Basic Crabbing Questions

For posterity's sake here's a picture of what I was talking about.  I run the trap line around this ball mount and it makes it SO much easier to haul up.

Ok, folks, basically i'm looking for help here for spots in MA 13 or north of MA 10 for Pier crabbing. Understand many not willing to publicly share, and a web search isnt turning up much. If willing to help, hit me up via PM,  please.

Rich Luhr Beach pier is usually not crowded this time of year.

Thanks Dino
 The apparent alternative is to drive to westport  and do a one day harvest pass there. Not very cost effective even with an eco box car.

Sometimes getting out of the house and doing something recreational isn't all about saving gas money. 
You just gotta do it.

Think of all those poor folks in North Dakota that get a fresh crab craving.

I hadn't seen this. Sorry its been a few years since I've been on the pier. I've only been going to the launch.

Try Steilacoom pier.

Westport crabbing may be a drive for you, but its worth the drive for me. Fast limits and plenty of large dungeness and redrock for the taking. Plenty of other fishing to do after the limit is caught.

Btw folks, is there such a thing as a dedicated style of knife for crabbing?
