''Crab lining'' is a handlining technique used to catch crabs. A piece of bait, normally the neck or leg of a chicken, is tied to one end with a weight in order to keep it from floating. The line is then cast by hand to an area approximately five to ten feet from where it is being cast. This is to ensure easy retrieval of the line and to avoid unnecessary time spent fighting currents, rocks, and other obstacles in the water. Once a crab takes the bait, the line will tighten. It is important to not tug at the line once a pull is noticed. The line must be slowly retrieved, inch-by-inch, until the crab is visible in the water. Upon visibility, a hand net may be used to capture the crab. The Internet is not required. This technique is widely used by travelers, children, and recreational fishermen to catch crabs in bays, jettys, and piers throughout the world. The most commonly caught species of crabs through this technique is blue crabs. ==Crab lining Equipment== Bait: * Chicken: drumstick, chicken neck * Fish: mullet (fish), mackerel, squid Line: * 15 lbs. or heavier monofilament fishing line, braided fishing line, twine Net: * 7 ft. or longer hand net 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Crab lining」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
