Recreation King Crab Fishing

[buzz720]

Does anyone here fish for king crab? I was wondering what do you use for traps? Or is there another method?

I find the easiest method for king crab is to take out the wallet, and hit Costco :)

You need to use hoop traps because of there size. A friend of mind just showed me some pic from last week of about 40 kings in 6 traps. About half were keepers, around the 36 " mark. Also kill in the prawn department, just outside of kitimat.
