How to Kayak Fish for Dungeness Crab

[@GreenMeanie101]

Can we get a updated review of the RIOT MAKO and how it is holding up to fishing out there? And do you think the Hobie outback 2020 is more stable than the Mako?

[@NickFish007]

The updated version of the Riot Mako is great! I'd highly recommend it. I love their pedal drives 👍

[@NickFish007]

Hobie is more stable and tough, Mako is more fun and easier to take out and use. The Mako is great for surf launching too

[@arjunlawson564]

sorry to be off topic but does anyone know of a method to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the account password. I would love any tricks you can give me

[@lukaezekiel9293]

@Arjun Lawson Instablaster ;)

[@arjunlawson564]

@Luka Ezekiel Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@tapeglue8315]

Nick's the nicest guy out there. Seriously, the few times I've crossed paths with him , he's been friendly, helpful, gracious and just a great guy.

[@NickFish007]

Thank you man!! That made my day. See you out there 👍

[@FishermansLife]

Nice Nick! I can see you now as a 50 year old fishing OG. Hella helpful with tons of knowledge and experience 🙌

[@NickFish007]

Haha I just fish a lot 😂 I'm also surrounded by some great fisherman. But thanks man I really appreciate that coming from you

[@ram_bam]

Great music. A welcome break from house.

[@Theophilus1968]

You guys down south are lucky. We Washingtonians only get to fish two pots or rings at a time and keep six dungies (and 6 rock crab)... Nice haul.

[@Fishing247]

Wow. The last net was awesome. I went crabbing today in Capitola to test the area and only got 1 Dungy and ton of babies. Very promising future. Always have great video Nick. Get ready for halibut and the salmon season. Be safe and tight lines.

[@NickFish007]

Thank you! Thats awesome

[@Hypermoto47]

Good job on getting that big one back man! Lol I know the feeling.

[@joebrooks6125]

Bro how am I just now finding your videos. Ive been looking for so many tutorials like this smh thanks for the vids keep them coming!

[@DieHardFishing]

Dude that last net was LOADED!!!!! Congrats on the limit bro!

[@NickFish007]

Thanks for watching and the comment Adam!

The slo mo shot had me busting up.😂Thanks for leaving that in. You got another sub.

[@NickFish007]

Thank you welcome!

[@ericinatl]

Great job Nick!

Thanks for watching 👍

[@ANT.LEEEEE]

barking at the pelican lmao

[@artticusbarca5445]

Got a good set up brother, free tip for all, use used Cordial containers (spray paint safety yellow) for floats. Cheap as, low profile and you can stack more nets. Avoid round large diameter floats/buoys.

[@gymz4065]

I glad u caught those big ones! U did it!

[@israelrivas134]

You're crazy Nick! Man that crab made my heart rush!

[@NickFish007]

Haha thanks man!

[@shotgunaaron]

That was comical... but persistence pays off no doubt! Glad to see you made it out there Nick. It's been rough lately. Getting some work done on my kayak (new equipment/rod holders/down rigger/etc)... I'll be in the water hopefully in March. Thanks for the vid!

[@NickFish007]

Hope this video gets you out sooner 😂 Can't wait to see the new setup

[@patrickmartin2091]

Looks like it was a good day! Hey, I finally purchased a fishing kayak! I have lots to learn... Let's go fishing sometime!

[@csufjeff]

Well played Nick...Cheers Jeff

[@carlosfung5780]

[@jendiloreto3144]

[@mikeblitzen]

[@NickFish007]

Haha thanks man! Just me and the crabs 👌

[@scorpiontube712]

Good crabbing out there Nick👍🏽 Im getting my Kayak soon so cant wait to do more action 🎣🐟🦀

[@NickFish007]

Awesome man. Hmu!!

[@Mio248]

Feels like you caught more than what an average fishing boat crew would've caught. lol Right on!

[@NickFish007]

😂😂 It was one of those days! Thanks for watching

[@JamesJones-bj6vy]

I always love how crabs continue to snack on the bait (I use fish heads) even after you've pulled them onto the boat. Might was well go out with a snack, I suppose.

[@mialily206]

5:23 How not to kayak fish for Dungeness crab !!!🤣 ouch!! Must have hurt more than the crab bite!

[@anthonyauerbach2937]

Damn bro you absolutely killed it out there! Nice job

[@jeffrichardsonoutdoorschan5324]

[@jamesyeung5379]

Congrat on your limit yesterday. Nice to see you on the water again. You did way better than me, had only half limit. Lol. Sorry to hear that you lost one of your pot. I did not see it when coming back in.

I get very seasick on boats! 2/3 of people get seasick, not much you can do.. Try getting a good nights sleep and eat a bagel in the morning!

Thank you 🤙

[@lschoenrank]

Is 10 your legal limit there? How exciting! (Ours is only 4, and we can only use two traps or nets/license.)

[@NickFish007]

Yeah 10 crabs male or female in CA limit is 8 traps I'm pretty sure 👍

[@lschoenrank]

@@NickFish007 Oh wow! Here, ALL females have to be released. And the four we get to keep is in TOTAL between Dungeness and Red Rock. Red Rocks have to be at least 115 cm (4 1/2") and Dungeness have to be at least 165 cm (6 1/2"). Not sure why BC is so much stricter.

[@tomzhang8675]

have many did you catch, looks like more than 10.

[@NickFish007]

I only kept 10 crabs

11:35 plot twist: it was a different crab of comparable size.

[@pokeshawn1]

Great vid Nick, I love your videos. How long do you leave those type of traps out?

[@NickFish007]

The hoop nets you can pull pretty often. I pull them every 30 min - 1.5 hr because they can get out. Hope that helps

[@tai9499]

How many hours total did you spend on the water?

1-2 hrs 🤷‍♂️ I was on the beach too. Thanks for watching

[@anthonyaguirre5057]

I want to try kayak crabbing maybe this year. Is it dangerous ?

[@NickFish007]

Kayak fishing is a dangerous sport and crabbing involves a lot of gear. But if you pick the right days and go with friends it's safe

[@anthonyaguirre5057]

@@NickFish007 yeah i kind of figured. I would've went alone too so as a first timer i dont think that's a good idea. I appreciate the answer👍
