2013 Crab opener!

[Chase2008]

Been a lot of years since I have been crabbing at Kayak when I was little with my dad. Would like to get some this year but no boat. Other than Kayak where can I crab from a dock in the Everett area. Any tips to get some fresh crab?

I'll be headed out Monday with the fam in my boat and some friends in their boats... Cannot wait!

I will be out monday...in hood canal...if any crab are left.  I have been watching pot after pot get pulled today...I'm not from here but I assume this is tribal harvest?

[Smossy]

Ill be dropping something, that's for sure..

Oh dang stuff just got real!

Lol I meant a deuce! Ill eat crab until I physically cant anymore.

Dang it, CP - I don't know you, but I'm having a hard time liking you right now! 

I won't be able to crab until Thursday...

Good Job CP

Dang, I should have taken today off.  Will be out Thursday and Friday in 8-2.  That first crab feast of the year is always the best.

what did that pot have for keepers in it, my guess is 4, damn tasty little bastages aint they?

[seth30]

HOw long of a soak?

[suga]

Soaking right now. Will be pulling the first pots of the season tonight, when I get home. Keeping my fingers crossed

Heading out in a couple hours to catch the afternoon tide.  I'm hungry just thinking about it!

That pot was only down an hour and I think it had 2 keepers and 2 that measured but were soft.   I moved a bit deeper (60 – 70ft) on the next set looking for harder shells and limited on the 2nd pull. 

Lots of pots out there this morning, especially on the Whidbey side.  There must be a lot of people taking the week off.

We still have 2 1/2 weeks to wait....  Just stupid!
