7/7/2014 1:21:00 PMGear: Danielson "CH1" Crab Trap, 9' Heavy Action Rod w/ 30 Lb Test Braided, Quantum Optix 60 Reel
Bait: Chicken Drumstick - Zip Tied to the frame of the bait holder
*If this is new to you, my recommendation is the Everett Marine Park (W. Marine View Dr. & 10 St) right off the pier/ or Mukilteo pier next to the Ferry (lots of crabs but risky on the traffic & crowd), a "No No" if you're thinking about the Edmonds pier (lots of snag due to the artificial reefs and 99.9% red rocks!).
I wouldn't use anything expensive, 20+ lb test mono is fine, you'll definitely get plenty of exercise for sure bringing them in when you get a tug on your line.
To find a secret hole, during super low tides - you want to scout the beach for drop offs with weed patches (you will actually see the crabs in there about knee high).
