Durasnare

Lawrence is the founder of Durasnare, Pacifica’s battle-proven crab snare that locks Dungeness in the loops and won’t let go. Hand-built and field-tested since 2004 on the Pacifica Pier, every weight, cage, and loop solves a real failure he watched crabs exploit for years. A former Pacifica Police Officer who patrolled the pier in uniform and fished it off-duty with the locals, Lawrence now runs guided crab-snaring and poke-pole trips up and down the California and Oregon coasts. Half- and full-day outings put rookies and veterans on keeper crabs with the exact gear he crafts, guaranteeing bent rods, full buckets, and the stoke that only a pier-to-plate day delivers.
