Hey Everyone,
 After my good haul of dungies this weekend, another friend wants to go crabbing this weekend with me...the swell looks too big for any beach, but what about crabbing outside of the HMB harbor? Has anyone done this? Where and how far out would i have to go?
 Thanks!

May the fish be mighty and the seas be meek...

Good call.  I would go out of the harbor, head south-east toward the beach, and drop'em at least 26' down.

We've scored easy limits there in the past.  Just make sure you load'em up with good bait.

Thanks Chuck! I'm going squidding tomorrow so a few big squid heads should do the trick.

Andrew... please let us know how you do.  I'm curious to know how well giant squid works.
