Re: Hermit Crabs

From what I have experienced and seen-on eastern LI and Rhode Island- they greatly outfished everyone else on a boat with approx 20 odd people, they can really level the playing field if your tog skills arent all that. No sure if they would have same effect here in NJ

Got a 14.5 on my buddy's boat with a half a green and two legs(tog code) so what's the chance you can't just throw some mussels down with some shells and killem, that's what's in most of the bigguns stomaches...?

Crack the shell with a hammer to get the Hermit out and put it on the hook whole. It's a fairly soft bait so most will also use a piece of crab on the same hook so if they steal the hermit there is still something to keep them interested.

Re: Hermit Crabs

alright. so I kept 35 out of the 36 alive. just soaked like ten paper towels in saltwater. layered two towels per single layer of crabs. made sure there was no ecess water. threw them in the fridge overnight. the germits stayed alive until 3 pm the day after.

just wanted to let u guys know of a emergency method in case you aren't by a dock like me.
