Commercial crab pots going in today.

<< < (2/2)

storyteller:
There is a husband/wife up north by bellingham that brings bait to tribes,  it is " we have 50lb frozen bags of ground tuna/clams/salmon/chicken it's $40."  I used it, works pretty good but man is it greasy, hard to clean gear.  this was about  3 years ago, I think they are still  doing  it and would sell some to general public if they ground too much.

Stein:
My favorite are the ones in the shipping channel on short lines so they are just below the surface when the tide is running.

The fleet has been pretty serious lately.  I don't know how many pots they run, but it's a huge number these days.  My old 8-2 spots are picked over last couple years, little to no keepers on the opener.  They had 4 refrigerated box trucks buying crab and guys were bringing multiple 55 gallon garbage cans of crab up per boat and there were enough boats to plug all 12 lanes of the launch and all the guest docks and a good portion of the parking lot.
