Title: Anyone know of a good crabbing dock or pier?
Post by: DoubleJ on July 10, 2012, 12:39:56 PM: PM me if you want or post it here. I don't have a boat or open water pots so I'm restricted to a dock or pier. Anyone know of a good one? Closer to Shelton the better.

Thanks

When I got there I found out that the WDFG had just passed the regulation that you had to have a Catch Card to get crabs, in addition to a fishing license. I was so pi$$ed off I haven't even bought a fishing license since then!
