3 Limits of Dungeness Crab in 1 Pull 😮 Crabbing Bodega Bay 2022

My boat partner Marcus, his wife Katy, and I visited Bodega Bay over Thanksgiving break. We stayed at Doran Campsite for 3 days. We caught a ton of Dungeness crab and learned a lot along the way. Due to the whale migration, hoop style nets are one of the only ways to crab right now. We used 10 different Promar Hoop Nets. Thanks for watching!

Hey Dale! Aww thanks for the comment. Love being roasted by a husband and wife who share the same haircut

[@mikeburian8607]

Bodega Bay is on fire!!!! Half Moon Bay is no comparison. Nice catch!

[@letsgooofishing1]

Thank you 😊

[@vincentrussell7246]

Question ❓ have you seen other videos like yours crabing, well all videos are basically the same but those who go little longer film a little more and show us viewers in detail how you're cooking and eating them because that's the difference between a regular video and a really good one hopefully you start implementing this, I would like to see you doing cooking and eating them in some good recipes

[@BigDaddy-hn7oh]

By the way and my experience with salmon heads wild-caught will catch them I'm from down south the farm stuff farm salmon doesn't work very well commercial fish for about 23 years giving you a heads up on that stuff again cool video bro

[@zekelucente9702]

Simply the greatest of all crabs I love Dungeness especially the merus section along with halibut cheek it’s the best bite of seafood in the world. In fact a Dungeness crusted halibut filet with a lemon buerre blanc is one of my favorite meals.

[@rafaelpacheco8822]

Oh my God to much crab 🦀, so beautiful and delicious 😋.

[@BigDaddy-hn7oh]

Good old fashioned California know how yeah there's a lot of crab that way lots of rock crab 2 thank you for your nice video

[@TryOneTime]

Hey Jack and I met you at Doran Beach. Keep up the good work! Hopefully we'll bump into you again!

[@letsgooofishing1]

What’s up Tan! It was nice meeting you. Hopefully you guys can tag along one day next week. I like your Ironman videos. Very motivating brotha!

[@DDFishingCo]

Now that’s a good haul!!! Awesome video.

[@letsgooofishing1]

[@willenholly]

“What are we having for dinner?” “I dunno, burgers & macaroni salad?” 😊

Haha right. Thanks for watching!

[@WaynJul]

[@claygar78]

[@letsgooofishing1]

Haha I will. Come with us next time bro!

[@michaelbadasci6650]

Outstanding!!

[@letsgooofishing1]

Thank you 😊 Leann loved it too

[@chucksmith5002]

Nice Crab

[@DanielLove187]

Nice 👏🏽

[@jayconway2939]

My buddy told me they get out right when the ball jiggles . Try to keep slack in your line at least the first spot

[@Mauricio-fw2lz]

I live in sonoma county would love to go!!

[@donalddavisson8793]

They call that a hot pot . This means that there is an electric field around the pot. This caused by the different kinds metals in the building of the pot. So you have to hit with a hammer and ground it out .take a pice of bailing wire around the escape tunnel and make loop and twist it supper tight . That should spot it from being hot and then you will catch crab. Alaskan Don

[@letsgooofishing1]

I have heard of electricity affecting dowmrigger line but didn’t even think about metal pots. I will absolutely try that out. Thank you Don!

[@marioibarra9833]

Nice haul, great vid, just subscribed. Question. So ive always wanted to do a camp trip with multiple fishing days... with that being said is it legal to have in possession multiple day limits for one person on land or in transit going home?

[@letsgooofishing1]

That’s a really good question. All the codes that I’ve read do not mention a transport limit. I’ve also heard it’s double the daily bag limit. To be safe, we just transported double the daily limit. I’d love for someone to find and tell me the written code though.

[@rosebrinkcapriola]

RE: XLHD -Make sure you are weighting it enough. Moving pot= low yield.

[@dougharlow6037]

looks like fun and delicious. What kind of boat is that? Great video Thanks

[@letsgooofishing1]

Davis Cortez :)

[@timothyfoster7564]

DID you mark the location on your gps?

[@letsgooofishing1]

Definitely!

[@Luis-tr1gz]

How deep did you drop hoops?

[@letsgooofishing1]

60-140

[@stoweman34]

How are you preserving the crab? I’ve read/watched that storing them in buckets of water ain’t a good idea, setting them in a cooler ain’t a good idea…some folks say they use ice in a cooler, place a towel over the ice and then put the crab on top.

[@letsgooofishing1]

I’ve heard a lot of those same things too. While crabbing they did great in the live well. Day 1 and 2 we processed them immediately. Day 3 we put them in an ice chest with a little ice for transportation. I took the plug out so the melted ice wouldn’t fill the bottom. They stayed alive and healthy for 10 hours until they were processed.

[@matt_the_socalfisherman]

When looking for spots do you drop in sandy bottoms

[@letsgooofishing1]

Yes but don’t be afraid of muddy areas either. Thanks for watching!

[@badassthizzle8978]

Where in bodega in this??

[@letsgooofishing1]

We went north. People are doing well anywhere they drop it seems.

[@andyendo2475]

Awesome video!! Thanks for the Promar link!! Look us up and give me a call…we’d like to repost some of your footage if you’re OK with that. Thanks

[@letsgooofishing1]

Hi, I’m not sure how to look you up. Do you work at Promar?

[@alwaysadventure707]

gps cord?😁

[@letsgooofishing1]

😂

[@baldeaglefishingadventures]

Hey brother Lance, awesome job on the crab!!!!! Wow, thank you so much for the shout out too, and you are so very welcome!!!!! Looking forward to meeting you out on the water someday, and an awesome video too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also enjoyed watching Marcus, and his lovely wife Katy, you guys rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@letsgooofishing1]

Of course you helped us a ton! Can’t wait for our next trip. We will definitely catch you out there soon 😊

[@ChrisPfish2]

Nice going, pretty convenient staying at doran. How far in advance did you have to book?

[@letsgooofishing1]

Man that place was great. My buddy booked it a month before but I know it’s pretty popular. We already booked for next year and they said only one sight was available for the days we chose.

[@louisfortier8911]

Was there a few weeks ago after I got done chiming I had a pretty good time...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@letsgooofishing1]

Been there!

[@bretthumphries7911]

Nice. You guys were on fire. I've seen guys use those bigger tapered grey trash cans for rope storage and the rope drops right in, nicely coiled. Tight lines

[@letsgooofishing1]

That’s what we were thinking of doing next time. Appreciate the feedback!

[@the4hunters]

Are the lands in background Dillion beach or Carmet?

[@letsgooofishing1]

I am not sure. That was our first time over there. We went north because they said south wasn’t producing as much.

[@masterbaiter1704]

Awesome job!

[@kaneholtham1554]

hey mate where did you get the pot puller? (brand and price ect ) cheers

[@letsgooofishing1]

Hello, I went to the Promar website. They have a variety to choose from. I think they range from 50-200. Buoys and rope cost around another 50-100.

[@jary77fishingadventures61]

Nice one bro!..

[@letsgooofishing1]

Thank you 🙏🏼
