Love me some crab. Great info 👍

[@WillyFish]

Thanks, hope the info helps you catch more crab!

[@riverrightoutdoors]

@@WillyFish I know it will thank you 🙏

[@outdoorlifewithv4510]

Thanks for the tips. Also shads are very delicious food. You can cook them most in the pressor cooker. They turn out pretty good and no more bones.

[@WillyFish]

Shad are not bad to eat. But I like them more as crabbing bait!

[@aspieotaku3580]

Fish heads work best followed by chicken bones. I did crabbing in Puget sound caught piles of crabs.

[@WillyFish]

I haven't fished in Puget Sound yet, but it's on my list of places to crab!

You got it!

For those using ring nets or throwing pits for just the day - use chicken thighs & squid 50/50. The thighs are fatty which brings them in. I know crab fishermen who go to our local turkey farm & buy 30 lb boxes of frozen turkey necks which are also high in fat & they swear by them. Fatty poultry & squid = fastest filling of your pot or ring.

mink works as well

[@WillyFish]

Yes it does. That's my secret weapon at the bait shack in the past when I've forgotten my bait.

[@scorpiohurley6786]

you use any type of fish and the odd are you'll end up getting more then just crabs... ive seen people having to deal with birds ,seals and other wildlife when using fish.. sooo many people say Chicken or poultry is the best bait

[@seamenslifecommercialfishi9478]

Razor clams are the best bait besides tuna

[@WillyFish]

Razor clams are best deep fried!

[@lemon-iu7bo]

The bad part of chicken is everyone uses it.

[@WillyFish]

Yes, but I have some tips coming to a future video on how to make your chicken bait stand out when everyone is using chicken. Stay tuned...

@@WillyFish Cant wait to see what you come up with.

[@ryanlawrence9010]

Anyone try pigskin?

[@WillyFish]

I don't think I've ever tried pigskin. Might be a good crabbing challenge video!!!

[@GilaMonster971]

Crab are not very picky, I have even caught them with bacon flavored dog jerky treats.

[@aspieotaku3580]

No market for chicken needed just eat kfc and toss the scraps in a cage lol

[@WillyFish]

LOL. Never thought about KFC scraps. That would be a good challenge!

[@aspieotaku3580]

[@WillyFish]

@@aspieotaku3580 Yes it does! I love dropping off pots, then doing a little fishing and coming back to huge pots full of crab!

[@3mobpaintballnut0]

just get some old stinky chicken and ziptie tuna cans on your cage...; cheap and VERY affective

[@WillyFish]

tuna cans for sure!
