Best Crab Bait and where to get them cheap.

That's just wrong .... so right, yet so wrong.

   Solves a HUGE issue

   Maybe baby skunks work better since they are pre-filled with scent "attractant".

sardines packed in oil with a Half cooked chicken thigh (release the grease) Squid and anything else you got that puts oils out in the water... Pack the bait cage or holding device tight! Harder to loose bait, You can even freeze them filled ahead of time... Rotten stuff has never worked that well for me. Or the best is a salmon carcass... Savin mine for crabfest

The best crab bait is gonna be whatever fresh protein you have handy or can get cheap, don't get caught up in the hype 

my favorite, is freezer burned trout.

Crab bait discussions are funny.

My 2 cents: I've tried a lot of baits including KFC and the best bait I used last year was crab/shrimp fuel soaked dog food w/ a chicken leg quarter. Get the super cheap xlarge nuggets place in zip lock, add fuel, water and let the nuggets soak it up. Place into small zip locks and freeze. Good luck into everyone going out tomorrow. ~Mike

Didn't want to let out the secret but +1 on fuel. Hate to promote products, but...

There was a sicko up here in Crescent City a few years ago that was using kittens as bait. He and his kid got away from the fish cops via pedal bikes....LOL. Sick freaks.

Sacramento Pike Minnows work great, and lake Pillsbury is full of them. We go for them just for free amd fun crab bait.
