The weather appears ok on Sunday so I was going to try for some crab at HMB. I could use some company.
Launching at the old pier at 7am.

When I saw no replies to my post, I thought I must have been wrong about the good weather forecast but I decided to go check out the conditions in person. I really didn't want to go out by myself. I got to the old pier at a little after 7 and the parking lot was empty. There was no wind at all so I figured I'd give it a try.
I got out to about a little past parallel with the green bouy, and dropped 4 pots. Not another kayak in sight. I checked them in about a half hour and the first 3 were all tiny females. The last one had some undersized and a jumbo. I worked them for a total of 2 hours. Pulled up the first 3 and got 2 more. One was a jumbo and 2 were just legal Pulled up the final pot , it had 2 huge jumbos and one legal size.
I ended up with a total of 6. Enough for dinner. Most of the big ones were in the one trap in about 39 feet of water.

Thats decent considering you dropped 4 pots. Wow..thats a long haul with that many pots. Do you have some type of mounts to keep them in place so they dont move/shift on your yak?

Actually, it's a box trap and 3 rings. I don't have any mounts. I stack the rings in the front and the box behind the seat on my outback. They seem to stay pretty well so far.

May venture out of Rockaway this weekend if the swells are what they say they are (magic seaweed).
Let me know if you'd like to join. PM me
