Crab

[EmeraldBullet]

So San Juan region starts July 1st? I'm in.

Northern Hood Canal may still be good crabbing.  The southern portion, at least from Hoodsport and South, has been terrible for about 2-3 years now.

That is why I am going to try north this year, Hoodsport is either good or bad and the last two years have been bad form me.

We went out for the first time today. Pulled three pots and we got eleven keepers. Threw 10-15 females back and about five rocks back. Not to bad. Fishing in about 60 ft.

   Thx for the report.  The brother and I are headed out Monday.   

[Commando]

Old dog. We went to a new spot today. But I've got a report from my dad that where you are going to go is doing very well

Going this weekend around potlatch. Always get a couple keepers and a bunch of rock keepers. Will report afterwards.

[Encore 280]

Eight limits of really nice crab for two days in MA12. If you like taking all day to clean the meat out of the Rocks, they're ok. I send them all back to the bottom.
