Title: The return of the inflatable crabber
Post by: DoubleJ on July 05, 2013, 07:48:40 PM: With other commitments and tide times, I had to wait until today to inflate the raft and set out for the first crabbing session of the season. Started with a 1.5hr soak and pulled this:

Set the pot back out for another hour and got 3 more. 11 on the first day. I did puncture the raft though and had to do an emergence patch job with duct tape when I got back to the dock and my oldest knocked my knife into the water but, I'm still pretty happy. I'll buy a new raft tomorrow and go out at low tide and get my knife back.
