Crabbing the Newport Bayfront

Something new!
This is my first crabbing video, though it's not my first crabbing trip. I finally bought my own crab gear to jump into a new sport of fishing. Given how terrible fishing is in my area, and in much of Oregon in general in the winter, I needed to add a new form of content to the channel.
In this video I'll show how I set up my crab traps for the Newport Bayfront, including bait and time to soak.
Thanks so much for watching! Tips up, tight lines and have fun fishing!

That's awesome to be able to go throw a trap and catch crabs for dinner. Man do I wish we could do that here. Cool video

Ralph Barton Thank you 🤙. I'm pretty new to it, but so far I like it a lot. So fun

nice video. Love the Oregon coast. Next time try putting the bait in the center, on the bottom of the cage.

NEVERSLEEPSTUDIOSIX Thank you. I'll do that. I'm gonna get bigger bait cages, too

And if all else fails, you can go get a bowl of Clam Chowder at Mo's! Ya lucky Bugger! You are in my most favorite place on the west coast. I know that deck well, that you dropped the pots from. You should try that pier across the bay too. You should get PK Yi too show you how to set up your crab pot :)

That's the next spot I'm gonna crab, is the other side of the bay

A whole lot of work for a little bit of food, but a great video nonetheless. Thank you!

Corn Dog Yeah, but hey, three crabs is plenty for dinner for two 😊
