2021 Crabbing

The tides for the 11 is high at 5:45 am. We will drop pots at 4:30 or so and soak for 3 hours

Picnic point was slow for us Thursday. Had them in 50 to 70 feet. Got 12 keepers, but in 5 pots with about 3 pulls each of 1 hour soak.  Probably caught 100  crab in total, 85% were female.

Had a first today up in Everett.  Got checked by a gamie as I was coming up to the SUV with a bag full of cooked halves at the marina.  No troubles and he was OK.  This morning's haul, got some real nice ones.

12 has been treating us well. Good enough we are done for a couple weeks so we don't loose our craving for it ...even with giving a bunch away.

Pretty good crabbing out there!

Area 9 sucked for us today. Running 4 pots, got one dungie and a bunch of decent size rocks. Talked to several people at the launch and they did poorly on dungies too.

Can’t wait for the 11th

Area 5 was good to me. 3 limits and we put quite a few back.

Wow some of you guys are killing it

Was out in Sequim for the opener and a couple of days . Caught our ten Dungeness each morning with three pots . Always a relaxing fun trip with good dinners .

I got a couple pots from a buddy of ours. He has 10# weights in it. I would like to take them out. Who uses weights? Could be cause they have property at hood canal

I use commercial pots, they are about 50 lbs.

Clearly not enough use weight with the amount of derelict gear they collect from Puget Sound.
