We would just find a good hole between the rocks towards the end of the jetty, drop the bait and wait a few minutes. Then slowly just pull the net up when a crab is on. They stayed on that bait as long as you pulled slowly enough and didn’t get stuck on the rocks. Fun times. We’d steam those up that same night and had a feast. Wondering if anyone else did this and if it’s still being caught there at Oxnard jetty.
