Hi, Anybody done some "Crabbing" in their kayaks? What the heck, since I got past my two biggest hurdles [driving license back, and reading tide/current tables/chart] and also purchased my "combination" fishing license, may as well brain storm a bit eh? I have recently come across a "crab pot(???)" at Walmart that is pretty small, and looks as though it could work. This one when "drawn up" forms a "pyramid" shape. How does one store their pot in their kayak? What size/shape would you recommend? Is there a time of day you have found was best to go? Since my limited experience indicates the best bait is "pretty smelly" etc... Do you use different gloves than those one might use for regular paddling? How do you get the crab(s) caught back to shore, without having to take the entire trap back, then go out again to place the trap? Never having had a kettle to boil them in, I also came across one suitable for my single burner Coleman also. The cost is relatively cheap, and the kettle is on the small size, but I would think that for a camper, or a single man like myself<g> Sure looks like it would work... There are a number of places in the world where crabs provide a tasty alternative food source, I am interested to hear from anyone on this subject. [Still fondly remember the crabs in Virginia Beach though<g>] Take care, Tom... A kayak paddler with a brain injury that is VERY glad He no longer lives outside of seattle... <gadfly911_at_earthlink.net> homepage: none yet *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Apr 26 2000 - 23:42:08 PDT
