Crabbing and Fishing can be entertaining for Hilton Head visitors, but take it to the next level with an outing of crabbing. Crabbing in Hilton Head will surely add some laughs with the entire family. All you need is a bucket, a crab net, a bail of sturdy strong, a sinker weight, and some chicken necks (found in the 101 Things To Do Booklet guide). Now you are ready to meet the Carolina Blue Crab.
Cut the line about ten to twelve feet, add a sinker, then a chicken neck for bait. Go to any crabbing site like a pier, sea wall, sea shore, or dock. Crabs will be closer to shore in murky water and a bit farther out in clear water. Tie the rope in a stick, leave the end with the chicken in the water, and patiently wait.
You'll see the crab nibbling on your line. Once he grabs, pull the line in with him on it and scoop him into the bucket. He must be five inches wide point to point to keep. A crab with an orange spongy belly is pregnant so let her loose. This process can be rather exciting. Keep the crabs wet and cold until you are ready to cook. Tongs may help you get them out of that bucket!
Cooking crab is easy. Throw the crab live into a pot of boiling water. They'll scream these really loud pitched cry, but don't worry about it (JUST KIDDING) Let him cook about fifteen minutes seasoned with lemon salt, and crab boil. When they are ready, they will be dark pinkish around the claws.
