Really good crab info and PSA about the cliffs. This past year near OB, just happened to look up and saw some small rocks falling from the cliff 50ft above me...I ran back as fast as I could and within 3s boulders and chunks of the cliff fell down nearly missing where I was. The area of impact and dust flying around was crazy. Stay safe and tight lines.

Great tips and tricks to successful crab snaring. Your "Secret Spot" being where the snare stops drifting left or right can also be indentified by the impressions in the sand. What is happening in the ocean by the energy of the waves is imprinted in the sand on the beach. The waves converge together as it moves back into the ocean and it leaves a deeper impresion in the sand. Straight out from this impression is your "Secret Spot". Reading the waves are complemented by reading the beach. Keep up the great tips and tricks. Watched the "Catch", awaiting the "Cook"

Yeah guy, that spot you’re fishing is a dangerous area because at high tide, the water breaks over that area and the undertow is very strong to easily knock you under and quickly take you out to sea 🌊 It happened to me once way back in the day. So I know. I really thought I was a goner, but I was very lucky I got a slack area of water and I was able to swim out of it to stand up and hold my ground until the water went out. I got out of there super fast. Never been back to that area on a incoming tide. It’s those waves that go left to right. It sweeps you out. And also, never turn your back to the ocean because a wave comes out of nowhere. Be safe and good luck out there 🦀

My biggest pet peeve is a bunch of people gathering at the same spot and then lines start to cross left and right due to a lack of space. Well done good sir. I'll also try that "squid cover" trick to see if it makes a difference.

Dude, that’s a monster crab 🦀 I’ve been wanting to do this for a long while. I think I’m going to put in some real effort to get my stuff together and get over there to the beach. And you’re right, it really doesn’t matter where you go. It seems anywhere along the beach off the side of the road, will have crab just waiting to go home with you. Looks fun, and I really love eating crab. Right on! 😃👍🏼

Dude this is an interesting technique that I have never tried for this reason, I sometimes move spots to where my snare stops moving so much because OB and BB can have some tough conditions that bring your snare back all the way to shore, but I'll have to move spots more frequently to find the drop offs you are talking about! If you're ever down to crab together shoot me a comment or something!
