Dungeness Crab Fishing - GAUGE BUSTERS

[@AnyFishKiller]

Pitbull tackle nets have consistently been getting substantially less than promar ones from what I’ve seen and in my own experience

[@Archgr8]

14 lbs promar nets with a 10lbs weight added are my best ones, blue one in the video. The entry and slope really helps the crabs get into the nets. My 23 lbs promar ones are not as productive and are similar to the pitbull ones, the pitbull ones appear to be even steeper though.

Thanks for sharing @AnyFishKiller . It sounds like many guys have been having similar experiences. We tried to make it make it a fair competition and didn’t want to write anything off too soon. We definitely will get back out there and do some more comparing!

[@DDFishingCo]

That’s awesome info thanks for sharing. We had 1 14lb and the others were the even lighter ones. We will have do some more comparing out on the water soon.

Been crabbing same area and are first pulls were great and are second pull were just like your no crab or just a few crab

[@DDFishingCo]

Very interesting! Sounds like it could be great for your first soak and then maybe slows down. Thanks for sharing.

Nice catch! I live in Chicago...nothing good to fish for here 😢

[@DDFishingCo]

Definitely no Dungeness crabs in Chicago! 😂Thanks for watching our video!

@juliemanarin4127 Better look out your back door. Salmon and Monster Brown trout around in the lake. Check with a tackle shop and get directed to where they are ice fishing for 20+ pound brown trout. You are sitting on a fishing gold mine nearly a thousand miles from the pacific ocean. Do a little research and have a ball.

What’s up d&d how heavy of crab pots do you guys use ?

[@DDFishingCo]

What’s up man! We used a variety of weights. We used the 23lb outdoor nets, the 14lb promar and the lighters promar ones as well. We weighted a lot of the nets down to make sure they were on bottom. We want to get an underwater camera to experiment with weights to see how the nets do.

[@michaelferreira8130]

By law, 10 pots max per boat.

[@DDFishingCo]

Correct

Where r u guys here?
