2021 Crabbing

[Flaming Antler Outdoors]

It's time for crab in most Puget Sound areas, funny to look back at the regs and see how slowly they are getting more restrictive, I live on Hood Canal for example. Crazy how hard I have to work to continue to get limits when it was once such an easy fishery all summer long. Good luck to everyone, "go north" once again my friends.

Was just up there geoducking.
The commercial pots I saw them pulling were very busy.

And that was just off the one beach I was on.

Looking forward to the 8.1 opener on Thursday. Got family from out of town with a boat load of kids. Should be fun!

If you take me out, I'll take pictures with my phone... problem solved.

What kind of depth are your pots? And what bait?

[NRA4LIFE]

We ran them from 80 to about 115. Chicken for bait.

We ran out and made a few pulls today Out of Oak Harbor, on the East side of Whidbey Island in 8-1.  5 pots in and 3 limits in roughly 2 hours.  I had to go to work on swing shift tonight.  So they'll soak overnight and hopefully be heavy first thing in the morning.

What is you usual soak time

[NRA4LIFE]

2 hours or overnight.

we never do over night just because of theft, but try for 3 hour soaks but the reality is the tide. If I can have a pot soak during the out, then slack and some incoming you get the best of all worlds.
