This is how you go crabbing down in NJ... use chicken necks or bunker pieces for bait..
when you feel the crab on the line very very slowly pull it up.. then slide a net under the crab and grab that sucker..

Ahh Fisher... you bring back memories..
I used to go out on lobster boats on the Bay of Fundi when I was aroud 7 years old..
learne how to band them then..
and all about the traps.. the parlor and the dining room...
and the difference between the claws....
