Thank you. Appreciate the comments. Your channel has great content. I was surprised you did a top 5 of beaches to crab in the Bay Area. Good stuff. 🤙🏽🤙🏽

Work smarter not harder by walking back. Have you made plans already to go to the coast to crab snare? 🤙🏽

@@BackFishing I went a week or two ago and gave your snares a try. At first I thought the loops may be a bit small but I was wrong, Now I think mine may be too big. All I got were undersize though. I'm trying to get a friend to go to my favorite beach as soon as we can go. Looking for a good wave and tide. Storm fronts moving in right now.

@@outdoorfreedom9778 All very good points Gene. GL next time. 🤙🏽🤙🏽

Trying to keep it as simple as possible. 2 poles is plenty when they are active this day. Appreciate the comments. Thanks for watching. GL 🤙🏽🤙🏽

Too funny. LOL

I've been hanging out in the Bay Area for a few weeks now. Good to be back. I'm glad you got into some rockfish.

Thanks PK. Crabs are starting to fill up with meat as oppose to the crabs I caught in September.

I hope you guys did well. Good luck on all your crabbing excursions. 🤙🏽🤙🏽

They do the trick and you are able to cast farther to cover more ground. Thanks for watching. 🤙🏽🤙🏽

Thank you for watching. Always appreciate the comments.

Gonna do that someday. Do you use just shrimp or sand shrimp for flounders?

@@BackFishing actually have used just regular night crawlers reeled slowly along the bottom, but have talked to people using sand shrimp that did pretty well too.

1 hour before low tide is best to reach deeper channel but this day I went 4 hours before so you can still catch them but require further casting.

Thank you! Keep up the videos, looking forward to more!!

Appreciate it the comment. Just trying to share the outdoors. If I can do it, it's doable for everyone else.🤙

Sorry to hear you guys got sick. Let's meet sometime in Tillamook. Sounds like a good time. I'm in CA now thru Thanksgiving but back after that.

@@BackFishing ooh! that sounds amazing. I would love to connect out there. I hope you have a fantastic Thanksgiving with family! I'll be making my 21st Thanksgiving meal and now that the winds died down I might even smoke the turkey instead of oven roasting...

@@hedoesthingspdx You as well. Happy Thanksgiving!! 🦃

Roy, thank you. Hope your well enough to go out soon. I know you slam them all the time. 🤙🏽🤙🏽

@@BackFishingthanks Hale', I've been back crabbing since October 12th, two weeks after the elbow surgery, lot and lot of big males there. 👍👍👍

Thank you Dee.

Glad you enjoyed the content. Thank you for the commenting!

Siletz Bay in Taft is closer. I've gone Winchester bay on the piers. Barview Jetty is good. GL

You know that recipe! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

Tight drag too. 🤙🏽🤙🏽

Being mindful without creating more fishing pressure for the locals. Hope you understand. You are on the right track. GL

@@BackFishing hahaaa... I figured out exactly where you were later after a few of your quick camera pans... logical choice to be at the mouth there, ive just never tried it there. So a similar experience for me in a similar setting, but without all the waves, just sand and calm waters, was in astoria 2 years ago, when there were expanding out all the beach recreation access areas with massive construction going on... it was at the further access point before deading... it was either point "C" or "D"(which ever was the furthest out)...it was so peaceful there with no tides really and ships just going back and forth in the distance...and just monster crabs on snares... and water level is like netarts at slack, so that you can just even walk out with a regular trap and drop it there too at waist high... i can share this because im leaving the country next year and i know you wont reveal it.

I am casting 8-10 oz on that Beefstick 10' rod. Rating is 1-6 oz but still holds. My other pole is heavier goes up to 10 oz. which is older Mastercraft 12' rod. I don't have high end equipment for crabsnaring but still gets the job done. GL

Thanks for your comment although a bit odd. Not in the area you noted but just curious of your comment. Do ODFW ever close crabbing areas besides exposure to demoic acid and MPAs?

Tillamook Bay area, Oregon

Just look at shallow bays and estuaries at low tide in the Tillamook area. They can be found in this manner. If your referring to crab snaring, they can be found anywhere with sandy bottoms along the beach or jetties. GL

Thank you. Equipment I used is written in the description of the video details.

I have never gone to the Locks to fish for shad. I am sure you can fish there. I know they fish for salmon there. This weekend is free fishing weekend in WA June 10th-11th. Fishing at the west end of North dam access road has rocks but you might have might be able to navigate them. Look at google maps satellite view towards Hamilton boat ramp. Otherwise Cascade locks is your best bet. Good luck.

Thank you so much One of these days will have to hook up with you.Have my Hip replacement surgery in July so 6 weeks off jumping on Rocks to risky

Bummer this weekend am workin

South Tillamook. Thanks for watching. GL

Homemade snares. The ones you get at the stores are not as good. Most people replace the loops on those and just keep the cage. Thanks for watching. GL

Lots of people have ask me but unfortunately I don't sell my snares at this time. I have seen custom made one online like Offerup etc..GL

I pour about 8 - 10 oz on my snares and use 50lb-60lb braid. Less stretch on braid vs mono and can cast further.

@@BackFishing Wow, that's heavy duty line. Thank you.

Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out.
