Where'd you go?

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

Nice job!  We went out but only got 1 :(. We were at not a great spot but with the whole family in the boat and with a breeze we didn't venture very far from the launch.  I did almost see a fight break out in the parking lot as a guy was trying to hold a spot by standing in it and another guy wasn't too patient with it.

Congrats! We only got 4 red rocks after two pulls. I have never had such bad luck in our area.

Saw police activity and a boat being towed in at the ramp while we were headed out.

Where'd you go?

Area 8-2.  It was calm when I launched at O'dark:30 but the wind kicked up soon after blowing against the current.  It did get a bit nasty.  Lots of people and the usual opening day mayhem.  Got out of there early before it got too crazy. 

Looks flat  out there now.

Sad news.  That's a pretty small boat for 4 people and I'm guessing 8 crab pots.

Congrats on your crab! I had to fish at Winco to cure my crab craving. Caught two snow crab clusters for $8.88lb. Pulled up a top sirlion as well.
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!

Pretty slow for us as well at Indianola. 4 dungys and some red rock. Talked to some people at the ramp and they had about the same luck. :bash:

Happy Fourth to all be safe.

Just got a report from a buddy who went out today, 13 pulls, 2 keepers.  He was out of Everett, said everything was just babies.  I hope this isn't a sign of the season we are going to have this year....

Stopped over in Edmonds to see how people were doing there on the Pier.
A lot of people but "No Dungeness" and only a few Red Rocks and they were just about legal.
A lot of people fishing for salmon and "nope" none to be caught.
A friend text me and said they went out in the boat out of Everett and only got one Dungeness.   :yike:
Season is not starting good.  Hope it get better.
JC   :hello:

Dropped the pots last night (only 2) and checked them about noon and got 8 keepers. We were on Camano.
