Fishermans! Northern CA!

[downshift_sideways]

So lately I've been going fishing, and crabbing up here north in the bay area.
The past few weekends, I've gone out to the Golden Gate bridge piers and setting traps. Me and some friends been catching lots of crabs, and it tastes sooo delicious. I'm in love! <3

Here are some left overs after our grub fest earlier today.
This was our catch from last night, We caught roughly 50 crabs.

Anyone in the bay down to go out and catch some crab or fish anytime? I have 5 crabnets, 1 cage, and a few fishing poles.
I mainly fish on the weekends, its become a hobby. I'm planning on going out to the deep sea, and fighting some big ones out there :D

If any local, wants some crab. Let me know. I have plenty of left overs ;)

[ESmorz]

That sounds fuckin tight.

I want some crab lol.

[downshift_sideways]

Yea nothing like chilling with some homies, while sipping some beer, and having a fun time. If you ever come up north let me know ;)

No doubt.

Closest thing we have to that here is fishing off the pier, but I'm not 90 or a grandchild... so it doesn't look to tempting haha.

[lil240sx95]

damn! always wanted to fish up here. hmm I'll have to think about it.

[NemeGuero]

Anthony has crabz!

[wangan_cruiser]

that sounds fun. i love seafood with shells. but dude you guys need to be careful eating those crabs with crab fat. that shit can kill you. a lots of cholesterol with the fat.

[Grendel]

That's awesome. When you take your trip to go deep sea fishing, don't puss out. Go up to alaska where they film deadliest catch :p

[downshift_sideways]

[trsilvias13]

umm I wouldnt eat that much out of the bay, but the bay is so polluted. That what has ruin it for me, at least for a while.

Most of the crab and fish in general are from the bay.

This is the same stuff they sell at the wharfs, and restraunts.
dungeness crabs, are out here; and sell for great $

[fliprayzin240sx]

Damn...how the fuck do you do crabbing? I wanna learn how so I can go catch me some fucking dinner!!!

[origin_s135]

^^^^
crabbing is so easy, i used to go with my friend before he took off to iraq. i used to go pole-picking for eel's and rockfish too. oh yeah anthony, my homegirl got so lucky one time, she was pulling up the crab net and she fucking caught a rockfish PLUS crabs! the lucky fucker.

[nistech]

if u get caught crabbing out of season you ll go to jail. just keep in mind

[WilloW]

Damn...how the fuck do you do crabbing? I wanna learn how so I can go catch me some fucking dinner!!!

Buy/make one of these http://nylonnet.com.ismmedia.com/ISM2/MerchandiseManager/34.gif.100.gif
get a nice big piece of chicken (thigh or drumstick), or a bigass fishhead and put iit into a bait cage
http://www.addictivetackle.com/images/products/preview/661876.jpg
then tie the bait cage onto the bottom of the crab net. Tie a long nylon rope to the crab net and then toss it into the water and crack a beer. I usually give it about 10-15 minutes before hauling it up.

Edit: All this talk about crabbing made me miss the Bay Area. I can't wait to go home.

That is technically true, but even thought they are from the "bay", many crabs arent actually from inside the "bay".

If you caught things "in the bay" (from golden gate bride and anything toward the inland), I would not eat a great quantity of it.

There also restriction rock crab must be 6in in diameter and No dungeness crab are allow to be kept if caught "inside the bay" because that is one of their breeding grounds. I know a guy who crab for a living and transport from Oregon to SF to sell to restaurant and the wharf. So even though some place say their crab are from the bay, it not withing the bay.

If you go crabbing off Van Ness in SF (where many ppl go), keep the feast to a mininum. There was a warning to eat so many serving a week or something like that.


Keep it safe and keep an eye out for fish and game. I seen people getting busted for keeping dungeness crab and undersize crab when they are not suppose to.

[Thursday]

PM Me your addy ant, ima be in san leandro today lookng at a bike.

That is true.
If you get caught catching dungeness crab. It is a $500 fine for EACH one.
It is also true that they do breed them in the bay area alone.

I've never been to Vaness, but in general I heard not to eat too much of the crab you catch yourself. When I do eat them, I make sure to take out all the bad meat.

[TiNMAN]

i went last night.. only took 3 home which is pretty sucky compared to how we do on average(20+). yea..make sure not to keep them dungies inside the gate. try pacifica if you wanna take some keepers home. isn't the red/rock crab size limit 5" across? i coulda sworn, someone go check regulations.

i use to fish a lot(2-3 times a week)..but have slowed down recently. although i do eat a lot of what i catch, its mostly for sport/recreation. im always down to rip some lip. holladeezy.

[CKAMC]

I can't wait to find out your sick as fuck or caught some toxic shit in your system from the bay area water.

[TiNMAN]

i've been eating stuff caught in the bay for 15+ years and im still standing strong.



bc in the bay...we go YEE!

[Andrew Bohan]

It is also true that they do breed them in the bay area alone.

nope, they breed in other places, most notably around port angeles and dungeness, wa, for which they were named.

