    Here's a tip I learned from a friend who only scoops crabs from the dock pilings...spray paint your hand net, it's rim, and a short way up the handle with black or dark brown paint. I did mine, and it helps keep the crabs from seeing the net...until it's too late! Also, years ago my dad made his nets using chicken wire formed around a large pot and wired to the rim. Worked great from a small boat or off a dock. Slips right through the water and the crabs are easy to shake out. Like using the mono at the end of the crab line...nice tip. Love all your crabbing and fishing videos. Stay safe and well. God Bless.

    Very instructive.. thank you... I would take the old wire hangers from the laundry ( my lawyer step dads shirts) & unwind them & remake them into crab bait clips... EZ...just need the hangers , pliers & snips... you can figure it out if ya haven't already... unwind the wire shirt hanger.. till you have a straight 3-4 feet?? then snip it in 1/2 & make a "paper clip" shape & a curl/hook at the end ... works great... made a good bit of side cash 30+ years ago before we even knew what recycling was!!

      Sadly, I think the bounty just isn’t what it used to be, and so the price is high.

      We have a black net but it makes no difference. I think they see us, it makes a difference as to which way the sun is facing, but sometimes nothing bothers them they just hang on and you can lift them right in. I guess that's why there will always be crabs. Thanks for Watching
