Crabing Helped Needed.

[gasman]

A buddy of mine has got his boat up and running and we have been talking about hitting the sound this year for some Dungeeeess  but I have not been out crabbing in20 years and really don't know of any good areas to drop our pots any more 

Any one got any advise on areas to drop crab pots in the south sound area?(between South Vashon Is. to Fox Island area)

Would the shoeline along Commencement bay be good, or how about Quarter Master Harbor. We did see commercial guys or Native's with a ton of crab pots off Dash Point State Park on Sunday when we were out cruising around.

Thanks for any advise

I have crabbed farther south around the Nisqually reach. I do know that you will have to go down around 200 feet to get to the Dungy's. Allot of Red Rock at the higher depths. Good luck. Nothing beats fresh Dungy's out of the water and into the pot.

A buddy of mine slaughters them at Quarter Master.  Don't know exactly where.

quarter master is still really good try finding the eel grass in 30 to 40 ft and try to hit a clear sandy spot in amongst the eel grass and you will get some, i have caught a quite a few 7 1/2 to 8 1/2 inch crab out there, but if you guys can get to sequim you will do alot better, get your horse clams and smashem up for bait, oh and have fun with the soft shell right now.

I've caught lots of Dungee's in under 20' of water.
I wouldn't go anywhere near where the commercial guys were.

We do well between the Big ship docked on Ruston Way down to about Point Ruston as well as Quarter Master Harbor.

I have always done well in front of the Puyallup but with all of the indian pots out there (100 + pots !!!  ) I doubt there will be any left, but who knows. 

I have never seen so many indian pots out before.  Did the rules change or something?

Thanks for the replies guys  any info helps us out if not reassure what I have done in the past.

I have been hearing from everyone that the NA have been hitting it harder this year then in years past, or at least, thats how it seems.

If you do go to nisqually, watch the tides closely.  With the big swings this weekend and all the people, I can almost guaranty there will be dozens, if not hundreds, of lost pots.  Many will claim they are stolen, but I've watched it happen.
