i lived in oregon 6 years and kick myself in the arse every day for ever moving back here.. grew up here and love blueclaws but when you talk about taste a nd quantity dungies beat blues hands down. you fish for them with open ring nets. small ring bottom net large ring top. drop em off a pier or from my favorite place siletz bay on the incoming tide think the limit then was eight but eight dungies is like the equvilent of a bushel of blues. body cavities r full of white sweet meat and you get meat from every claw. i have caught some with npinchers as big as lobsters albiet small lobsters but nonetheless as u can tell i am a dungie guy. will retire to oregon when the time comes. dont even get me started on the fishing

Whoa, chill out sparky!  When we first moved here our first stop was the fishing store.  They told us our best bet from shore was to use a pole and crab hawk, my wife and I thought they were insane.  So I dropped $300 on a pole and crab hawk, a crab pot, a giant ring net and some rope, floats, etc.  Sure enough the crab hawk was the best at catching crabs, from shore anyhow.  From a boat, crab pots are the way to go for sure.  Next time I go crabbing in Texas or Louisiana I will try a crab hawk in addition to the usual ring nets we use.

For all you non-believers here is a link to crab hawks website, read the testimonials.

http://www.crabhawk.com/

My wifes side of the family came up from Utah back in June and we took the crabbing for the first time and they had a blast.  The pic is of my father in law.

I would have responded to the comments earlier but I never received an email telling me I have follow up comments posted.

Crab-hawk looks like fun, but a 32" hoop net off pacifica pier can land you 3 keepers in under an hour real easy for only a fraction of the cost. I've heard the promar eclipse nets have even more success, but I don't really agree to their design. if you loose it, I can imagine they can wind up ghost fishing (er..crabbing) for a good long time.

I really despise people who come here and shill a product under the guise of an enthusiast.    Do us all a favor and limit yourself to the "For Sale Forum."   Otherwise, please save your [bull dung] for the farmer's field.    Your post is clearly a shill and is very disingenuous.

Here is my testimonial on the Crab Hawk.

"I found the Crab Hawk to be just a hair more efficient than catching crabs with my bare hands while blindfolded."

Post that on your website.

When will this BS ever end. These so called crab hawk reports always show up every 2 months or so. Pretty sad.
