I fished off of Redondo this afternoon. For two hours worth of work I hauled in four crab and a seven pound blackmouth.





Makes for a crowded livewell.

Sheez Carl, sometimes I really despise you...
And to think I have been saveing away on my boat all day

Hey Easy, I knew a guy that didn't smile as much as you when he caught "grabs".


Looks good!

.......come to think about it....he wasn't in his boat eiither!

Could you share what bait is best to use in crab traps? I generally use a salmon head. I have dropped my trap about ten times in Quarter Master Harbor and am yet to get a keeper crab. Thanks

Raw, frozen turkey leg. $0.99 @ Safeway.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

where the heck is redondo?

Hey Easy,

Is that Yamaha 15 a four stroke?

If so, how much do you think it weighs, and is it pretty easy to take on and off of your boat? (assuming that you do)

I'm looking into buying one so I'm curious. Thanks.

MaxMad - Redondo is between Des Moines and Federal Way.

4Salt - The motor weighs about 120#'s. I leave the motor locked on to the boat. It is a little more weight than most people would want to have to deal with on a regular basis. That is of course unless you are a big strapping buck like myself.

Thanks Easy, I thought it looked a little big to be hoistin' around! The reason I asked is because I have a 12' skiff and a 25' travel trailer for the wife. I cant' tow both, but the boat fits in the bed of my truck.

I've heard that the new Yamaha 2 stroke 15's are the [Bleeeeep!] also, and are probably a WHOLE lot lighter.

I used to be able to lift quite a bit of weight in my younger days, but now I'm relegated to the 12 oz. curl!

Nice feeessshhhhh! Those crabs look mighty tasty to boot!

Carl, how did you upload the pix? I haven't been able to access the upload center...

do any of you guys know where I might be able to fish for crabs from a pier or dock? Thanks!

You might have some luck right off the pier at Redondo. If it were me, I'd get one of those castable crab snares/traps, go to Redondo and cast from shore at the SW end of the beach/boardwalk (in the general area of the mooring buoys).

BTW - Nice haul Easy.

DR, I uploaded my pix to gamefishn.com

KNS - the Redondo pier will work for ya. You may also try the pier down on the Ruston Way waterfront in Tacoma.
