The crabbing opener is almost here! Its time to learn what it takes to crab from a kayak. I will be going over the basics and showing different types of traps, regulations, bait and even some cooking instructions. If you already know how to crab from a kayak, feel free to come and hang out.

Promar Traps and crabbing gear will be available for sale after the clinic. Normal NKCA discount is 10% off, but for anybody that attends the clinic you will receive 15% off the night of the clinic.

The clinic will take place at The Headwaters Kayak Shop, located at 847 North Cluff Ave, Lodi, Ca 95240.

This event will be a potuck style event so bring something to share with others. We will have some dogs on the grill around 5:30 and start the presentation at 6:30. Please bring your own chair.

If you have any questions please feel free to post them here.

Vwool sounds awesome for first timers or people interested in catching those crustaceans from the yak!
First time I ever crabbed off the kayak was with Vwool and I'm so grateful to have been able to hookup with you and
Rockhopper and Kiel. See you on the water this year!!

Also The Headwaters will be raffling off a Promar 102W as a door prize for those that attend.

Anyone ever use chicken liver as crab bait? A friends neighbor works for a chicken distributor and often gets cases of all different kinds chicken meat. He called me tonight asking if I wanted a case of livers.  Hmmmm
