checking it.
Thanks

I doubt it will work since you need a drift to catch some real nice fish!

It works you're at anchor or slow drift.  As for baits, anchovies, squids, chicken should all work.

I don't think dungies are in season anymore unless you are up north. And the rock crab are harder to get on the snare becasue they have such little feet. I always use squid in mine, and it works like magic. Last trip to Doran I did better with the snare from the rocks then the traps that soaked overnight.

Like mentioned before you would have to have an anchor to use a snare. The idea with the snare is that you let it sit there and have the crabs come to it. I always say wait a few minutes and pull the rod back. If it feels like there is a bowling ball attached then reel it in. If it feel light then let it sit for another 5 minutes.

Just my $0.02

It might be difficult to do it while RFing.  I usually fish sandy areas for dungies and put the reel in freespool. Wait a 3-5 minutes depending on the area and if they're crawling.  Lift your rod gently to feel if there's pressure on the other end and set it. Otherwise, wait a bit more.

I can't wait until the start of the season when it's WFO. Forget the traps, get your limits snaring in 100+ fow!

Also, do you make your own snares? (that's how I got started fishing the salt, so I'm a bit enthused about it lol)

I can't wait until the start of the season when it's WFO.

I heard that! I love the first few months of crab season!
