OP here’s a serious answer - yes, brought my own cages and used raw chicken drumsticks for bait. caught a bucket of crab after 5 hours. In terms of time investment certainly not worth it, but it is really fun and thoroughly enjoyable for me. (Source: used to go crabbing every year in Long Island)

Follow SC1 and D2’s advice. I would add rent a pontoon boat for everyone to sit comfortably, drink, and have fun.

Yeah. I’ve used cages and “fished” for them. Just like a spool of line with bait in the bottom and you slowly pull it up to the boat and snag them with a net. It’s more about the experience

String and some chicken and a crab net should do. It is fun. Depending where you go can get a lot of crabs. Be sure to look up size laws in your area or what not.

Where is an important factor. When I was a kid we’d grab nets and pull blue claws off of pilings for hours in the LI sound area. Lots of fun and they taste great.

Favorite way to fish. Don’t waste your time dock crabbing

Yes, been doing it for 20 years and it's one of my favorite things. Nothing better than fresh caught west coast Dungeness crab.

After licenses, bait, fuel for the boat, gear, a boat or rental, etc. It's always heaper to buy from the store, but it's not about the money. It's about the experience. Make sure you know your local shellfishing regulations on what gear you can use, where to go, and what you can keep, and get a license.

Also everyone above who said to use chicken as bait is absolutely correct. Don't buy a random freezer bait bag from the tackle shop comprised of fish heads / carcasses. Crab love chicken.

Most of my freelance work over the past three years has been cannabis industry related. I was hired in the beginning of November in-house for a growing brand. (pun not intended) It feels like the wild west where anything goes and most people seem to be winging it.

So much potential to do great work, but nothing I would show or be proud of. I did better work as a consultant.

Anyone else working on the Brand side of the cannabis industry? Thoughts?
