Dungeness Crab & Sand Dab Combo Trip on the Check Mate12/23/2010

thank you so much I have gone with my son and we have filled coolers twice.. we went on the 2/4 and 2/11 ... the first time we had a load of fish filling the cooler and limits of crab, we come back for more and had much more luck on the sand dabs ... they were fatties! however the swell took half the crab pots under the water and we got 3 crabs each. it was fun ... thanks for the videos.. cant wait for the rock cod season to start again.. hopefully we can have a season somewhat like last years

@fishing650 The weather forecast calls for low winds in Monterey Bay this weekend, but the swells are going to be high (~9 feet). It may be bouncy out there and getting the crab pots will be more difficult to see and retrieve.

is this exciting for kids?

@fishing650

For kids, this would be a good trip since they're guaranteed to catch a few of them. And it's not too strenuous since the fish aren't that heavy, even if they're catching them 5 at a time.

Not too big. About 5 - 7 inches each. No Limit.
