Hello brother. I went crabbing a few days ago in Santa Cruz and and got skunk. I known you went to Santa Cruz on the opening day and got limits. You don't mind if I ask you where did you drop your traps? Thanks.
We were straight out from the harbor about 80ft deep but they seem to have moved on. I've heard of a couple people skunking in the same spot. If I hear any good reports, I'll let you know!
Wow, you are definitely a crab master for sure. You guys crushed it. Nothing but big smiles. That always makes for a good trip. Enjoyed the video. Take care 👍
Looks like a great day you guys had ! One thing bro , I think it would be good to educate your fellow crabbers (who may be new to it )on how to identify a male vs female and also whip out your gage and show how to measure a legal keeper. Thanks for a great video
you should let people who are new to crabbing make sure you have your info and your go ID number on your floats!!! F&G aint fucking around. there out thier watching with binoculars no joke! been watching them looking at floats.by the way the deeper the better out of SC! great catches!!!
Well, Squid & albacore it is for me tomorrow! 😂 Glad I actually have some. My 4yo son says your livewell looks like a toilet 😝. But damn bro, those were all commercial grade crab! Nice drop
Try varying the depth to see what's best for the day. I usually start at 50-80 feet but they are at pretty much all depths. This day was at Santa Cruz! Good luck!
Mind if I ask did you go north south or streight out we tryed the east side of the whole on the opener and only got two gonna try again Saturday any advice would be much appreciated
hey i went crabbing here in florence oregon mid september boy all babies and very few females so small and one male 6 1}4 dissapointed not good at all this season crabbing off the dock any suggestions
This theory has been done to death. Unlike fish, crabs aren't picky eater. Thet don't prefer one food over the other, they are scavengers and will eat ANYTHING. I've caught multiple pot full of crabs just by using cooking oil soaked rag because I was at the right location & depth. And that's what it really comes down to.
Ypu guys absolutely killed it.
Best season opener I've had so far!!
good job guys! figuring out the 🦀 game down there, solid work👍🏼
Love them crabs!! Gotta try HMB next!!
Really awesome video and scores! Good job guys!
Thanks so much! Great opener this year!

@@BudoFishing I really appreciate it. I dropped 4 traps from 80' to 130' for 4 hours and got nothing.
Great job, I really like the bait challenge. Great looking pots, especially that squid pot. They like salmon further up north.
Yeah we pulled some good ones this year! I'll have to try up north some day!

Thank you! I'm no master, we just got lucky!🤣😁👍It was such a great opener!
tuna never fails!!!
Great haul. I think you just picked a good spot. The bait probably didn't matter. Awesome bro.
Thanks bro! It was a good spot!! I think you are right about the bait!

Great point! I'll have to do that in the next one!
It’s working great! So awesome video brother 👍👍
Thank you so much!!
Awesome! Does anyone ever mess with your pots? What’s the longest time you’d soak?
We've soaked overnight but they will definitely get picked if you leave them out too long.
What a catch!! Great job guys!! Maybe we'll have to pay San Diego a visit.
Great season opener!!
Hope all is well wit' you Bro. Haven't seen a video from you in a while. Blessings upon you and your family! Wishing you all well! 👍🙏🎣⚒
Thanks bro! Hope all is well with you and your family!
@@BudoFishing All good here. Hope this shelter in place thing is over soon!
You guys gotta try chicken and a can of cat food (fish ).
I'll give that shot next time out! Thanks for the tip!!
Looks like you guys are gonna be eating well!
Most definitely!😁🦀🦀🦀
Very nicely done. I subscribed and liked.
Thanks so much!!
Nice catches. What depth were you working?
Thanks! The best depth was about 80 ft. Pulled some at 120 also!
@@BudoFishing awesome! Great pull. Enjoy the eats!
Great haul! I will try to buy more squids for next crabbing trip. Thanks for the info. Stay healthy and safe crabbing.
Thanks brother! It worked out pretty well for us! Stay safe on the water!
you should let people who are new to crabbing make sure you have your info and your go ID number on your floats!!! F&G aint fucking around. there out thier watching with binoculars no joke! been watching them looking at floats.by the way the deeper the better out of SC! great catches!!!
Have you tried or know someone who tried using both fish and chicken in the same trap as bait?
I don't know anyone that has used combined baits, but I bet it would work really well!! Let me know if you try it!
Nice haul fellas!
Thanks! It was a great day!!🦀🦀🤙
Very nice haul!!! Love it when you start looking for the biggest ones and releasing keepers still👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks! It was a great opener!! If you have to throw back keepers, that's a great day!😁🦀🦀🤙
Well, Squid & albacore it is for me tomorrow! 😂 Glad I actually have some. My 4yo son says your livewell looks like a toilet 😝. But damn bro, those were all commercial grade crab! Nice drop
Yeah we found the big ones!! 🦀🦀 Looking forward to see how you do tomorrow!

I’m new to crabbing and don’t really know what a good depth to place my pots at are, got any advice? Also where are u crabbing
Try varying the depth to see what's best for the day. I usually start at 50-80 feet but they are at pretty much all depths. This day was at Santa Cruz! Good luck!
Y’all need to spray some WD-40 on the reel!!😂😂
Badass, bro!🤙🏼
Thanks bro! It was an epic day!!
is this bellingham?
Mind if I ask did you go north south or streight out we tryed the east side of the whole on the opener and only got two gonna try again Saturday any advice would be much appreciated
Pretty much straight out. The best depth was around 80ft. Good luck Saturday! Hope you pull limits!
@@BudoFishing thabks man!
@@travisnance8195 no prob! Let me know how you do!
Nice haul! How long were you soaking the pots?
We dropped them at midnight and pulled them about 8AM. Good long soak!

I haven't done any crabbing in Oregon. Check out PK Yi channel. He catches lots of crab and fish in Oregon. Stick with it and good luck!!😁🦀👍
@@BudoFishing thanks man and happy fishing get those big ones and happy holidays brother to you and all your crew i subed you
@@codygraika3465 happy holidays to you and yours brother!!😁🎣👍
Is all of this bait bought frozen?
The albacore was scraps from fish we caught but the anchovies and squid were frozen.
Sounded like you said San Diego. Just kidding, right? We have spine lobster here and not dungies.
Yeah we were joking! 18ft deep in San Diego!😂🤣
Try corn ...and see a magic😌..dont cook them just add them raw..
I'll have to try that!
Corn? Like on the cob lol
You in Oregon where ?
We're in California! Santa Cruz 😁🦀🦀🦀
That beard is way too long...but the crabbing was fun to watch
Nice catch guys wanting to get some crabs myself but dont know where to try for them somebody said you was in San Diego was that a joke or for real?
We had a great opener! It was Santa Cruz. We were joking about San Diego! 🤣🦀🦀👍
@@BudoFishing great video
Fuckin awesome
Awesome
