Crab Pacifica, CA.

Hey guys MakoNick here. Decided to fish from shore last week with a fellow NCKA member for Dungies in Pacifica.  Didn't feel like hauling out the kayak but I wish I did.  The conditions were like glass and it was an above average day for crab.  We ended up with 5 males and threw back a legal female as well. Not bad for a 3 hour trip.  Here is some footage of the day. Skip to 10:15 for the fishing.

5 good size male is not bad at all. 😀

Thanks Moo I appreciate the support.  .

Nice going.  Look like a good day snaring.  Man, snaring crab is a lot easier than taking the kayak out.  Was this last week sometime?  No surfers means pleasant swells. 

Killed it - nailed it for sure. Wish I was there;;;;;;;;;

Awesome.  Nothing like fresh dungies.

Nice looking crabs, If you use a pole to catch crabs can you use another pole to catch perch at the same time. Essentially your using two poles.

Good job Nick! 

Thanks guys.  As far as I know, you are allowed as many poles / pots for crabs as you want if you can handle them safely.  You are still only allowed to keep 10 per day.  The rules are different on a jetty or pier regarding how many poles you can use.

Well done! I cant wait for this weekend, I'll be diggine out my snares for sure since I wont be getting ON the water

Thanks  GL out there

Thanks for the crabbing report and video Nick.

Excellent report. Love the video and the advice you gave the guy who caught the eel.

Man you spent more time thinking about crab snares than anyone I know. I'd like to test your theory about snares upright with a side by side test. Although your logic sounds good.  And what do you use to crimp the lines on your snares?  Anyway, great video, thanks for sharing, thanks for some deep thought about the design of those things. Keep it up!

Nice catches!
