I have a Hobie Pro Angler I want to take crabbing at Yaquina. Great vids PK.

[@BackFishing]

I'm craving some crabs now. Good job PK.

[@andongf4338]

Good stuff PK! Hopefully weather gets better soon so I can get myself out there.

[@srrfounder1]

Great haul, PK, tight lines! ☺️✌️🎣

[@ry-man4354]

I LOVE this video!! So much useful information and perspective! Literally this is like gold for anyone who wants to expand their horizons into crabbing!☝️🇺🇲

[@outdoorfreedom9778]

Wow PK, I think that was the best day of crabbing I have seen you have??

[@FATHERSOFBASS]

Beast crabs brother I wish I could afford a kayak lol I’m in mountlake terrace wa looks like so much fun

[@rileymartin4565]

Definitely bringing my kayak next time I'm on the oregon coast. Looks like a lot more fun than the Newport pier. Great video I enjoy watching all of them.

[@NorthwestOpenSeason]

Great crabbing PK. Can’t wait to get my shoulder all healed up and start using my kayak again.

[@brotherbax4083]

You got video of that one jumping out of my kayak! That was a fun trip PK! Let’s do it again soon.

[@oregonlife]

Yea, for sure, Barry. That was a fun trip. We'll definitely be out there again soon.

[@jefferylangley6099]

Another quality video brother. Recent transplant from Texas, you’re my go to channel for information.

[@Auztone]

Nice. Good eating!

[@barbkoos2629]

I’d love to go out crabbing for the BIG ONES with you, PK! Great video 😁👍🏼

[@stalkerspike]

Great catch PK! I bet that you're feeling better about the next crab boil now! Makes me wish my kayak was big enough for the bay!

[@oregonlife]

Yup. If you ever get one, we'd love to have ya tag along.

[@Cooking_Through_Time]

Oh I'd love to go out with u...I have 2 problems, I live on the east coast and I don't have a kayak....we'll make 3 problems, I'm also 61 years old with back problems. I'd never be able to get in and out of them....lol. At least I can watch u.

[@templeton3504]

I've got a Bonafide SS127 that I'd love to see how it handles crabbin'. It's not powered though so I anticipate an amazing arm workout. As far as bearings haha bearing buddy is a misleading term, my Sea-Doo trailer had bearing issues and that was just lake water.

[@tcwarealtor]

Crab escape 19:13. 😛

[@FATHERSOFBASS]

Think it feel upside down cause of the air inside the pvc pipe maybe 13:22

[@ronmodafferi8202]

Very nice catches!! Get the butter ready!! Is it better crabbing at night or dark conditions or is the water calmer than?

[@oregonlife]

Crabbing at night is definitely more productive, assuming the tide isn't flowing very fast. If it's fast, they tend to dig into the sand.

[@hedoesthingspdx]

NICE! Amazing haul. I've got to get a boat... I don't think I'm agile enough to be on a kayak but I see classified ads for pretty great somewhat affordable 15 foot aluminum boats popping up weekly. How amazing to have the bay to yourselves. On a recent trip to Tillamook Bay I was the only one on the crabbing pier for a couple of hours and it was really awesome. Did you make anything special with this haul? Did you get to accomplish the dungeness quesadilla?

[@oregonlife]

Nothing special. Being on a kayak just lets you get to places that are less pressured (vs docks). No quesadilla, next time.

[@goldseekersadventures9380]

I watch all your videos all the time, but I do have a question about the See perch, is there a size limit above and below?

[@oregonlife]

In Oregon, no size limit.

[@hcts2009]

Where is Yaquina? I remember crabbing at Garabaldi Oregon.

[@oregonlife]

Newport.

[@agneslaperuta3636]

How can I buy them????

[@dampainter1]

as for bait, have u ever tried marinating chicken in any scents? thanks for video.

[@oregonlife]

No. Raw chicken has enough scent already, I find.

[@antman619]

Man all I got are crab snares to light line I gotta get at least 40lbs braid I only got 20lb mono

[@OldOwl]

Which Kayak and what accessories would you purchase if you had an unlimited budget?

[@oregonlife]

Unlimited budget? The one I'm on. Spot lock is godsent. The ability to hold in one spot to retie/setup/manage gear is incredible. I'd also get a Solix 12 as well.

[@OldOwl]

@@oregonlife I missed the make a model of the one you have. Can you supply make and model and any must have accessories that you have? I really appreciate the help.

[@tamalpias]

pk when can i go razor clamming with you? I am off sundays, mondays, and tuesdays.

[@oregonlife]

Would love to go clamming with ya. Contact me on the forum: www.everylist.com/forum/index.php

[@jamesbrill7318]

Raw Chicken? How about Raw Gull?

[@lanceoa]

First!
