Overview

What makes this experience truly unique is the opportunity to learn **West Coast crab snaring beneath the iconic Golden Gate Bridge** with experienced local guides from Durasnare. Unlike traditional crabbing with pots or traps, you’ll learn how to cast a crab snare using a fishing rod and reel and experience the excitement of catching crab from shore. We’ll teach you everything from gear setup, baiting, and casting techniques to identifying species, measuring your catch, safe handling, and responsible crabbing practices. No prior fishing or crabbing experience is necessary, and **all crabbing equipment is provided**. Whether you’re visiting San Francisco or a local looking for a new adventure, you’ll leave with hands-on experience and the knowledge to crab on your own. Don’t just visit the Golden Gate Bridge—**come catch crab beneath it!**

Itinerary

Guests will learn the art of crab snaring beneath the iconic Golden Gate Bridge! We’ll cover everything from A–Z, including gear setup, baiting, casting techniques, reading the water, and how to properly retrieve a crab snare. You’ll then get hands-on experience casting from the pier and trying to catch crab yourself.
