So, what should I be looking for (if anything) to put a crab pot in the best spot? Also, best place to get live shrimp in Charleston…where might that be?
First thing for Crab pot is to make sure it will not get high and dry at low tide. I usually look for creeks that will create a funneling area. I am no expert. I have always purchased shrimp at Hadrells.
Good luck.
Cool…thanks Soggy.
Make sure that you have at least a 5/8 ths iron on the trap or it will rollaway in the current.

Sells is right on it! I have lost a few in the past on a big tide!
Thanks guys…I guess my next consideration is whether or not I want to spend $50 on a pot and then have stolen…
Just get some crab line, some 8 ounce sinkers and some chicken backs. Sit in a creek mouth on either side of low water and put out about 8 lines around the boat. Check them every few minutes, when you feel a crab tugging, pull it up slow and easy and dip it up with a net.

That sounds like fun Cracker…are crab more active during certain parts of the day or night?
My wife loves string crabbin’. It is about her favorite thing to do. That and staring adoringly at me.

We’ve always done best a couple of hours either side of low tide.

My wife like it too, she’ll often crab while I fish. You can catch a lot of crabs on a piece of string and a chicken neck.

That’s what she says anyways… She’s really staring and judging… trying to figure out what lovable trait of yours she’s going to fix next.

why attack peapod? 23 was meaner.
Nah, 23 was just pointing out what nearly every wife conspires to do, change us. You called “Baloney”. It is adoration if that is the way I see it.
