I've done a little bit of crabbing over the years with dip nets and collapsible baskets. This year, I'd really like to fish for them with a trot line.
Can anyone give me a rundown on what basic equipment I need, where to get it, and basic tactics (where to try, time of year/day, etc.)? Or perhaps even better, maybe someone can point me to a good resource for reading about this or a video to watch.
I have a small skiff with a 40 hp motor in the lower Potomac. So I think all I need is some line, cinder blocks, floats, a net and bait...but I don't know what I don't know.
Thanks!
