I'll start, fishing (crab) season opened this morning so I shot down to Pacifica to capture it.

Pardon my ignorance, but do you catch crabs with fishing poles? What am I missing?

I thought that too! Ignorant 2

Yeah, you can use a crab snare, basically a bait setup with a bunch of line loops, not unlike a snare you'd use on land. Cast it in, get a hit, quick pull to close the loops and reel 'em in!

That's a little more proactive, most people know things like a crab pot type crab trap, that's a bait>sink>come back later :)

We get a lot of Dungeness Crab (from the west coast) from Good Chop. Yum!
