- Please check your local regulations:
This area allows year-long crabbing if you are not using crab pots. We are currently allowed to take 6 male crabs that are 6-inches but no females. Finding crabs in the sand and tide pools can be difficult if not timed properly.
The strawberry moon accentuated the high and low tides this week. We experienced -2.5 ft tides and these strong tides help female Dungeness crabs molt which attracts males. Males can only successfully mate after a female is newly molted. Many of these males are in a pre-mating embrace until the female molts which can last up to 2 weeks. About 20 crabs that I found were female while 3 were male.
Wow! amazing that you can walk on the beach and catch crabs. I know they taste so good. Enjoyed watching.
That is amazing!! Catching them like that in shallow water! Thanks for sharing!
First time I've seen them being caught on the beach
This is awesome!
Excellent. from Indonesia came to watch the excitement of the video. Greetings, a friend's hobby. good luck with your channel. the same channel
Wow! How do you know when female crabs are molting? Is there any specific month or season I need to look for low tide?
I’ll post a video later this month on how we know when to catch crabs on shore and what to look for. The best signs are hundreds of female crab molts on shore near the time of a full moon.
I highly recommend going during super moons when tides are strong and females come to molt near shore to avoid predators. This brings in hundreds of males and I catch my limit in about 30 mins.
Let me know if you have anymore questions! I’d love to address them in the new video.
@@journeywithchong thank u!
Hello, I am a new beginner crabbing never done in my life . Could you tell me what months they open for crab season ? and address location where to go please . Thanks !
Good
Where is this place?? Wow!! This is so crazy!!haha
This is Long Beach, WA. I definitely wouldn’t recommend it as a daily crabbing area.
I only see this happen twice a year when the females molt and so there are a lot of males embracing them wanting to mate.
Where Would you recommend for daily crabbing area? I'm in Georgia and would love to take my kids one day. Thank you
That's it I am never walking bare foot on any beach
Where is this at?
Long Beach, WA. This isn’t common and I normally see this occur twice a year when the females molt during a -1.5 ft to -2.5 minus tide.
Wow, it's so amazing.
Is this in Long Beach? Is it open crabbing there all year round?
This is in Long Beach, WA and Dungeness crab season is open all year long if you are catching them from shore. I’d still check the regulations before going out ❤️
where this beach Mr Chong??
Long Beach, Washington ❤
Hi can you tell me what the beach name ? Thank you
Ocean Park, Washington
I only recommend going 2-3 hrs before there is a -1 to -2 ft low tide.
Do you ever go at night during winter low tides?
Just leave crabs to live
Not ok to take crabs and kill you have no right
I don’t blame you or others for feeling this way. I’d love to hear what you and others think of our thought process:
1. We would like to teach others that animals are intelligent and that we can catch our own food without harming other species. Many animals are injured or killed due to bycatch on a small to large scale. We like capturing crabs this way because it doesn’t result in bycatch and we learn about their intelligence this way.
2. It is also harmful to support non-organic agricultural fields that use pesticides that harm bugs, take land away from wildlife, or use synthetic nutrients that cause runoff to bodies of water. We try to grow everything we consume but that requires we make our own soil using animals we harvest. Sadly, organic sources for nitrogen, phosphorus, and calcium that support plant growth and nutrient intake come from decomposed animals.
3. It is harmful if we do not realize the importance of local and organic resources to support our own ecosystems. We should teach people to use food remains as an organic fertilizer/compost for native plants. Many of these native plants require nutrients to provide flowers for pollinators (bees, hummingbirds and butterflies) and berries for seed spreaders (rabbits, mice, squirrels, deer, and birds) year after year. We want to encourage more native plant growth using animals to help other parts of our ecosystem.
4. Majority of soils used for gardening use remains from animals like feather meal, bone meal, and leather dust. We prefer to make our own expensive soil and can teach others how to save money by creating their own soil as well.
Hopefully this helps explain why we do what we do since I haven't addressed this. I'm currently working on a video on this but some details are in our community section ❤️.
So as long as anyone is following the laws and rules set by the State and Federal Government. Who gives YOU the right to tell anyone what they can and can not do??
Its liberals like YOU that think you own the world that are the problem today. If you don't like it, Mind your own business and move along.
Has every right. Might makes right and we are top of the food chain. Start acting like it!
Какие ограничение на вылов ?
1 person is allowed to catch 6 males that are or over 6 inches a day. Crabbing from shore is allowed year long at this location.
Let me know if you have anymore questions ❤
