Default Catching crab from the jetty???????

Has anyone ever done any crabbing off the jetty in Tillamook? I was thinking of throwing out a couple of pots while I am fishing from the jetty, but don’t know if that is the good place to do it. Any help, tips or suggestions would be great. Thanks everyone!

Cool Sharing & caring...

Hi Brian, I am also curious about the ins and outs of fishing and crabbing on/around jetties. I have never done either one, but it sounds like it would be a great way to spend the day. I am determined to do more fishing and trying new things this year. Especially since I am only forty-five minutes from Lincoln City. Hope you don't mind me "eavsdropping" on the answers you get...

To be up front, I can't say I've ever tried crabbing from a jetty before. But I would think you'd run a huge risk of losing a traditional pot or ring when trying to retrieve it from the jetty. Though there are traps designed to be cast and retrieved with a rod and reel that might be a little better suited for a jetty. Off the top of my head the only name I can come up with is Crab Hawk, but I'm sure there are others as well.
