I'd just loop the pre tied snelled leader thru the dropper loop.

Watching videos of people "dunking" in Hawaii, crabs are an easy go-to bait there and seems to work.  I was also intrigued by your video, and was totally wanting to know the same thing, since I've seen so many cabs with a crab in their belly. Was really hoping you would score one with crabs you harvested!  Either way, it was another fun episode, and really enjoy your channel.  :smt002

Yessir!
I've caught many a cab from the rocks as a youngster using striped shore crabs in the Fort Ross area. 3oz river sinker (or sparks plugs) below a snelled #1 hook on a dropper loop. The cabs just inhale them and swim off. Fun stuff.

Does anyone else have a problem with their foodsaver melting the seal too much and allowing air to penetrate the bag? It seems to me that mine gets too hot after sealing a couple bags. I can actually see the bag slightly inflate after I release the lock mechanism. Sometimes I grab a fillet from the freezer and there is a noticeable pocket of air.  :smt013
I've got the costco model and buy my bags there or amazon as well.
Try buying some bags with thicker plastic and see if that prevents the problem.
Thicker bags are quite impressive.  Gonna look for rolls a touch thicker than generic food saver rolls.  Any leads? :smt006

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CQ8IXIK/ are the ones I use.  I often give up on the vacuum cstage and press seal to start sealing despite liquid being present in the textured channels.  I have yet to need to double seal the way I did with the FoodSaver brand.  They're also less than half the price of FoodSaver brand bags.

Right on! Gonna check it out.

If you all already camping at OC, it's a no-brainer. The launch is right there. Easy and free.
The other spots are great, but the fishing is all about the same.

Great story and fun to see.

I grew up about 2 blocks away from her house and lived there 1963-1985. Used to deliver newspapers to her house. She's always been a legend. During the 1970s, Mike Fong lived a few houses up on the other side of the street from Jacky.  He was a great fisherman, and he and his wife wrote articles for Angler magazine and other pubs.  Angler mag was a cool pub that was short-lived but had great NorCal, and other area, articles. Still have a few issues stored away in the attic.  I can remember articles on  fishing stripers from the rocks in SF and the past run of stripers on the Russian River.  Lots of good memories growing up in that neighborhood at that time, and fishing on PAL boats as a kid for salmon and rockfish.  A friend's dad worked at the old fish companies down at Fisherman's Wharf. Sometimes he'd take us on Saturdays and we'd fish and crab off the piers behind the buildings while he worked. Good times.

Love the story John!
