Netarts part deux

[Hooked Up]

With the weather cooperating it was time to try crabbing at Netarts again. Unfortunately Dana & Pinstriper weren't able to make it today.

We got a late start to the day wanting to be off the water around 1:30, put the pots in about a 1/2 hour before ebb tide. We already had two CA legal size crabs in the cooler when my eldest son was checking a load of under size crab and inadvertently threw the gauge over and kept the crab. After a good laugh we went back to the dock in search of another gauge, RV park across the road rents traps and sells bait, the guy gave me a gauge and couple of sodas for the boys. Went to pull the pots for the last time and had a our biggest one yet.

Great day on the water with my boys.

excellent, those should be some tasty eats. I had a nephew toss the measuring stick overboard a couple of years ago, luckily I found one buried at the bottom of all my boat emergency stuff...

They were delicious. I told my son I could see myself doing the same thing.

Use a dollar bill they are just the right length, amazing but true.

Roger with the curve of the shell it shortants to the correct length. Can't remember who taught me that.

yep, that was my first thought about this great tip, if the bills were right at 5-3/4" it would have made it easy to make an error...
