When you get a chance go dig some horse clams, they make great chowder but even better crab bait, keep them whole and freeze them, when you go to catch crab, bust the shell with a hammer and put it in your bait boxes, you will catch crab if they are there

Aye Pete, better make another note to self; "Shorten bow line to not extend beyond stern cleat".

[C-Money]

Glad you got the first trip out of the way. Should be smoother sailing from here on out!! Any pics?

Art would have got a foot squarely in the nuts. Screwing with a boats power on the ocean is a good way to end up dead.

Foot to balls or maybe some quick swimming lessons!

I was getting us out of the rocks and current when Matt caught th eling and I was unable to get a pic before he tossed it back in.

Rule number 1 don't ever shut your moter off when fishing around the jetty. Number 2 leave Art home. That's a bad joke. You never mess with the boat. I will let you know when I start fishing for salmon.

And carry a good anchor with ya so you can toss if ya have to so ya don't end up on the rocks. Don't forgot to tie a healthy length of line to it.

If you can get any clams, they usually make the best crab bait.  They don't have to be razors, but you can use the scraps.  All the other less sought after clams work well.  Some of the tribal/commercial guys I know say that when the state season opens and state crabbers have ten times as many traps in the same area as they do, they will load up with clams and catch more crabs than all the sport traps combined.

And I agree with a few others....killing the engine on the big water as a joke isn't funny.  That dude would never set foot in my boat again.
