CATCHING DUNGENESS CRAB

Preparation and Gear

Embarking on a crabbing adventure in Newport is as thrilling as it is rewarding. Before you hit the water, ensure you have the right gear:

• Crab Pots or Rings: Choose between crab pots for a longer set or rings for a quicker catch.

• Bait: Fresh bait such as chicken, fish carcasses, or turkey legs works best.

• Crab Gauge: For measuring your catch to ensure they meet legal size requirements.

• Buoys and Ropes: Properly marked to avoid losing your gear.

Make sure to check the Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations and obtain a shellfishing license before heading out.

Methods

Crabbing in Newport offers a variety of experiences, whether from the shore or a boat:

1. From a Boat: Set your crab pots outside navigational channels and allow them to sit for 30-60 minutes before retrieval. Use a crab davit to make lifting easier.

2. From a Dock: Tie your crab line to the dock, throw your pot or ring into the water, and wait 10-15 minutes before pulling it in.

Popular crabbing spots in Newport include the Port of Newport public fishing pier and the piers of Abbey Street and Bay Street on the Historic Bayfront.
