On Topic: This really sucks

In article , says... Never been fishing for dungeness crabs. Rod & reel, flyrod or ...surely not crabpots. On the off chance you're serious, the litte buggers can actually be reeled in...using a stinky piece of chicken or other bait tied to a line. They're so stubborn "they won't let go to save their lives." You can only do this in shallow water since you have to be able to see them to dangle the bait. In Canada, that's illegal. Saw some natives do it (laws, esp. fishing laws, don't apply to them). The crabs would let go just before breaking the surface, so they used a long-handled net to scoop them in. There were also snares for sale for awhile before it was pointed out that that is illegal too. But my Lady loves "fishing" for crabs with a crabtrap - we usually toss one out whenever we're overnighting in a bay, and usually get some: either dungeness or redrock, which are smaller but very tasty!
