How to Catch and cook dungeness crab - homemade crab snare

The best way to catch crab on the Oregon coast is with crab pots, or rings. I use a Promar TR-530 heavy duty pot. I also built a homemade crab snare which I use to catch crab in Coos Bay. I'm going to show you a quick way I build my crab snare. On this crabbing trip, the weather was bad so we didn't stay long. However, I was able to catch a big dungeness crab with my snare.
Crabbing season runs year round here in Oregon, but the best times are September - December. You can keep up to 12 male dungeness crab that are 5-3/4" or more.

Just a reminder to all my California anglers - snares have a 6-loop maximum👍

@sharkparty1027 5 лет назад

how many loops max in Oregon?

@outdoorfreedom9778 5 лет назад

I was a bit puzzled by the snare or snare's but whatever works!!! I think our snaring in Ca. is a bunch more fun but my kingdom to pull a pot like PK did!!!!! There were a bunch with bragging rights in that first pull!!!!

@pdxfishing6840 7 лет назад

Love your catch and cook videos. Looking forward for more catch n cook video in the future

@ncwarrior62 3 года назад

Great video and wow what a catch in the first pot. I am looking at shrimp pots I have several large square blue crab pots I have had for years always produce. Several times I actually caught flounders in my pots. I live on the outer banks of North Carolina. Have a blessed day!

@elkhunter76 6 лет назад

Years ago 3 friends and I went out on a charter out of that bay for halibut. We drove straight through from Wyoming to go out in the perfect storm. Captain of the boat said he normally wouldn't go out in that weather but because we drove so far........crabbing would have been fun.

@owinsmyth4712 5 лет назад

M8/friend,try this, When you have got your crabs,and your back doing your cook up,when you have boiled or cooked them put them in a ice water slurry for 5 minutes,it makes the yummy meat contract and don't stick to shell,you can just pull nippers and legs,and all internal meat will come out with nippers or legs,it also saves having to clean the crab before or after cooking man, well that's how we do it down here in Australia with out MUD crabs and sand crabs,👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Love your channel bud,keep them clips coming, cheers

I'd like to see you grab the business ends of a Northeastern blue crab like that. Your new nickname will be Stumpy PK. :D Great video. Enjoyed the cooking segment too!

@marcotolento1486 5 лет назад

Awesome videos!. I once cut one crab off the pier. Down in Long Beach California. I just got tangled on my line and I was just fishing for halibut. And I caught a small Dungeness.

WoW! Y'all wasted no time in cooking them up... looks delicious!!! Fish ON!!! Crab ON !!!

I like all your surf fishing video I also like surf fishing too but I could only go twice a month from where I live(Tracy CA) two hours drive from Santa Cruz I thank you for your video.

@outdoorfreedom9778 5 лет назад

Great video!!!! I have never seen a snare like the ones PK bought. I make two types, one a bit small and one bigger style. For the bigger type I use the instructions from a video by scorpiontube712. I did make my own mods but they work great here in Calif. using rod & reel. If I had a boat I would be following PKs way of doing things. Great video!!!!

@longrider42 7 лет назад

Okay, I was always taught you cook crabs like that alive. Or at least that is how I used to do it on the east coast.

@fabulousrobert6607 2 года назад

Is there a taste difference after you clean them, then cook them by way of steam? versus just steaming the crab whole without cleaning them - the original way you see them at the market? I always wondered if there was a difference in flavor and taste.

very nice video quality. i'm hungry for crabs now......You could empty the entire trap FIRST, then put back in the water..THEN sort the crabs! More active trap time that way.

@smackvang_9896 7 лет назад

Crab snares are usually for fishing poles. For fishermen’s on docks, jetty’s or on shore. I think you just invented something new, no need for cages anymore lol jk. Great video!!

@Tehgon 7 лет назад

Kinda off topic from video but I've seen a lot of your Oregon surf fishing videos and I was wondering how do you know where a good spot is I live on the umpqua and bank fishin has been a bit slow for me and I want to try something different like surf fishing

@chadworley8009 7 лет назад

Looks great pk. Did the surf fishing at newport in September. It was so much much fun. Caught alot of fish. Caught some crabs also. The meat stuck to the shell. What usually causes that. I see u cook your crabs with no water. I was always told to cook them in sea salt in water. Obviously that's not the only way. How long do u cook your crabs

@oregonlife 7 лет назад

I boil the water first, after it boils, I toss the crab in and let it go for 15 minutes. Here we used butter and about 1/2 cup of fresh water. you can use ocean water, but we have a lot of seagulls at the boat docks and lots of bird droppings ... too risky. if you cook crab over an open flame or coal, it will stick to the shell. you won't have that problem if you boil it instead.

@tha7098 5 лет назад

Hi PK, could you list the exact location of the beach in this video ie town, city, which stretch of the beach so i know where to stop by next time i am in Oregon. thanks

@paulverling3758 5 лет назад

In Oregon you can only have 6 snares per trap. Check your a state regulations on shellfish. This Snare is illegal in Oregon.

beautiful video. great lunch. i have a fishing bayliner but cant use it, need a driver. man you have all the nice equipment. must buy some..is the trap for fishing crab different than the one for lobster. i am new at this.????? i have subscribed. thank you San Diego, Ca.

@lifeofeels8271 6 лет назад

Hi, I noticed that you changed your method of cleaning the crab. The previous two videos you hit the crab against a hard edge, which seemed a lot faster and more humane. This time you ripped the top of the crab off with your hands. I'm just curious why you changed your method.

