Mark your floats with your name or with distinct colors for easy identifica- tion. A bait holder or bait bag com- pletes the equipment. Crab ring nets lie flat on the bay bottom when dropped. When retrieved rapidly with the pulling rope, they form a mesh-type net or basket that holds the crabs. Crab traps may be collapsible or rigid, square or round. Funnels with triggers are located on the sides and allow the crabs to enter, but bar their escape. A retrieving rope, floats, and bait container also are needed. Compared to ring nets, crab traps are heavier, bulkier, and more expensive. However, you can leave traps unat- tended for long periods without fear of losing trapped crabs. Crabs are attracted by odor, and you can use almost any type of meat for bait (figure 2). Fresh fish carcasses (except cabezon—crabs’ natural enemy) are excellent. If sea lions are likely to rob bait from your net, attach fish carcasses on the underside of the ring or secure them in containers made from hardware cloth. Red meats such as chicken and turkey backs, condemned beef liver, or other animal parts are effective crab baits, and they don’t attract sea lions. Cat food in perforated cans will serve in a pinch. Relate your crabbing to the tides. The best crabbing generally occurs at or just before slack tide—either low or high. The best days for crabbing are those when a minimal difference exists between high and low tidal stages. You can obtain tide tables from most sporting goods stores. Most bay crab fishing parties use several ring nets or traps when crab- bing. The maximum number per person is set by law, so be sure to consult current regulations for your area. The gear usually is placed in 10 to 20 feet of water at intervals of 75 to 100 yards. Lay out your gear in a straight line parallel to—not across—the main tidal or shipping channel so that passing boats can easily maneuver to avoid hitting your ropes or floats. Pull your ring nets every 15 to 30 minutes, depending on how fast the crabs are coming to the bait. You can check traps less frequently. Always approach floats against the tidal current. As your boat nears the ring net, pick up your floats and gather in the line. Don’t pull the net off the bottom until your boat is almost directly overhead. This is important! If you don’t retrieve the ring net vertically and rapidly, the larger crabs may escape over the top ring. With traps, pulling can be more leisurely. The best way to handle crabs is by quickly grasping both of the rear legs or the rear central portion of the shell (figure 3). Don’t run your fingers past the mid point of the underside of the shell. A crab’s pinch can be painful and may break the skin. Work fast—crabs have a relatively fast reaction time. Handle undersized crabs and softshell crabs with care; return them Figure 2. Fish carcasses make good bait; you can attach them with wire to your crab ring net or trap. Figure 3. To avoid getting pinched, quickly grasp both of the crab’s rear legs or the central portion of the shell. 2
