Hoop nets don't work too well for dungies because they run off of them really quickly. I have been crabbin all my life. When we switched to pots we slayed them. They have some awesome collapsible crab pots that are super light weight and great for kayaks. I was there yesterday and limited out in only 50-60ft of water. The jetty always produces a ton of rock crabs. Sounds like good times. Be safe!

Report that to the fish and game and to the harbor master! That has been a problem for years in HMB. Since I was a kid and before I am sure. Years ago Dad and I saw someone throw one of our pots back in the water as we approached. Dad chased him down and me with a graff in my hand threatened to board their boat and run the Graf through their guts! They shit their pants and needless to say headed straight to the dock and I am sure left quickly. Nowadays threatening people isn't the way to do it. Take their information and a pick or goPro video and turn them in so they pay the price for stealing and poaching because I am sure they don't care about limits either!

I use a 40qt pot with a big camping style burner. I add two jalapeños split down the middle two onions sliced into 1/4 inch rounds, a small bunch of parsley and a couple table spoons seasoning salt. Once crabs are in and water reaches boiling point again another 5-10 mins and you will be feasting on some delicious crab! Portagee recipe!!!

Good thing I won't be scoring any of those off of my Yak! Oh, and yes some of the fines seem ridiculous and more about money making than environmental protection.
