2021 Crabbing

Area 11 is
Horrible

[carlyoungs]

Been doing better in 120 to 180 deep

Was out in 11 today only rock crabs.

Yep no Dungeness

How deep are you crabbing?

[jstone]

100-130

[WSU]

I'd move and/or try deeper.  Before it got shut down, I'd crab a lot in 160-220 down in 13.  Gotta have the right gear and tides for that but it was where the keeper dungeness were.  I would you should be able to find some at that depth if they are around though.

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.

I'd kill for a geoduck. Well, I'd kill the geoduck. Love geoduck ceviche.

First pull limits yesterday and today again in 8-2 (even with a malfunctioned pot this morning).  Good sized crab too.  We're 60 for 60 now.  Can't ever remember that ever happening.  First pic is Thursday, second is today (was in a hurry and forgot to take the cooler pic).

My crab count this year is at 48 legal Dungies all in Area 5. I have been making dill/red onion crab cakes with them and also giving quite a few away to friends.

Last week I had my first lost pot ever. I think that it got taken out to sea in the -2 tides. We had a huge exchange and it was one of my deeper sets. The pot was around 30 lbs. with a single buoy, 100ft of rope in 60ft of water.

We've been doing a bit of crabbing in 6 just out of Sequim. Ran some deeper sets last week, but 80 feet outperformed anything else by a long shot.

[NRA4LIFE]

Limits again today in 8-2 (no pics though), we made 10 just barely.  Lots of softs all of a sudden.  Threw back more legal sized softs than keepers.  On to fishing more than crabbing.

I moved to a spot this week that was productive last year and is out of way enough it doesn't see pressure......we haven't kept a crab under 6.5-7" all week...
