Trotline Crabbing is good outdoor fun for anyone.
Crabs fight, bite, twist and turn when they are caught.
The wire or nylon doesn't allow your crabs to get tangled up so easily. Learning to use the dip net to catch a crab takes some patience and practice, and there are various methods to improve your skill. Look for crabs clinging to bulkheads, pilings, and piers. Be certain you can reach them with your net, then scoop down, alongside, under and up. Chasing after crabs in shallow water is most exciting and offers a continuing challenge to your scooping talents and proficiency.
