THIS IS HOW I CATCH CRAB FROM MY KAYAK | BAD ASH OUTDOORS

MY FRIENDS!
I am back with a kayak fishing episode; showing how I fish for crab using my kayak! This episode details the gear I use, and I provide factual detail on how I captured this haul of Dungeness and Rock crab.
Huge thanks to @OldTownCanoeKayak for the best ride on my slice of the Pacific Ocean. Thanks to @NRSFishing for keeping me safe so I can focus on being a West Coast adventure angler!

just caught your halibut excursion with Adam (aka Die Hard) down the street in SF bay. Your obvious love of the outdoors and fishing is just wonderful. My better half has been itching to learn to fly fish. I'm so looking forward to helping her learn what might be the most challenging style of our sport. I'm pointing her to your YT account. She will love ya! So thx for sharing...I'm and old geezer, 61,fished my whole life but in the California high Sierras and the CA coast. Summer is my child-bride and her wanting to share this will be so great! Hopefully she won't think I'm bat-crap crazy when I talk fishing with her... hehehe. Oh, we hit Bass Pro Shops a couple months back and she fell in love with the flys the have... and, ummm, she bought about 3-million smaller flys just because. So I think the hook is sent and we just need to reel her in gently. 😂🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤. Anyway, you have a new fan, OK prolly 2...keep the fun stuff coming. Maybe we might be able to fly up for an fun excursion with you as our guide later this year...

Hi! Just saw you on DieHard Fishing. Caught my first CA halibut there last year before I moved to WA. May try my boat in Willapa for crab sometime after Easter. Hope our paths cross sometime.

[@genehammond7239]

I was wondering where is Bad Ash , nice dungy enjoy !!! 😊👍👍

[@BadAshOutdoors]

Hey Gene! I am certainly around! Head in books, and always dying to fish!

[@genehammond7239]

Thatta girl keep your hesd towstds the sky !!!

[@WillyFish]

Great tips Ash! I will add the eyeliner to my crabbing tricks next time out!

[@BadAshOutdoors]

Hahahaha I am glad people caught that

[@taholahnativeriders325]

I will help you load that kayak again any day ❤. If you ever want to go out on a real crab boat with a Quinault let me know. Definitely send you home with a trash can of some 🦀

[@Hokaheyplugs]

Nice crabs

[@jordangaffney3057]

Now I’m hungry lol awesome video

[@CoffeeNCards]

Is that Bodega? I feel you on just getting the yak and all your gear together to head out there. Still haven’t been out there this season because of that. Glad you didn’t skunk!

[@coreycorey2220]

That is hilarious when you said it looks like that other boaters looking at your pot And it’s kind of funny I used to do a lot of crabbing in the south sound and I used to catch a Lotta people messing with my crab pots now when I see people next to my pots I rush over to make sure great little hole for the little time you were soaking for I will say congratulations, even though at this point as many kayak trips that you have taken you can hold your own in regards to harvesting whatever it is you desire until next time. Have a blessed day.

[@BadAshOutdoors]

Corey! Thanks for the kind words, as always. Let me know when you get your Bad Ash Fish Bonkers too!

[@brandondulle]

I use the same kayak, a similar NRS Drysuit to haul lobster traps off the coast of Maine. I have to soak my traps longer then a couple hours though.

[@BadAshOutdoors]

I REALLY REALLY want to do that!

[@1976DannyG]

Hey Ash, Greetings from Thornton Colorado! Just hopped over from Die Hard Fishing. I was smiling ear to ear as you reeled in that halibut. I grew up in Monterey Bay and we would catch crab as well. I actually love red rock crab, and we would catch some monsters at times. Moving back to Northern Cali town of Yreka in several months, 20 miles from Oregon border and two hour drive to coast. You remind me of my daughter who absolutely loves fly fishing and the outdoors . Nice video and ding ding a new subscriber.

[@BadAshOutdoors]

Danny!!! Hello!! Red rock crab are SO great!! The area you are moving to is SO lovely and you clearly have a cool daughter ;) Glad we are connected here, the "bad ash" community is pretty awesome. Welcome. Im sorry for how weird we are 😂

[@Zak-Fishamaholic]

Geez thx for the eye liner tip😂 But I do really gotta thank you for those steelhead slammers you helped make. I picked up about 7 of them at the pnw show. Hope all is well

[@BadAshOutdoors]

Ahhh so cool!!!! Which colors did you get? Let me know how you do on them!

[@Zak-Fishamaholic]

@@BadAshOutdoors gold blade&green body was my favorite. Somebody almost cleaned Astoria bait and tackle out before I got there. Will do tight lines !

[@bigolbass8612]

Costco chicken for fresh crab is a solid trade!

[@BadAshOutdoors]

Agreed!! Hahaha.

[@stevet8121]

That's like finding gold right there. Well done!

[@BadAshOutdoors]

EXACTLY!! hahahah thank you Steve

Nice haul! Thank you for the pointer on your eyeliners. BTW... "The ocean is trying to take me." This terrifies me. :)

Awesome! Its been awhile since I've had Dungeness it's so sweet tasting! I need to get me a cwab twap and try and get me some Alaskan king cwab! 🦀

[@BadAshOutdoors]

Hashahaha! Yes! Cwab twaps are how it's done!

[@Superhightofly]

I just want to fish with you once in my life

[@BadAshOutdoors]

I'm so honored!

[@williamwinsor7376]

You can tell males and females almost by the look of the back alone after a while but I’ve been fooled enough though. Red rocks are good too. Fresh crab is to die for. When I First got to or we limited out from the docks almost always but now it’s different. My father couldn’t believe we got them that fast because he always bought them and he went nuts.

[@BadAshOutdoors]

Hahaha! That is awesome! Yeah the females are ALMOST always rounder than males. I have been fooled too!

[@victoriaxholmes]

Looks super fun! How did you prepare these crab? 🔥🦀

[@BadAshOutdoors]

Cleaned them and boiled them as SOON as I got home! 😊😊😊

[@jarenlengert2642]

From my experience red rocks actually taste better than dungys! Much sweater meat

[@BadAshOutdoors]

Lots of people sort of 'poopoo' them, but I LOVE catching them! Delicious.

[@Zak-Fishamaholic]

They’re definitely as good. We are spoiled here in the pnw that’s why. Just like the steelhead snobs 😂

[@shinaiandbogu]

Sorry not a chance in my book. Rocks are too bland for me… We keep them just so we can cook them in our soup…

[@animallover7072]

I hope you filmed yourself cleaning the crabs. Also, I sent you a KZbin video tutorial on how to clean lobsters a while back in your instagram DM but you never responded back.

[@BadAshOutdoors]

Probably. Honestly, fishing is what inspired me to go. Just you wait..... ;)
