NO CLUE HOW!!!!!!!!

I use pogies in an onion bag or one of my bait bags on a good stout piece of cord. Forget the chicken fresh fish is best , a 6ft dipnet and a 4 in measure stickand a bucket. I don't know what town your in but any back water on the south side holds crabs . Small tidal creeks are bestjust before and after low tide has always worked for me. Good luck

I always used dead eels on a trot line when fishing for crabs en masse. Just make sure you check the local regs on shellfish - they change a lot state to state...

Damn - this has me thinkin' about getting some BLue Crabs
