1st off the sharks are always there you may not see them but they are there I have been surfing manytimes and had a shark swim right by me fishing with live bait is not going to attract sharks un less its bigger and a very bloody bait they are attracted to large fish and bloody meat not little shrimp and shinners which is what wade fisherman use along with shrimp and such you are more likely to get worried if someone is using chicken to catch crabs then anything and then you are looking at a thigh not a whole chicken the blood could attract them but not likely I have doen it many times and not a single shark bite on my line

Oh he has.....many times. It's just that the crabby patty is so freaking delicious that the kid usually eats it by the time he makes it back to the Chum Bucket!\n\nEdit** This makes me think of other shows where you love to love the bad guy! I mean......just once I so freaking wanted the Coyote to catch the roadrunner! I really think Plankton should get that patty! \n\nHis own show? hmmmm.......perhaps fomatted as....."Now, for the OTHER side of the story!" I mean seriously.....have we ever given Plankton the right to voice WHY he needs this recipe so badly? maybe Mr. Crabs stole from his plankton family many baracle years ago! Perhaps Plankton is just trying to salvage what is rightly his own. I really think we should open our minds to the fact that our dear Plankton is most definitely misunderstood!

Live shrimp are your best bet, try some cut bait in the bottom

Do you mean .."how is the roe removed?"\nMight vary from species to species but I pulled Pollock Roe when I was on Processor up in Ak. \nA device kinda like a ring with a projection with small blade is used.\nBlade carefully put in fish anus and slice towards head. \nCarefully so as not to damage roe sac.

Lord yes i have a ultra light rig set up, mainly for bream fishing. bream is a pan fish which will get up to about 1 1/2 lbs. best eating fish there is . but to catch it one is like catching a shark. they are the best fighting fish there is.i have a ice fishing rod about 18inches long with a ultra light spinner on it. i carry it on my bike or truck. i see a decent place to fish i stop. i like it when the place is full of snakes because that is where you catch your big ones. wanna go with me lol.

97# Ling from Horace Caldwell pier at Port Aransas using squid for bait. Prior to that was a 50# Drum out of Corpus Christi bay using shrimp. The Drum wasn't as much fun as the Ling, was kinda like dragging in a stump.

I have found that the best retirieve to catch bass would have to cast it out as close to weeds, or logs, or rock cover as you can, keep your rod tip up and you line taut.  Let the worm sink and usually you will get the hit on the initial fall.  If not, let the worm sink to the bottom.  Then give the worm a few tugs, very small tugs, remember, you have to make it look real, so huge tugs make it look like a super worm, and may result in a hit, but, not many.  After you have given 2,3 maybe 4 little tugs on the worm, let it sink again.  I have found that most hits occur as the worm is falling.  So it is a must to keep your line taut, or you won't even feel the strike.  You must also keep your eye on your line where it enters the water.  Sometimes, you don't feel the hit, even with a tight line, but you will see your line either twitch, or move off to one side or the other.  Be ready to set the hook.  I prefer the YUM dinger in the 4 inch model and 6 inch model, in the watermelon seed color with gold flakes. They have a small slit in the worm to hide the hook in, resulting in easier, and better hook-ups.  Bill Dance once said "Any color and size of worm is good, as long as it is 6 inches and purple."  Try watermelon seed first, it seems to work everywhere.  Purple, black, red, and watermelon seed  also seem to work well.  But you have to experiment to find a good color. Here are a few sites to get you started.  I also have found that if the YUM dinger doesn't work, the YUM 6 inch ribbontail usually does.  If niether of those work, I try the YUM hawgtail, and almost always catch bass with 1 of the 3.  I would be lying if I told you that these three soft plastics have not improved my catch ratio per fishing trip, than any other plastics, and lures combined. I have found that using worms, I have found that it makes little difference on the water condition, when fishing a worm.  I have caught bass in muddy water, clear water, and in between with a worm, as well as at night. Bass have a "sensor" called the lateral lines. The bass can feel the worm before they see it.  In fact the largest bass I have ever caught was caught on a YUM dinger, at 2 a.m. during a full moon. But I have also had good bass at night when it was cloudy out. I prefer to Texas rig my plastics, most always wieghtless, on a 1/0 worm hook.  Have fun, and tight lines.

You run the fishing line through the straws.  Tape the straws together loosely with the duct tape.\n\nYou can then control finger movement by tugging on the lines.

It is a spinner- tear or marquis shaped metal and \nbait- minnow, fuzzy or any bait you add to the hook that is also on it. \n\nGo visit www.anglersupply.com and you will see;)

I used to work the King Crab fishing boats in Alaska back in the 80s. Rubber boots & wet climates make for a fair amount of stink amongst the crew.\nA secret that seems crazy but works well is to spray your feet with Lysol disinfectant, & saturate your shoes as well. Then wait for your shoes to dry. Oddly enough it actually feels good, & works better than any athelets foot medication or stink foot I have ever found on any shelf.

Whelks are usually fished for with homemade pots that are constructed using plastic five-gallon containers, which cost around ¤7 when roped and ready to fish compared to a crab pot, which can cost in excess of ¤40. \nThe main fishery is on the east coast between Dublin and Wexford, with a smaller fishery in Donegal.

A crab gets it's soft shell crabs shortly after they molt their hard shell. In the United States, the blue crab is a good example.\n\nAs these crabs grow larger, their shells cannot expand, so they molt the exteriors and have a soft covering for a matter of days when they are vulnerable and considered usable. Fishermen often put crabs beginning to molt aside, until the molting process is complete in order to send them to market as soft shells. Crabs should be kept alive until immediately before cooking by the customer or restaurant so that they are fresh. Usually crabs must be eaten within four days of molting to be useful as soft shell crabs. They begin to rebuild their shells after that, and when eaten, have a thin shell developing, they are then referred to as "papershells" and are more crunchy when eaten—making them less desirable to many people.\n\nWith the blue crab in cold waters this molting is highly seasonal and usually lasts from early May to July.

ask local fishermen.\nthe bes way i know is troling with jigs. you can also cast spoon baits from a pier or jetty, if they are in a feeding frenzy reel in fast so the bait is close 2 the surface.
