What a cool trip to win! Another great vid PK. We are going crabbing the 28th of December. Hopeful its still good then. (Headed there from Idaho again. Had to much fun this summer.. had to go back).
@@jonphanspromotions Dude Mackerels are so delicious. Can you catch them from shore down there? I caught them from shore in Denmark once. So good smoked....
@@NWFishingSecrets I have three young kids now so all I can fish is from the piers. Which is okay, I get to fish and my kids can enjoy the fresh air along with ice cream.
I think there's more opportunities/places to crab in Oregon plus, it's alot easier to catch crabs with a clam style trap vs snares., which are you are limited to in CA.
Great video as always! I used those exact traps up here in WA last week with mixed success. No keepers though, so I did a razor clam catch & cook instead 🔥
I would love to retire in Oregon but it is waaayyyyyyy too expensive. Might make a road trip and go crabbing with a charter some time. Love to watch your videos PK! I crab vicariously through them!
You need to get on the Buddy System like me and my best friend. He lives in Astoria, Oregon and I will retire and reside in Miami FL area from Halloween to May 1st. The rest of the year is Airstream time. I'll follow the snow birds up and down the West Coast and spend Mid Sept-Oct in his driveway. His neighbor has a boat and has already worked out a deal for me. In the winter months my buddy and his wife will fly to Miami to warm up.Best of both world for each of us. His assets are tied up in expensive housing while mine is in less expensive housing and drawing a monthly dividend check...Oregon is high but California is OUTRAGEOUS! Love PK's Videos!!!
@@markcox7497 Sounds like a good plan. I don't think I'll have anything to that tune sorted out. I don't think I can get my wife to move south, so it's probably mid-west for us. Currently living in Wisconsin. Cheers!
hey pk im headed to newport for thanksgiving for a few days wondering if you had any tips for me to just catch fish off the jetties docks or surf this time of the year? i fished the jetties in the summer before but never this time of the year. have you ever herd of any squid being caught inside around all the docks?
Jetties > docks when it comes to rock fish. Incoming tide is better, and night time is best. I use bass worms at night along the jetties and kill em. Never heard of squid fishing at all in Oregon. Good luck.
Look for Mo's in Lincoln City and start about 1 1/2 hrs before high tide. It's best when high tide is early in the morning. If you go in the summer, it can get crowded so you have to go early to stake out your crabbing area.
A soft shell crab just shed it's old shell (molting process) and has less meat under it's new shell. The meat quality is also watery and flavorless, so it doesn't taste good. Essentially it's a waste to harvest soft shell crabs, so the regulation does make sense, even though it's confusing at first. Hope that helps 👍 🦀
NW Fishing Secrets That makes perfect sense and I kinda thought what you said was the deal but I had never heard it explained for sure.Much appreciated and many thanks.I also just subscribed to your TH-cam channel also 😎
why do that while there still ALIVE 😱 IVE NEVER cleaned before boiling or cooking .. curious to your reasoning very simple ,very easy and VERY CRUEL .. grant ya putting them in boiling water aint human but still
It sure doesn't look safe smacking that crab on a fixed blade like that. I find it much easier to put the crab on it's back, line it up with a meat cleaver, and give it a whack with a rubber mallet. It's a quicker kill and much safer.
Very happy you still make videos in Oregon. Keep up the good work.
You can't keep up with him. I think he fly's up every week or so. Me thinks it could be vice versa though.
I visit my mom in Oregon pretty often, thus the Oregon fishing videos.
what fun you all are having,can't wait to retire this summer and spend my time on the Oregon coast Tillamook area,great video PK as always!!!
Thank you. Tillamook is a great area for surf perch and crabbing. Enjoy your retirement.
PK your gift of hospitality is amazing. Keep up the good works.
A day with PK! Best prize ever. You're a great host. Would really like a long vacation in Oregon.

Nice, good luck.
I have never had any luck like you PK. I think Fisherman's life caught all the fish and crabs in CA beaches.
Lol true. Gotta go where 1Rod1Reel fishes. He releases everything.... Don't bother with WA, cause I catch & cook everything too 🤣 🎣
@@NWFishingSecrets I would catch and cook everything but there is nothing in Ca besides mackerels, which I deep fry it when I get a chance.

I love that spot, great job PK!
I love crab. Best shellfish of them all. I can watch this for hours.
You clearly havent had much shell fish

Thanks. You got a nice channel. Keep it up.
PK thanks man, that means a lot to hear from you. We’ll see where things go! Would love to get together and do a fun catch & cook sometime.
Hi PK, you said the crabbing will be tapering off in December. Do you know when it will go back up?
It will pick back up in September.
PK, Have you raked for crab at Siletz Bay?
Please can you add the link to buy the crab cut and cleaner board toy were using in the video. I cannot find it on Amazon

NICE CATCHING PK..!! You showed that lady that she can catch also..!! Bring on the garlic butter

Pk what beach are you on.? Thinking of coming from Montana to give it a go. Crabs and are the surf perch still biting? Great videos. Thank you
Siletz Bay on the Oregon Coast.

I would like a day with you crabbing but it’s to far from Australia
australia has 10x better fishery than Oregon
6:08 nice picture
Are “soft shell” the same as normal dungeon ess crabs? Have they just recently lost their outer shell? Why can’t you keep them?
A soft shell crab just shed it's old shell (molting process) and has less meat under it's new shell. The meat quality is also watery and flavorless, so it doesn't taste good. Essentially it's a waste to harvest soft shell crabs, so the regulation does make sense, even though it's confusing at first. Hope that helps 👍 🦀

@@adamclemons4220 you can keep softshell in oregon but most seasoned crabbers will release them. in some states, it's illegal to keep them
Jai Kim thanks for the info 😎
Do u boil in bay water or season the water for the boil? The crabs dont seem to have as much flavor when gutted before cooking any tips on that
No, there was too much seagull droppings to risk it. We just add Louisiana crab boil and it was great.
Fukushima radioactive Crabs, ummm..... it was recently reported that most pacific sea life when tested, have the Fukushima signature.
@BC Bob I'm fine with it to,ain't my body.
Is this legal in California?
People tell me crab hawks (clam shell style traps) are illegal in CA.
crab snares should be legal though. At least Fisherman's Life uses those 👍
@@oregonlife You have quite a few videos of you fishing in CA. Are you saying you haven't read the regs there?
@@lewismaker895 I haven't read the crabbing regs yet for CA.
why do that while there still ALIVE 😱 IVE NEVER cleaned before boiling or cooking .. curious to your reasoning
very simple ,very easy and VERY CRUEL .. grant ya putting them in boiling water aint human but still
Just Like That
Fishing with PK
The insides r best part
