Crabbing is the activity of catching crabs, typically done along coastal areas or in estuaries. It can be performed using various methods, such as traps, nets, or by hand. The most common species targeted include the blue crab and Dungeness crab, which are popular for their taste and culinary uses. Participants in crabbing often use bait, such as fish or chicken, to attract crabs into traps. The activity can be enjoyed recreationally or commercially, with regulations in place to ensure sustainable harvesting. Crabbing is a popular pastime in many regions, especially during the warmer months when crabs are more active.
