Default Re: Catching mole crabs 🦀 on lures

Those crabs would make excellent Blackfish baits and I would be giving that a shot right now since once the cold weather sets in they'll be gone and headed offshore.

A nice heavy weight to hold bottom, the way the current rips through there I'd say 8 ounces and make it a flat sinker so it doesn't roll. Sinker on a bottom loop, 4 inches above that tie in a 6 inch leader to 4/0 hook. Toss it out near some rocks and hang on!! Note you can only keep 1 @ 15 inches right now and 11/16 you can keep 5 @ 15...
