No Summer crabbing in south Sound again??

I never limit out but we always have fun setting pot in area 13. I guess I need to find a new spot to take the family on Hood Canal.
My wife bought me a new electric scotty pot puller this year. I'll have to find someplace to use it.

you must be near me

The kids have a blast dropping pots and catching crab.  They don' t have to be Dungeness crab for it to be fun for the kids.  I have eaten my fair share of red rock crabs.  I think they should allow a red rock crab season.  I don't see why it all has to be shut down.

 I have called and never really gotten  an answer . I think the answer is they don't trust people to do it correctly and not take the the dungeons  or they will say the traps would affect there breeding or some crap

Yeah, that would be a nightmare to enforce.  As hard as it is to say, the best bet is to just leave them until they recover.  If you have kids to take out, teach them to catch flounder, the nonstop action and hard fight on light line will give them more than enough fun.

[Practical Approach]

But is it much different than than enforcing the release of wild salmon when it is hatchery only?