[an_orange_s2k]

my friends and i always have wanted to go but we cant seem to wake up that early or stay up that late in the cold to do it

[TiNMAN]

[downshift_sideways]

Glad you liked them.

Me and some friends are most likely going crabbing again this weekend.

If anyone would like to go, your more than welcome to, I can possibly carpool a few of you there. We have all the gear, just chip in on some gas and beer ;)

[illvialuver]

so about 4 months ago I went up to the gay bay to do some crabbing with a friend from fresno, so we go to one of the piers, and I swear I almost killed a fucking seal. that motherfucker, he ate thru 3 of our crab nets, and I eventually started to just ziptie the net were the holes were out and put hole cans of viena sausage and shit like that in it, dumb fuck at that too, but long story short watch out for the seals. I was starting to hope I would see a shark come and eat his ass.

[downshift_sideways]

Very common for seals to steal your bait.

I had a friend almost fall in because a seal tugged the line.

[Andrew Bohan]

in san diego, a bunch of sea lions got on some dude's sailboat and sank it

[illvialuver]

yeah I started to tug on it with my friend and that bitch could easily pull in a 200 lb guy , I had to let go cause my feet started slidding toward the rail and I would have gone over for sure.

[ESmorz]

Are Sea Lions as tasty as crab?

[silviaguy240]

are crabs really that big of a deal out west? how much is like a bushel out there?

[theronin]

would you say you had a plethora of crabs hefe?

[heiyuu]

Holy shit this sounds awesome.

When I come to SF for GDC next year can you guys take me? Plz?!

[drftwerks]

bring some to the andrew bbq

[downshift_sideways]

When is the andrew bbq?

I have a bowl left that needs to be eaten by today and tomorrow.

Anyone local want it?

[TiNMAN]

are crabs really that big of a deal out west? how much is like a bushel out there?

[downshift_sideways]

Tin..next time you head out let me know bro.

I wanna go fishing!!

[inertiaticism]

I remember my grandad used to take me crabbing at the beach when I was a little kid.
But we never used pots like that, we just used the big ass trapezoidal hooks made out of sharpened clotheshanger wire and stuck chicken livers on them, then ran them down under the dock with string and pulled it up after getting a bite.
Stupid ass things would just cling onto the clotheshanger not wanting to let go of the chicken and you could pull them up.
Took forever, but I have a feeling he was trying to get us annoying ass kids away from our mom and dad for a while anyway.

I'll definately bump this when I go to the beach in July, my brothers and I get trashed and surf fish for pretty much an entire week.

[Andrew Bohan]

i used to go scuba diving and just pluck crabs right off the bottom.

you have to carry a ruler with you though, cuz when you're diving you're not even allowed to touch crabs that are too small.

[downshift_sideways]

Anyone down to go crabbing this weekend? I got the gear and bait ;)

[slider2828]

Damn it, you right next to me too bro.... Too bad GF is coming over from Japan this weekend. How about the next weekend?

[ALTRNTV]

I used to go crabbing and pier fishing all the time
when I was a teenager in high school. I seriously

...and tasty.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y114/kis_tinman/fishing/jpg0006_r1.jpg


Is that a sturgeon? Where do you catch that?

This looks like a lot of fun. Too bad I'm 3,000 miles away.

No real cause to complain though, I'm on the OTHER bay in the US known to produce shit tons of crab (Chesapeake), and so I suppose there's no reason I could take some people out there and do the same thing.

I've really only fished for bass recently, I can walk to a couple lakes from my house.

[downshift_sideways]

Yea Thats sturgeon.


PBCSTYLEZ: Let me know when you want to go bro. I can do it this weekend if you want...

Slider2828: Next weekend I'm at thunderdrift and camping.

Maybe the weekend of the 16-18th

[TiNMAN]

Is that a sturgeon? Where do you catch that?

[ESmorz]

Probably. Or leave it on someones driver seat.

[BustedS13]

Probably. Or leave it on someones driver seat.

well, that's what i'd do anyway

[TiNMAN]

wtf did you do with the stingray? do people eat those?

i gave it to the guy next to me. the wings are good to eat, just a bia to clean and prep. i haven't tried it myself. just hearsay. those batrays get crazy big...ive seen some over 100lbs easy.

Probably. Or leave it on someones driver seat.

yea, ill prolly be down for sunday night. if im not in SJ riding 4 wheelers!

[WanganRunner]

wtf did you do with the stingray? do people eat those?

Yeah, skate wings are delicious, although they indeed a pain in the ass to prep and cook correctly. I screwed a bunch up before I started to get it right. My local Lotte market carries them pretty reliably.

Been crabbing alot in Oregon lately and its slim pickings. The dungeonous right now are so small. Looks like I should pack my bags and head down south. Oh and sturgeon is so good.

The trout fishing on the other hand has been awsome, pulled 10 out the other day. Only kept my limit though. /wink
