I have a special crab kit tackle box I put together. It contains balls of strong twine, washers as weight, odd tent stakes to tie my crab lines to and are easily visible and the oldest hammer I own to pound the stakes in the ground and use the claw to pull them from the ground.

We could always get one of these instead....

Wow, did you see how quickly that octopus snatched that crab and hid itself to eat it! That's what I call a quick draw.

Yep, that might make you getting a bite of crab problematic!

What is net preservative?

Just that, a liquid preservative to extend the lives of your fishing nets. Of course I'm not talking nylon mono that some nets are made with. I'm talking the twine string. Dip the net completely and hang to dry.

Learned about it at an early age in the area. All the shrimpers would have their new large trawls dipped and then hang them way up from the ground using a large tree branch and letting them dry. If not, the trawls would rot quickly and they don't give those away.

I bought two gallon cans instead of 1 five gallon can, it was just enough.
