Half Moon Bay Dungeness Crab Report

[@ahlok925]

I am a boater at HMB crabbing at 150-170 slow too. 20 crabs 12 pulls on both days Saturday and Sunday. Tons of tiny ones and one keeper. Fishing is slow too. We got limit but bite started very late at 2 and 3pm. Charter boats not able to get their limit. One famous local charter caught 10 rock fish only. Nice video. Keep trying. Crabs just not here yet

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Yeah I hear lot of people having rough time

[@tamalpias]

There is always 99 Ranch on your drive home. This is why my wife thinks I am the greatest fisherman in the world. On a good day I even have the time to bring home fish that has been cleaned and fillet, sometimes even wrapped in butcher paper to impress her. 😂

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Haha. I don't think they are selling dungeness yet

[@downlow5077]

It's tough right now in bodega too. Last night I snared about 15 Dungeness all were under size and soft. Big ones still haven't moved in.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

I hope they move in soon

[@jobrien1973]

Rough indeed! I was out there yesterday for 3 hours and got skunked too! Beautiful day though.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Hope they pick up soon

[@MobyLife]

In my opinion, the crabs here 11:48 were excellent.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Good eye. That was the biggest one measured a little over 6.5 inches

[@kellyjackson6455]

was in bodega yesterday 11/10/24, 3 guys total.. ocean was flat, beautiful day out but getting limits was a grind.. was able to get limits for all 3 guy but took us from 7am to 4pm to get it

[@MooMooOutdoors]

You had to grind it out, but glad you got your limit 🙌🙌

[@shotgunaaron]

It's been rough. No doubt. Boat and we got 20 between a 4 man crew. We fished all day last Thursday.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

5 is better than 3 hehe

[@MagnusSentDooM]

Is there red tide in that area? I was watching ChrisPfish crab video and he said where he was at the water was kind of dark so probably red tide. Doen here in SoCal there was red tide in certain when i was around malibu area about two weeks ago. Hopefully its gone now and things pick up down here as well as up north! Hope to see more of your videos, so keep them coming!

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Thanks. I didn't see red tide on this day, but I did see red tide near by a week ago.

[@FishingWithAlexS]

Dang it’s been rough for everyone

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Yeah, it's been tough for most people. I hope they start to crawl soon

[@Bights-On-Fishing]

Thanks for the video!!! Can you just tell us what shoes and wet pants your wearing? Getting cooler here in CT.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

I was simply wearing a cheap rain pants over the farmer john wetsuit for added warmth. I have a video on how to dress for different type of condition here kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2moiXeJbNRoiac

[@renerioux2644]

Have you tried or heard reports from hooping a little deeper? Like 100-150 fow? Or 150-200 fow?

[@MooMooOutdoors]

I heard boaters chat on the radio that it was slow for them as well on this day

[@1lilcrazyazn]

Im hoping after king tides it picks up

[@MooMooOutdoors]

I hope so too

[@dayliving2020]

Why not try crabbing at sonoma?

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Generally, crabbing is not so good other than Bodega Bay

[@dayliving2020]

Did you caught any lings or rocks? Or you targeted only crabs?

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Only targeted for crab

[@reelin_it_with_jake]

Yea it was tough out there for sure! No 🦨 though

[@MooMooOutdoors]

I heard the rumor you were out in the deep on this day.

[@reelin_it_with_jake]

@ yea I was out in 180ft. 😆

[@STRIPERBAY408]

Rough opener for a lot of us… it’s ok. At least we get to eat crab… That last word you said at the end of the video tho was 100%…😂😂 I felt that way too!

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Haha

[@aleemoua2916]

Thumbs up for the banana

[@MooMooOutdoors]

[@salaboytes6918]

[@the_ling_council]

You remembered that bananas are a good source of potassium

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Bananas are the best!

[@bradgreen1349]

I got skunked on Saturday at 45-50ft.... how deep were your keepers?

[@MooMooOutdoors]

One at 48 fow and 2 at 52 fow

[@homie9989]

[@MooMooOutdoors]

[@kingslew1866]

Well, you didn't get skunked anyway... 🙃

[@MooMooOutdoors]

That's is so true hehe

[@norcaloutdoor5462]

There are no Crab in HMB. Even rock crab. People catch them all.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

I'm sure they will be crawling again

[@emitchell6730]

Rough day!! Still way better then a skunk!!! Wish I was there!

[@MooMooOutdoors]
