24 Hours Crabbing Puget Sound 2021 | Stabicraft on the Sound

This week on Stabicraft on the Sound. Since we're nearing the end of the 2021 summer season we spend 24 hours crabbing Puget Sound. 18 hours by dropping the crab post overnight, and the reaming six hours to retrieve them and them drop the several times until time to head in for the day.
The results of the overnight drop were less than anticipated, and the remainder of the day didn't get much better either. We didn't even pull in a single fish! But we didn't give up on trying up until the end of the afternoon. We finally called it a day around 4:00 PM and head in for the weekend. As the Puget Sound crabbing season wraps up for the summer this will likely be the end of our summer crabbing series, but we will have another this winter, in rougher, wetter, nastier weather. Stay tuned!
Regards,
Stacy

He does not know the regs . I bet he parks in handicapped parking too. A beginner with a fool as captain ! Geesh

Hope to see your offshore trip video.

[@RockMonger]

Man I wish I had a boat to get out there. I just usually go to Edmonds pier or Bellingham pier. Lol But my daughter and I do ok. Just looks like so much fun out there.

[@StabicraftontheSound]

Thanks for the comment Dorian. The water is where I go to relax. When you fish from the piers do you drop crab pots or use the snares on poles? I've always thought that would be fun to try out.

[@RockMonger]

@@StabicraftontheSound we use pots mostly. But my daughter has a little clam style crab trap she does great with. We are at the Mukilteo pier right now. Lol

[@StabicraftontheSound]

Nice! Happy Independence Day! That's a great way to enjoy it, and at the moment at least, great weather for it.

Getting there day by day. I finally have time to start working on my channel again too, so more content coming soon!

[@stabifisho7576]

Just curious as to the bait in your crab pots have you tried an opened tin of cat food or oily sardines or similar fish. Some have also used the frame of a roast chicken the oils work great as a burley for fishing.

[@heartbroken715]

Ive tried the long soaks. Very not worth it. Either u get robbed or the crabs eat all the bait and leave. First pot 2 hrs MAX. then 15 minutes after. Secret tip: the sound of crabs eating attracts other crabs. Once uve drawn them in its a feeding frenzy.

Did you notice the 24 hour soak turned to 18. He even titled it with 24 hour soak.

[@MongYi-fd9jd]

Still have stabicraft?

[@StabicraftontheSound]

I do, and I'm finally getting the time to go back out and film with it.

[@squamishfish]

Tides are most important factor, You need slack tide , I can catch from the shores of Victoria, Nanaimo and Metro Vancouver British Columbia no problem ,

[@leftcoastkayakfishing954]

Thanks for the video. Newly subscribed. Would you mind sharing the inside dimensions on the box you are putting your crabs in? Is it a livewell or a fish box?

[@tripledoregon8513]

Hey man. no content in a while you ok?

[@StabicraftontheSound]

Yeah, been a long couple of years and some health issues, but I'm getting back out at it!

[@madara12regio]

I THINK SOMETHING BAD HAPPEN IN THIS GUY, HE CAN STOP FILMING BUT REPLYING IN COMMENT IS NOT

[@StabicraftontheSound]

Hello again, I'm finally getting back to filming and working on my channel again. It's been a crazy couple of years, but I'll be back out filming and posting regularly.

[@madara12regio]

Common men you are the only person whos more videos about stabicraft boat owner. Theres so many people out there with stabi videos but on a couple 5 videos then they stop filming

[@madara12regio]

​@@StabicraftontheSoundz Still waiting, no update what you doin sir

[@ImScubaSteve]

Are your pontoons foam filled?

[@rorydimov405]

According to a video I saw that was put out by Stabicraft, all boats shipped to the USA are required by law to have foam filled pontoons.

[@natf5869]

Do you sell your crabs? If so how much do they go for?

[@StabicraftontheSound]

Not normally, but I do have a co worker thats buys some from me on occasion. I normally clean, cook, and deliver five for around 120-140. Store prices at the moment where I live are around $16.99/lb for a whole cooked dungeness.

[@madara12regio]

@@StabicraftontheSound what happened to your vlog? You stop

[@heartbroken715]

Illegal to sell catch unless u have $600,000 commercial license

[@gooddad3575]

I average about 3o keepers per hour with a single pot half that size. You need to stick to the mangroves. You're way too far out

[@bobfarley4102]

lol, dude if you're about to bust out a heart attack pulling up those pots then get one of those motorized pullers.

[@wesleymonske8103]

Freshness bait jack knob. Your not very good at crabbing. Just buy em at Safeway and save the gas ⛽
