Catch your own crab in beautiful Tomales Bay on a hands-on, family-friendly crabbing adventure led by a California-licensed guide. This experience is designed for beginners and curious food lovers—no prior crabbing experience needed. You’ll learn how to bait and set nets, check gear like a pro, measure crab legally, and understand local rules and sustainability along the way. We’ll be on the pier the whole time, making this one of the most accessible experiences in Northern California. As we pull nets, we’ll talk tide, habitat, and what makes Tomales Bay such a productive fishery. If we catch keepers, you’ll see how to handle and store crab properly for the best table quality. To wrap up, enjoy a simple cooking demo and tasting plus plenty of tips so you can confidently recreate the experience on your own.
Please park up the hill under the trees if possible. This keeps the lower area clear and helps the group by being parked in the shade for the class.
