TH-cam recommended this vid. Glad I stayed & watched. I've never heard of crab snaring. Done plenty of small game snaring, but crab? Very cool. Watched your underwater GoPro footage too. Looks like fun & I imagine those were tasty!! Send a box of them to me here in Idaho! 😁
Awesome video Ish, it was a fun and crazy snaring day. Funny how every time we fished together your days are always action filled and strange things happens, but you still load them up lol 🤪😜😂!! Merry Christmas to you and Family Ish !!
Happy holidays! I went to ocean beach last Saturday and it was packed! 1/4 mile down the the beach in either direction. Couldn’t even get a spot. Where is this spot at?
so i tested something. only filled water bucket for drive home (with seawater), and instead of a bubbler, i hooked up a 120v fish tank aerator/ water jet. we ate 4 crabs within first 24 hours, other 4 48 hours later. all 8 combined purged an inch of sand and had white lungs after both periods, super clean meat and very tasty. all crabs were feisty at time of cooking, no signs of them dying or drowning. i think letting them purge min 24 hours with a 120v water jet is a game changer🦀🦀
Nice video Ish! We did some crab snaring last Sunday just north of there and did pretty well, including a nice very 7”+ one. They were delicious! 🙂 Happy holidays to you and your family.
@@ishwithfish cannot believe they were washing up at your feet and you even snagged one in the line. You should have bought some lottery tickets that day!
thx! i started copying the og's and got a lobster claw bander. game changer! you pin the claw at the elbow and they can't reach out to pinch. totally pacifies them and the big ones can't tear up the little ones in the bucket. $20 kit on amazon, i put link in description👍🏼
this was around outgoing low slack, closer to south side. i've heard bite has slowed considerably and may have moved, hopefully you find them next time though👍🏼
Not related to this particular video, but what app or gps tools are you using to mark your traps and spot? I'm enjoying getting out and fishing vicariously. :)
Sweet video dude, I need a few more reels with 50 lb braid to crab cuz the most i have is 30 lb. What type of gloves are those black ones? (Not the red casting one) i need a pair to keep my hand warm!
8 mill nitrile gloves, recommended! i went through 3 brands and this is the best by far. keeps hands warm enough but mostly to keep things sanitary. i put amazon link in description👍🏼
Ish, a quick question: I looked at the photos of the crabs with rubber bands on the claws but none of the RBs are keeping the claws from opening? Was that from the bands slipping when they tried or did open their claws? Is it to keep them from fighting? Keep them from pinching you?
im using lobster bands, so they're a little big for dungeness pinchers. instead, i band the dungeness claws at the 'elbow' so they can't reach out and pinch. it's kinda like putting them in a straight jacket, totally pacifies them. they can still pinch you, but mostly it prevents the big ones from tearing up the little ones.
it's the prevent the claw from extending, so they can't reach. they can only pinch in the unlikely situation (or if you're dumb enough) that something ends up right in between the pincher finger. this way you can basically pick them up however and they won't fight. it's more effective than securing the pinching finger because due to the shape, the bands can slip off if you just did that.
Merry Christmas! Man you had the fishing gods smiling down on you that day. QQ: So do you use converse with stocking foot waders? Any specific type of converse? I haven’t seen that combination before.
thx man. a long time ago an og suggested i try high top chucks with stockingfoot waders. i did it 3 or 4 years ago and still rocking the setup. some sand gets in the shoes for sure, but you get lots of traction, ankle support, and protection for the neoprene booties. probably not the $300 simms boots experience but tbh id do it all over again👍🏼
Sorry for the stupid question, but do you go barefoot in the converse? That’s an interesting way to go about it. I wasn’t completely sold on wading boots so this gives me something to put on my list.
so stockingfoot waders are waders with enclosed neoprene booties, instead of sealed boots. your feet go into the neoprene booties, then those go into the shoes👍🏼 i use frogg toggs hellbender ii stockingfoot waders, good value.
@@ritchieyang yes, totally. its designed as a lure rod, 2-4oz i believe, fast action. especially for heavy metals i think. i'm not doing justice with snares lol, but that's all i have to target with it for now.
To bad about your reel breaking but it brought you some real good karma! Must be nice to just pick up Dungies off the beach! Now just be sure you clean and lube your reels before you start eating all those crabs!
@@ishwithfish gets away again! lol Heading out today to hit the surf, hope I have half as much luck as you When are the TH-camrs doing another meetup? I’d be down if you all hosted another meetup/tournament
Wait. Seriously, are you wearing converse's in the water. You know they make boots for this sort of thing that don't cost much more than your yuppy soles there.
A snagged crab is a illegal crab don't teach your subscribers or followers how to break the law there's more from where that came from I can tell that the game warden needs to watch that spot more closely
Happy Holidays everyone!🎅🦀
Happy holidays to you too Ish!
Dude this is some seriously good content. No weird music, long commentaries etc. just straight up action the whole way.
thx man, great morning of crabbing that day👍🏼
Great video! ^_^ Looks like a lot of fun! You make it look easy but that’s a testament to your experience.
Wow! Ish, that is a Rod Buster moment! Nice crabs at that too! Good thing that reel was a trial reel, no loss there! Keep up the great work!
As for reels, Jun has a problem once in a while too. From me to you, what a day!! I got to learn a few things too so it was a good one for me too!
what can i say, i learned from the master himself😁 happy holidays!

