Why I love opening day of crab....and the ongoing season!

Yep....huge for red rocks.

Really?  Those are just a little larger than average.  We've had several that were larger.  I thought they got bigger.  From what we've pulled in, I wouldn't even blink at these.

Finally got the crab dialed in, been a slow season for us up until last Friday in area 8-2.  Threw the pots in and ran out to the shipwreck and picked up the little guy in the second pic.  Threw out a whole limit of keepers.  Had 7 keepers in one pot.  A good day overall.

Lost a pot this morning   .  I hope it wasn’t stolen, maybe just got picked up by a piece of flotsam in the heavy current.  It happens.  Anyway I’m done for the season.

Nice haul.....fish and crab....

Heading out in the morning for one more quick trip. Gonna try and grind through a bunch of pots. Family obligations are keeping me from being out to long to try and troll up some silvers. Hopefully we'll bang out a quick 10 limit for us both and head in early.

Put my newly weighted door pot out last night.  I can't wait to pull it at 6pm tonight.

Ouch, only thing I gotta worry about is the wife being mad I can't go deer and elk hunting this year. I can get her ducks though so maybe she'll let me keep my guns.

DoubleJ....better get that stuff worked out....sounds like it is beginning to fester.

Made a quick trip out this morning with a buddy who has been dying to get out. He sold his boat so is having major withdrawl. We did a quick and dirty grind with 5 quick soaks and managed 6 keepers and a red. That puts 50 alone on my license. Final trip for me this morning.

It has been festering for years now.  It is well past the blowing up point.

Sorry to hear that. I'm one of the lucky ones. My wife is very supporting and when I leave the house I get a kiss on the cheek and a good luck and be safe. Got some pasta sauce on the stove simmering as we speak. The bear sausage that is in it is a testament to her support. I'm defenitely one of the lucky ones.

Got a final tally for my boat this crab season.

Total Dungies: 118 and about a dozen red rock.

Hopefully you get it all worked out John your wife seems like a nice lady.  I was wondering why we never heard back from you any other weekends we would have taken you back out, but from what you typed I guess that may have been why.  I guess I am lucky like H20 my wife is really supportive of my outdoor addiction, and even partakes in some of the activities.

Too late to revive this thread?  I think not......  bring on the winter catch!

April went out last weekend (10-14) for crab, I couldn't go because I was (and still am) swamped with chores at the house.  She said that in area 8-2 they are pretty thin, she only got 4 and the boat took a total of 9 for 4 licenses.  Not a bad day, but since we dive for them and are used to limiting it was a little disappointing.  Oh well, wait a week and a new crop will migrate in!   Her catch...
