Crabbing The Oregon Coast From Shore w/ Crab Snares - CATCH & COOK

Crabbing the oregon coast for catch and cook dungeness crab with crab snares from shore. I'm crabbing Netarts bay Oregon for Red Rock Crab and Dungeness Crab. This is my first time crab fishing from shore with a crab snare, usually i am out on a boat and throwing crab pots. For my first time crabbing this way i just wanted to get out, get the rod setup for crabbing, and figure out the technique. If you have any tips for me PLEASE feel free to leave them in the comments section.
I plan on trying to get back out here asap with my kayak so i can throw some crab pots and increase my chances of catching red rock or Dungeness as well as the chance of a bigger load of crab!

As of the timing of this video, it is Feb 3rd 2021 and our "Prime" months of crabbing on the Oregon coast have just come to an end. September, October, November and December are typically the peak times for big, meat filled crab.

This catch and cook dungeness crab was absolutely delicious! I think crab tastes even better when you have just pulled it fresh from the ocean yourself.
Don't miss the quick breakdown of how to clean crab if you arent familiar with how to do it. The method i use is quick, humane, and effective, covering all the sections you want to remove before cooking.

I'm leaving a link for any of you Oregonians who aren't familiar with the MYODFW website and the information that you can find there, including maps that show where you have the best chances of catching/foraging for clams and crabs.
