Try using a sabiki with some red feathers on it. the mackerel eat the crab too

Nice one! Way to adapt and seek out your own fish!
I wonder if pinning a little crawdad on would just kill it out there...like a giant res crab!

Nice job! Was out Thursday and the crabs were everywhere. Seemed to shut down the fishing... Did you happen to cut open its stomach? Curious about how much these yellows are feasting on the crabs?

Yeah I was out there today and pretty much same.
Nice catch on the iron, way to adapt and land your first iron yellow! Also curious if you checked the guts?

Nice work.

I was out there today also and nobody home. Those little crab bastards were everywhere. I actually found something that I hate as much as sea lions, RED CRAB!!

Opened a Yellow a month or so back during the last crab infestation and it was loaded with crabs. The meat was pink and really tasty.
