Going tomorrow low tide from shore with snares. Finally get to use my 2 chinook carcasses I cut into chunks. I mix it with squid 50/50. A little trick I heard was to restrict actual access to these by wrapping the bait w/ burlap especially when your bait cage is so small. For pots choose a bait cup with the smallest holes in it so it lasts longer but still lets scent flow out. Chicken & squid mixed is pretty tough to beat though. I had 6 keepers in under 1 hr with that in a pot. As a deck hand on a sportfishing boat for a couple seasons Id load 10 carcasses of rock cod on bait rings & 1 or 2 bait cups with squid. The carcasses were usually stripped in about a half of an hr. which was way faster than I would have thought. I will definitely use fatty chicken thighs though once Im out of chinook chunks. Oily mackerel works great too but yes to chicken bringing them in (we have a turkey farm here in sonoma county & they sell cases of frozen necks very inexpensively for those who know of Willy Birds turkey. Those have been said to work very well esp for the price.
Great video! Thanks for the info, I always take a variety of bait with me, rock fish scraps, chicken thighs, squid, smelt, chicken marinated with crab fire and chicken with smelly jelly. I like to mix it up and see what is working best amongst all the other people as I like to crab from piers and bridges for the challenge and to try and get more crab than the other 20 people there lol

Chicken and salmon in the bait box works pretty good
Yes indeed!
Does the 🦀 ultimately tastes like chicken? So many people believe everything tastes like chicken 😊. Nice episode.
Ahh no
@@Wapap Thanks Mark ... Happy 🦀 ing.
Crabs do not taste like chicken. And I'm so glad they don't
@@WillyFish Otherwise, you could open a fancy restaurant 🤣.
Mink works well seals won’t touch it
Mink is a favorite of mine. Crabbed with it one time when I ran out of bait - caught a limit out of 2 pots in 30 minutes!!!
Does the chicken have to be frozen???
It does not. But I like it frozen because it will last a little longer and not disintegrate as fast!

Duck legs do work!
