Re: Outer Banks Vacation tips

BTW, crabbing is easy. You'll need a net with about a six foot reach and a ball of cotton twine. Use about twenty feet of line, tie a chicken wing to it (some people use raw, I always save bones after grilling) Let it sit in three feet of water for a bit, and slowly bring it in. When a crab latches on, it generally won't let go until it sees you. That's the tricky part, you have to net it.

Ask around for advice where you can do this. Not sure if a license is required in NC.
