 Hello. What is the best way to fish crabs for yellowfish in rapids or close to them in the Vaal River? I heard people throw in a crab with no weight and let it drift and then other people say to throw behind a rock with a sliding trace. How do you rig the crab for smallmouth and largemouth and how to catch the crabs ?
Thanks!

 Hi very easy way to catch crabs is with pichard on a hook let it sink to the bottom for a few minutes the crabs will attach its self onto the bait..then you pull out ur line..another option is also using a small net with bait inside.
