Sound Salmon/ Crab openers
« on: May 10, 2007, 02:33:05 PM »
 Anyone have plans for these openers? We'll be hitting area 13 for crab, then possibly area 12 for the salmon opener.

I'll be in 13 for crab!!!  Where ya going?  I've got a pretty sweet spot around Nisqually that produces some 8-9-10 inchers.  We should do a mini derby.

 Your on PBear! Without giving away too much, I'll just say we'll be north of there the first Saturday. We can tally by radio...

 Jack, the whole Nisqually/ Anderson south end area is good, Zittell's has a good launch in the area. Keep an eye on your pots though, I've "lost" at least three pots down there, one I actually saw the boat that took my pot, but they were so loaded down with pot's and were so sneaky about sinking the buoys, when I went up to their boat I couldn't prove a thing. I do know the sheriff showed up not long after and started searching all the boats, so I wasn't the only one that got hit.   :bash:

D-man, A couple of guys that I know set their gear at Nisqually with short lines so that the buoys are well under water.  They come back an hour or so before low tide find them with their gps and wait for them to show.  It keeps inqirirng hands off of them.

 That is pretty slick, never thought of that. I just started taking good bino's with me because I usually troll around while the pots are out. I then set them well away from other pots, then if a boat jets over there (too many times to count) then I do too. The last person who ran their boat over to my pots was just starting to attempt to grab the buoy, when they saw me coming over they asked me if I had seen a pot without a flag around there. Mine had flags -which you can easily tell from a good distance, so I advised them there were no "flagless" pots in this vicinity -nor had there been at all that day..... I've seen the sherriff at Nisqually every time I've been there, but I've never been checked once. I believe the watch from quite a ways away most of the time until they see something that's not right.
