Hey reddit, ive seen some talk online about using Surstromming as crab bait. Im going to use a can of it this season as bait. Off a boat not a dock.
Anyone else have any experience using this bait? Or other disgusting bait enhancements besides smelly jelly?
Both are fantastic, but I think the Mayport crabs have them beat in both price and quality. The Mayport crabs are quite a bit more tender, and have a stronger flavor rather than just tasting like Zatarains.
For in a boil, Chesapeake is fantastic, for just eating straight, Mayport edges it out.
First year crabbing and wanting to know what’s the safest way to bring home grab home, I was told today that it’s not smart to kill them? Or is live the only way sorry if it’s a dumb question
I am visiting from Germany in September, and would love to catch some rock crabs for a meal.
Can anyone recommend a place to go?
Ideally id like to go foraging at low tide, if that's possible, if not, then pier fishing with a hoop net.
I don't have any gear or licenses yet, I would acquire everything when I'm there.
I would love some advice! Or if someone knows a place to rent gear or go on a guided trip, would be nice, too!
I caught them in the Pascagoula River. Made yesterday with crostini.