New to crabbing and tried my first casts at Ocean Beach the other day. No luck think i needed more weights but glad to find u, subscribed!!
Had no idea you can catch dungess from the surf. Cool, I'll try it.
Awesome day. Gives me the motivation to finish making the 6 snares that I started 😆 making them is a lot of work!
for reals. i'm tempted to sell snares but my white collar hands can't take the abuse 🤣
Ug! So jealous because I've only caught one legal dungie all year (and 5 rock crabs)...so frustrating! lol
The Dungenss were like take us home Ish. what a day
Great session and your tackle issues just made it more entertaining to watch!🤣
Ish, I added squid to the outside and got my pb dungy!
Wow those were some big clean crabs!😳😄🦀🦀 enjoy it while it lasts!👍
That beach stays lit! Limits being pulled out everyday. Happy holidays to you!

Good stuff! Where do you buy your pull at and will it fit on the back of my 5ft truck bed? Lol what line do you use?
thx! poles are linked in description, they're all 2 pc so yup they fit diagonally in my 5.5' bed👍🏼

This show is a reel blowout!

Killer day! How often do you have to change the water in your bucket?
so i tested something. only filled water bucket for drive home (with seawater), and instead of a bubbler, i hooked up a 120v fish tank aerator/ water jet. we ate 4 crabs within first 24 hours, other 4 48 hours later. all 8 combined purged an inch of sand and had white lungs after both periods, super clean meat and very tasty. all crabs were feisty at time of cooking, no signs of them dying or drowning. i think letting them purge min 24 hours with a 120v water jet is a game changer🦀🦀

Nice haul! Merry Christmas!

Omg that intro is hilarious 😂😂😂
Oh I'm jelly. Wish I could've made it.
next time b-dub!😁 happy holidays🎅
@@ishwithfish 😂🤣 Happy Holidays
When did you go low, slack tide? Lower, upper or middle ocean beach. We went low tide, middle on Dec 26th no luck.
this was around outgoing low slack, closer to south side. i've heard bite has slowed considerably and may have moved, hopefully you find them next time though👍🏼
Nice video bro and keep up the good work and what beach is that at ? If you don’t mind me asking
A lot of action,thanks for sharing. What’s the location?
np. a popular beach, im sure you'll recognize it if you watch again😁
Cool video man!!!
thx!
Converse! hahahahaa. Nice. I also usually wear board shorts, in case I want to body surf. Ocean Beach?
good eye😉
What are the conditions you look for when crab snaring from shore?
Stylin' on the intro!
great day crabbing
Happy Holidays brother. Hopefully Santa gets you a replacement reel. Oh and nice intro. 🎅🦀
merry christmas bob! all the best to you and fam🎅
On those king tides days?

Is this ocean beach?
Love how you didn’t expose the spot! OB has been a zoo as of lately! OB is a huge beach, but people are concentrated at one specific area.
totally. also they move, a lot. tbh i was around there previous week, total skunk. this day i got lucky... actually more than lucky lol🎅
When was this? I was out there today at bean hollow. I got nothing
last weekend👍🏼
Why do you not have more subscribers? Merry Christmas to you and your family!
thx! prob cause i never verbally ask for subscribers or Like smashes lol. i just post for fun mostly. holiday wishes to you too!🎅
Which beach was this?
How do you like that Spartan rod?
it's pretty nice! a little overmatched for a 6oz snare, but will be great for 2oz metals to the deep trough, or bait and wait for big stuff.
@@ishwithfish you think it’ll be good for plugging on top water lures or buck tails?
@@ritchieyang yes, totally. its designed as a lure rod, 2-4oz i believe, fast action. especially for heavy metals i think. i'm not doing justice with snares lol, but that's all i have to target with it for now.
That happened to my penn pursuit 3 8000 the other day so sad 😞
ah sorry man, hopefully Santa has a replacement🎅
Lol Santa 🎅 coming in hot with the new replacement part
Ish! Ocean beach?
😉
Puscifun...all you had to say 😂
🤣🙊
Where you Crabbing friend?!
Oh chit!
how heavy is your snare?
i use 6-9oz at the beach, change out depending on direction of the wash. i make snares 3-10 oz, all have their purposes👍🏼
What is the best time to go crabbing on the surf?
Have you checked the toxin levels there? Can't keep them here in Washington, toxins too high.
dungeness are ok atm. there was a recent advisory against mussels but it lifted. good to go!
Moooo bait more better...is always the case with crab for sure....got a 9"...last sat.
dayum!
To bad about your reel breaking but it brought you some real good karma! Must be nice to just pick up Dungies off the beach! Now just be sure you clean and lube your reels before you start eating all those crabs!
when both reels fell i was like, ugh there's 4 hours of work lol. oh well, pay to play😁

ikr!
I don't want that reel lol
Wait. Seriously, are you wearing converse's in the water. You know they make boots for this sort of thing that don't cost much more than your yuppy soles there.
a pair of converse will outlive entry level simms. it's a secret🤫

thx for confirming legality, we're all here to learn as we go too. next time i'll clarify regs.
