Underwater shots of Dungeness Crab

Some may find this interesting. I borrowed the drop camera from work over Memorial Day weekend and dropped it over the side of the boat with a bait bag coat hangered in front of the camera. A couple minutes later we were watching crab try and tear my dive bag apart.

Doing a little pre-season research eh, Ray? How deep will that camera go, I've always wanted to put one on a prawn trap. The spot prawn season just closed today for San Juans north and central, we only got out twice. Oh well, next year.

Very cool Ray, nice job. Dungeness crabs are one of my favorites, right up there with stone crabs, king crabs, blue crabs .... confession; I'm a craboholic.

Basic kit goes for just over $600 with 150 feet of coax cable. You can get up to 1000 feet of cable and I remember that it would go deep enough to watch your prawn trap fill up. Our use at work is to survey geoduck beds after harvests to check for signs of high-grading. Here's a link

Nicely done - and all these years I've been needlessly doing it with scuba gear. (g)
