I've caught stingray's on crabs, as well as puffers. Lots of blue runners, ladyfish, and mangrove snappa on fleas, which is a type of crab.

Re: How To Hook A Crab
It's nice to have the proper gear for jigging but you don't really need it. You will not be jigging all the time. WhoDey use to jig with his 8' Chaos Spin rod with a 8K Saragosa reel with mono. Yes, he use to jig with his snapper gear. I tell you one thing, he hooked up and landed more AJ then I ever had. So go out and jig.rare wrote:bolo wrote:Congrats on your Permit this weekend.
Thanks!
I wont be jigging this trip on Yuri (I'm the black sheep), I don't have the right rods & reels this time. Thanks for the heads up on the different knots for jigging. I will start getting ready for next year...Cant let the guys have all the fun!

Re: How To Hook A Crab
I'm bored and not fishing so I re read this post and pulled this out. This is what was happening to me this spring, but with no fish attached. I have no problems with my knots, in hind site it was my hook size, not snelling. Like I said trying different things.bolo wrote: Their crushers will crush the crab flat and most of the time your hook comes off with a tiny shell still attached to it.
