Can't blame them as when I was their age, I was excited about crabbing too

...except we did it in Bodega Bay. Good childhood memories indeed  :

Just be sure to keep the right crabs and size ...

Some places let you keep one claw of certain crabs.

First time I went crabbing, I was about 12. Went to Bodega Bay and had to climb down a cliff and then hop along the rock and concrete breakwater pier to get to our spot...Good memories  :

Never done it myself. We used to go to the creeks and  get crawdads.

Them crabs look kinda small.  If white crab inside the bay, them poacher would boil it on the spot and eat them and throw the evidences overboard. 

Young and night trips were the thing to do as a young adult while growing up.  My fondest memories were warm summer nights and by early morning, it got cold and going home all salty and icky feeling.  Blessed be the person who has to drive home and see that rising sun though. 

A few times, we went deep crabbing but a few of us bought our clubbing clothing with us.  Some ditched crabbing to go clubbing.  Club be out by 2am and we would meet up with the crabbing crew which is just around the corner.   Fun times.

Yep, crabbing over tends to yield the best results when we went so we pretty much just camp out there til early morning..
