Frozen Peeler Crab: My Secret Weapon for Big Bites! #fishingwithkevy
Frozen Peeler Crab Hey fishing fanatics! Kevy here, back with another bait tip for all my fellow big-bait enthusiasts. Today's secret weapon? Frozen peeler crab! Don't let the "frozen" part fool you – this stuff is just as deadly as fresh, even straight from the freezer. Baiting it Kevy-Style: Here's how I like to rig up my frozen peeler crab: Whole Hog: If I'm going after some real monsters, I'll thread the hook through the crab's body multiple times. This keeps it secure even when a big fish hits. Halfsies: For a slightly smaller bait, I'll cut the crab in half and hook through the main body section. The legs and claws still create a ton of action and scent. Messy Mayhem: Sometimes, I just go for a messy bait by removing the legs and claws and bunching them up on the hook. This works great when fish are scavenging on the bottom. Kevy's Pro Tips: Bait Elastic: Since I'm all about those big baits, I always wrap some bait elastic around the crab to keep it on the hook during a powerful cast. Scent Boost: Even though peeler crab smells great on its own, I like to add some fish oil or scent attractant for an extra edge. Strong Hook: I always use a strong hook that can handle the size of fish I'm targeting. Circle hooks are my go-to for a better chance of releasing fish unharmed. Kevy's Key Takeaways: Frozen peeler crab is super convenient – no thawing needed! Even though I'm a fan of "crude" baits, I still try to present the crab naturally. Don't be afraid to experiment with different baiting methods to see what works best for you! So, there you have it! Give frozen peeler crab a try, and let me know how it works for you. Don't forget to share your catches with #fishingwithkevy. Tight lines, everyone!