@oregonlife 6 лет назад

+Q Lee I did hit it but the cap didn't cleanly come off. So I edited to the part where I tore it apart

@lifeofeels8271 6 лет назад

PK Yi , thanks, i was just curious. Btw, i enjoy all the videos you've been posting. I've been learning a lot. :)

@vicheachim6708 7 лет назад

Pour beer into the pan too. Mix the gravy from the shell to add to the flavoring bro. My ratio is 1 dungie 5 beers lol.

@rocketmanure6702 6 лет назад

You mean down the hatch right lol

@WhiskeyToro 6 лет назад

Sautee Garlic and shallots with olive oil and butter to preference. Add 1 whole lemon juice, some salt, pepper, Fresh basil leaves, 1 bottle of your favourite Ale, and steam on High heat for 10 minutes, medium heat for another 10. That's only my basic recipe.

@PacificCoastHunterz 7 лет назад

There's no limit to the number of snare loops you can put on your cages up there?

@oregonlife 7 лет назад

I checked the 2017 regs but I don't see it. 3 pots/rings/nets per person is all it states. Nothing in the statewide section either.

@karinsaurage-bob6298 2 года назад

Read it again...6 allowed

@EvilEjXD 6 лет назад

Is it possible to catch them on shore? I’ve only caught blue crab before

@ernestoinfante3931 7 лет назад

Pk AWESOME crabbing! I normally go at Newport jetty for crabbing on fishing poles with a snare on the end of it. we had lots of success doing it too. It a lots of fun too!

@oregonlife 7 лет назад

Nice. Tossing a snare off the jetty sounds like a lot of fun. I might have to do a video on that!

@ernestoinfante3931 7 лет назад

WE were using 10 feet fishing poles with a 50 lbs braided its a must to have. It does not break and a lot easy to throw out far on the water. we tried the collapsible net they really work too.

@ernestoinfante3931 7 лет назад

Pk I made two of your home made snare and tried them at the jetty they really work ! awesome invention. THANKS.

@baseballboy7794 7 лет назад

Please update more and update more crabbing videos more specifically

@curtishuffstutler2934 7 лет назад

@Hapinopino 7 лет назад

Why do you clean the crabs that way? The butter in the crab heads are good after you steam em up whole.

@MrStoneyone 7 лет назад

the toxins are in the butter and lungs , better to remove them before cooking

@DK-si5yj 2 года назад

Thanks I did not know that

@shakorasharp179 7 лет назад

Where did you catch the muscles and that looks good

@Hardcorediver44 7 лет назад

Nice rig. How big is that boat and what size motor do you have on it. Looks comfy for three guys.

@oregonlife 7 лет назад

it's a 14 footer with a 9.8 HP Tohatsu motor. 3 guys would be the limit for sure.

@ericv4152 7 лет назад

I thought that if its more than six loops it’s illegal

@dorflonnigan4413 7 лет назад

great video, are there other crab spieces that you can go after?

@oregonlife 7 лет назад

Yes, I think so. dungeness and red rock crabs are the most popular, there are others but I don't know if they allow retention. I caught a kelp crab before off the jetty, it was small but had huge claws

@andygim5194 7 лет назад

Very nice video I wish I could live in Oregon too. PK are you originally from San Francisco area? I noticed you were wearing fortyniners hat few times from your videos.

@PacificNWfishingadventures 7 лет назад

How long did you cook for? How much time passed?

@oregonlife 7 лет назад

Once the pan is hot, we put in the crab and cook for about 15 minutes.

@PacificNWfishingadventures 7 лет назад

Awesome, did you add water too our just butter? Big fan of your videos too.

@oregonlife 7 лет назад

Jeffrey Reynolds yes. Added about 1/2 cup of water (garlic will burn if you don't)

@junl8282 7 лет назад

How many is the limit in oregon

@launilarson692 5 лет назад

Yup , just need a lil more butter for me .

@robbieunderwood8349 6 лет назад

Are there two types of dungeness. Hard and soft shell?

@oregonlife 6 лет назад

Besides the sexes, no. The softness just comes after they are done molting

@robbieunderwood8349 6 лет назад

PK Yi thanks

@jasonblair1114 7 лет назад

What's the deal with the 'no crotch shot!!!' label on your fish finder/depth finder?

@oregonlife 7 лет назад

Just reminding myself to point up my gopro up if it gets knocked down

@alessandra21 7 лет назад

I enjoy your videos, PK. Why does your fish finder have "no crotch shot" taped on it?

@oregonlife 7 лет назад

+alessandra21 haha. I've had videos where my Gopro was pointed down at my crotch and wanted to reminded myself to avoid that embarrassment

@alessandra21 7 лет назад

I figured it was something along those lines, classic!! Tight lines and fish on!!

@juknjp421 5 лет назад

well, if it works for the mother in law!!! LMAO

@zolabdul6728 6 лет назад

Very nice immediately cooking taste so good, I am also hungry. Keep it up.

@fabulousrobert6607 2 года назад

It’s always the mother in law huh? 😄

@marke.1021 7 лет назад

I think you kinda missed the idea of crab snares, even though yours were huge as ll can be. The smaller ones you see us here in San Francisco Bay area use are for people who don't have a boat. We use 10-12 ft. surf rods and prefer 30-60lb Braid cast on the beach just past the breaking waves. If not on beach use a harbor or Jetty as you have a gob of them up in your area. Fill the smaller ones with squid and cast out for about 10 minutes reel in..Nice and simple. That bait box conversion is ok just not quite the same.

@chimyshark 7 лет назад

I think he was just going proof of concept to make sure the snare loops actually work. I'm pretty sure he cut them off as soon as he got home because he doesn't need to snare in rough surf from the beach. He'll just take his boat out with a nice trap; esp as he mentions in the vid description, traps are the best way to catch crab in Oregon.

@marke.1021 7 лет назад

If you have a boat..if just near a beach can use snares as intended....That is my situation no boat, so use snares from beach.
