Damn tribal crabbers!

[PolarBear]

Went for a cruise on the sound with the wife yesterday.  When we came up to the Nisqually flats I was surprised (not really) to see over a hundred commercial, tribal crab pots stringing from the old barge to half way to Zittle's.  There is no telling how long they have been fishing it and what kind of damage it is going to to for the opener for the rest of us on July 1st.

As for how long, they get a 40 day jump on the sport and commercial.
