Stretch both bands into the knocks in the shank, point at biggest tog, shoot tog, repeat. yeah, I cheat.....but only when there's no fishermen and it's only cuz I seriously suck at hookin' up on tog.....they sometimes just "sip" the crabs off the hook.....My buds always do 3-4 to my one as I seem to only feed them (and the choggies...) frown.gifredface.gif

Depending on the size, I usually pull the legs off, whack it on something to crack the shell and get it oozy, and then run the hook from the bottom rear up through the top and then back down into a leg socket.

My brother and I were experimenting yesterday with leaving some legs, no legs, whole walking crab, and smushed up crab. The legless smashed shell got us a 7lbr and a 6lbr.

Cut them in half and hook through the knuckles.

 

too much work taking the shell and claws off. Any decent blackfish will take it shell and all, and keeps the scup from stripping the meat off the crab as fast...

 

sharp NON-circle hooks has always worked here....

View PostI like to double stack the asians, they seem to like that. The smaller ones, anyway. I can catch short tog all day on asians, but the big greens split in half seem to bring inthe big ones.

 

 

Jeff, we had some large tog in your backyard before the blow on Saturday.
