EPIC Crabbing from a Kayak - Googan Crankbaits in Saltwater???

[@teamcq9204]

That is awesome. I wish I could have one of them days

[@moreclips805]

Damn bro - nice haul

[@mohawksniper79]

Can you imagine what crabbing was like before all the big boats

[@tamalpias]

We have been killing it crabbing this year as well. 20-30 crabs per pot was the norm the first week. We are now averaging 15 keepers per pot. This is a banner year we have not seen in 20+ years of crabbing. Great work Adam!

[@DieHardFishing]

If only it was always this easy! haha

[@chew2elah]

I used a Googan bait, crackin craw for rock fish back in July and it worked great.

[@DieHardFishing]

Nice! Maybe I'll try that one next!

[@chew2elah]

I used the green pumpkin color. There’s a white one I want to try as well.

I wish I had the chance to show my grandpa fishing channels like yours, he would’ve loved them! 😢 I def need to go fishing before it’s too late in NM.

[@outdoorfreedom9778]

So here I am locked up during the China Syndrome watching you pull up the big pre-commercial crabbing season critters, they are fantastic. I got to the pier a couple times before the fleet got to go out and loved it. My hope is to get to the pier a time or two before the season closes on us again. Great video Adam. Thanks, it makes my captivity easier to take!!!

DHF... ready to bite the bullet... the 15’ Ocean Kayak I have was a good starter yak... time to move up... do you recommend the 2019 Hobie Outback Pro Angler? How long? For Monterey/Pacific Grove... thanks!

[@DieHardFishing]

I like the outback because it is a little lighter and more portable. I don't have a big enough car to carry the pro angler. Pro angler is definitely a beast to transport but is more stable on the water and has more deck space, all depends what your preferences are. Both are nice yaks!!! Can't go wrong either way!

[@DadBod88]

Keep the videos coming. Watching from Chicago, so your helping me through my fishing withdrawals lol

[@DieHardFishing]

Doing my best to help with lack of fishing withdrawals, one viewer at a time

[@crc0504]

Hey Adam! You should make a video on how to use crab nets off the pier and how to bait it up. That’s would be a good video forsure! 👍🏾

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@carlosfung5780]

Nice catches Adam, I also limited out the day before with 5 jumbos. If you are going to pull big pots going forward 🤪😅, you should get a Scotty trap ease trap roller it makes pulling big pots a breeze.

[@DieHardFishing]

I saw Moo using one of those! I thought it wasn't necessary but I might have to invest if the crabbing is going to be like this every time haha

[@carlosfung5780]

Die Hard Fishing you can get them from ACK website, they are inexpensive. If you subscribe to their monthly 15% off coupon code, they cost less than $30.

[@JohnKlopp]

Awesome crab catch! New subscriber. 👍

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for checking out the channel and subscribing!

[@thomasbrown9402]

Just curious, could you have given the "extra" crab to someone else who was not crabbing? Or would that have been illegal? Did those other guys with you also limit out?

[@corbinbeaver1190]

You could if they have a crabing

[@josephsaeteurn9158]

that's awesome!!!! i would way point those location and see if it will produce next time. who knows, you might stumble on their den under the sand.

[@DieHardFishing]

I'll be back soon enough!

[@OldManAndTheSea]

Nice job bro you should weight your pots with some rebar so they don’t move around on the bottom they will fish better later in the season when there are less crab around! When the traps move you miss crabs that are just about to get into the trap. Just my 2 cents

[@salmonsteelheadnorthcoast7639]

Since when can you keep females?

[@DieHardFishing]

As long as I have known, CA allows females to be harvested.

[@Ror917]

What an awesome fishing adventure man. That sure is koo fishing and producing fish on a crankbait. Best of the luck the rest of the year bud. FISH ON 🎣👍!

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for watching! Good luck to you too!

Haven't tried crabbing in my entire life hehe! I will try this once i get a kayak soon! Santa pls be good to me hehe! Congrats man 😊

[@toddramsay977]

That last trap I'd be having some sushi for lunch. LOL

[@deniseockey6204]

Couple of questions about when you catch fish/crab. I did not see any water in the ice chest. Do you put sea water or ice in the chest to keep the fish/crab alive until you are ready to deal with them? Also, recently I have heard of people "bleeding" fish. I have never done this. Do you bleed your fish right after sacrificing them?

[@DieHardFishing]

For any fish I am keeping to eat, I always bleed as soon as I catch them. It makes a huge difference. For crab, fresh salt water is best but if you keep them on ice they will last a day or so. You just need to keep them alive until you get home to drop them in the boiling water.

[@williampatton4156]

Hello my name is Will some time ago my son and I demoed the hobie kayak, liked them, I was wondering if you were out in deep water and capsized could you be able to get back on your boat. I like the idea of kayak fishing but I'm 6.7 300 lbs I think I could run in time problems looking into a panga. Thanks Will.

[@nickcorey2022]

When you’re out on the water what app are you using to monitor the current, the weather and everything else, I’m thinking about heading out there this weekend and I wanna be safe and able to read the conditions. Keep up the great video’s, love the amount of 🦀 there are until commercial 🦀 starts. Be safe out there.

[@DieHardFishing]

I usually check the NOAA forecast to get an idea of the swell. If you are new and want to do a little research, the NCKA website has a lot of great info. That's where I did most of my reading when I started!

[@danielbryner2775]

I want to see a picture of your kayak with the crab pots stacked on it. Even one pot on a kayak seems like a lot. Do you fold them down?

[@carlosfung5780]

Koji 888 I have 2 danielson deluxe foldable crab traps and in each cage the 2 side panels folds inwards so you can collapse them, the other 2 panels are fixed. I also tied bungees to each trap in case they happen to fall off on supper choppy days. You might find videos in YT on collapseable crab traps.

[@carlosfung5780]

Koji kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4e9n6yZbtZ7hKc. This video shows how the traps collapse, hope it helps

[@lifewithkellyandpor]

Hoping to do some crabbing with you one day on the water! Getting my hobie ready for this season.

[@kurthuson4507]

DHF, I'd like to see a video of how you launch your kayak with 3 crab pots + all of your other gear; poles, cooler, etc. I love your videos, especially the Halis! 🎣 🦀

[@tedrobertsflag]

Excellent channel! Two questions- whats the best way to grab the crabs and would it be useful to put 5' or 10' markers on the pot lines? Thanks!

[@43Studio43]

I dont eat crabs. What do you eat other than the claw?

The government thinks that they own everything in the oceans too , not just the resources in other countries . I noticed there wasn't a size limit on the little girls trump and epsteen passed back and forth . Try a saltwater Rattletrap in 3/4 oz. If you keep the nose down they snag much less ( or cut one hook off the front treble) . If you snag pull it back.. away from the way you were cranking . Yo-yo it , long pulls . Great video ! LUCK !
