what bait would you suggest for blue crabs in ocean

I have only used this trap fro crayfish. But, generally any rotting meat: on old BBQ chicken leg is ideal of Crayfish. I would guess the same of crabs. BTW: this trap will NOT work for dungeness crab: it needs holes to let the below size ones out to be legal (here in California).

Really, about anything that will release a big scent trail. As long as it can fit in the bait bag, you're fine! I prefer to use the remainders of fish, such as the heads. If that isn't available, go for chicken necks. Chicken necks are mainly for trotlines, but hell they sure they smell. Have fun, and good fishing to you.

Although I have not caught one myself, I have caught everything from spiders to crickets in these things so I am pretty sure that they would catch silverfish. I do not believe the silverfish would actually be drawn to the traps, I think they would just have to happen into them.

This one did not work well at all. The Combat Max Large Roach Bait (link: http://www.amazon.com/Combat-Source-Large-Child-Resistant-Stations/dp/B001ACMBJK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1407113338&sr;=8-1&k;eywords=combat+max+large+roach) works GREAT. I have no idea what the difference is, but it's noticeable by what is left alive after they've been put out.

Sorry, I cannot help you. I have never used these lures in deep salt water. I have only used them in brackish (sp?) water and I have never caught anything on them. So sorry. . .. . .

I would go to a bait shop for fishing worms. Things grow bigger in Texas and these worms are a tad puny for the garden. I think that they would be a tad hard to bait a hook with unless it was a small hook. Only a small amount of the worms were a good size. I fish and fishing worms are usually about 5 times longer and 3x thicker than these guys. Just saying. Walmart sells worms too, you might want to check them if Amazon doesn't have them.

no bait is needed. You place the hole against a wall, so the mice will go thru it and become trapped.

Weedless with the hook on the top or the bottom, either will give the bait a different action. Try both to see which way works best for your application.

Any should work, but other baits are possible. Have they already caught mice? If so you may need to boil them to get rid of the scent.

IDK - I use it for netting hooked fish on a pier too.................I imagine either would work, but the cage will preserve the bait better, keeping the crabs from "walking away" with the bait............

I'm not sure on silverfish,but you can give it a try.It definitely works on cockroaches!

Depends on what you animal you are catching.You can google on line how much food.I would cover the food area in back where you put the bait.

It has been some time since I ordered or used this sand, but it is very fine and should work fine for hermit crabs. Not sure if they need a fine sand, but I used it for a toad and it worked great.

I cut the baiting In two.get the deepest run.I have used for 4 years with no problem with animals.

My first choice would be chartreuse, 2nd white, then pink. But really depends on what bait is around and how the water clarity is. But I wouldn't get hung up on colors all that much. How you rig it is more critical. Don't drag it on the bottom aimlessly, use a bucktail and gulp teaser combo.

I can't speak for ocean but I've been using these rods on the great lake and have caught kings in the upper 20's and low 30's with no problem. They are hard to beat for the price.Good luck.

I would probably say to use the 1/8 oz size but it really depends on the water current where you are fishing along with the size of the gulp bait you are using. You want it heavy enough to not get swept away too quickly if the current is strong but not so heavy that it falls to the bottom too quickly when jigging and takes away from the action of the bait. The 1/8 oz would probably be a good place to start. Hope that helps & tight lines!
