Crabbing on the Oregon Coast

  • It's still a great time to catch dungeness crabs on the Oregon coast. If you go, it's best to get on a boat and set your traps near the ocean, but not too far where it gets too dangerous. We were crabbing about 1 mile in from the mouth. We set our pots down in about 20 foot of water for about 1.5 hours. In this video, I was using my Promar TR-530 heavy duty crab pot (definitely the best crab pot I've ever used).

    I love watching crabbing. I use to go crabbing with my sister years ago. We use to catch so many and have a great time crabbing together. Please keep the videos coming, I appreciate the footage.👀.

    Nice big catches and a neat traps there ! The two larges dungeness crabs that I caught in the past measured 8.4" (21.3 cm). Ours have to be 6.5 " to be legal here for that type of crab. I am here on the West Coast of BC,Canada.
    You guys have a neat coast there too !

      @user-kk6lc1th2r 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Amazon & Ebay--- especially ebay--- have been great for me to find lures sold out elsewhere or lead weights sizes and types my local mom & pop tackle shop don't carry. Also my local shop has 99% Danielson stock, so if I want to get some Gamakatsu, Mustad, or Owner hooks in a variety of sizes I need to shop online.

    The "escape hatch" are hand holds with one on both sides,. Some of those blue pots have a problem with the triggers not being fixed and they allow the crabs to shove the trigger aside and escape, the one you have the triggers look good.

    Awesome 👏 I live in Minnesota and wish we had seafood like that here. Walleye, bass and pike just don't add up to crab 🦀. Why I stay in this state is beyond me. If I could sell my 10 acres and 4800+ square foot home I'd move in a heartbeat.

    • @Dubngrub
      @Dubngrub 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Mark Lumley MN rocks man. Born and bred. We have legit the best people in the country in the great frozen north. Get yourself some cray fish and do a boil. Oregon is great, but MN is much better. They're way up their ass libby out there, and this is coming from a pretty left leaning guy myself. Go spend some time out there before you decide to move out and I bet you'll like the people at home better. Eastern Oregon is more to my taste than much of the west. Portland is cool to visit but I'd never want to live there. Great example of a place that's way too libby. I never saw a single homeless person anywhere near my dinky MN hometown and Oregon was full of people that didn't want to work and freeload. Like I said it's a great state, but trust me MN is much better. Have family in Bend and have spent much time there.

    @madcrabber1113 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Looks like fun! I live in Maryland and use similar traps but topless. We check them every 10 minutes or so and just use the centrifugal force of pulling the trap up to keep the crab in it. We also use trotlines of 1200' or less as a recreational crabber with chicken necks usually as the bait. I wonder how a trotline would work for you there or if you have any idea what a trotline is?

    • @oregonlife
      @oregonlife  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, I've used trotlines before. But not sure how it would work for crabs. You try to snare it somehow?

  • @ffpyle
    @ffpyle 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Cool video. Is there no requirement to close your trap with twine that will rot and open the lid if your pot gets lost in Oregon? I noticed you closed them with the twist ties.

  • @madcrabber1113
    @madcrabber1113 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    How do you cook your softshells? Here in Maryland we cut the face off, clean out the guts, dust them in seasoned flour using Old Bay or JO Seafood Seasoning generally as the seasoning. Pan fry in peanut oil for about 3 minutes per side generally based on the size. Lightly toast some potato bread serve with some tartar sauce, fresh garden tomato and some lettuce.

    • @oregonlife
      @oregonlife  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      We cook the softshells the same way like the hard shells. Sometimes I boil them in Louisiana Crab/Crawfish boil with potatos and corn and lemon. Often times, clean the guts, pick the legs, break them into small pieces, and crack all shells, then I stir fry them with garlic, black pepper, and yellow onions - this is the best way I think and is super delicious.

    • @oregonlife
      @oregonlife  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I usually stick close to the mouth of the bay where salinity is highest. Sandy bottom is another feature I focus on, and drop my pots in 10-25 feet deep water. Late August to December is the best time to crab here in Oregon, and it's super easy to limit quickly out during these months.

  • @charlescook94
    @charlescook94 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have multiple questions do you fined the round blue pots hold more crab and with the square pots would you prefer those over the blue round pots if you carried over the same features you like from the blue pot over to the square pots? Like the bait carrier and the doors? Because I fined those round pots are a complete pain in the butt to store

    • @oregonlife
      @oregonlife  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      They are about the same, volume wise. They both have advantages, where the square ones are collapsible for easy storage. The blue ones don't collapse but I still prefer them over the square ones.
