The boat spends all day racing back and forth fiercely guarding his territory.
I assume I will be seeing massive amounts of dead crabs on the beach soon, last time I saw lots and lots of nice sized dead crabs was after they had been doing this very same thing.
Growing up we never saw this sort of crabbing just a few locals who would row their pots out on weekends in the summer. I will say the racing back and forth acting all territorial is hilariously funny.
Them zooming inside the buoy line where people swim and nearly running them over however is what I refer to as a real ill mannered display lacking in all prowess.

What’s with all the small boats – security? Show of force?

It's because they know we don't like them and we might cut some of their lines. They aren't all bad but it seems that we see the worst of them collecting seafood.

They definately clean house on the crab first getting the cream of the crop and leave us sloppy seconds. What also burns is the public and state park launches being taken over. And do any of them have a Discover Pass :dunno: Nope!They aren't required to have a disco pass in their UA areas. And most can get free passes from tribal offices for when they go to outside areas.

Good luck getting any keepers the first few weeks like last year. We'll have to wait for them to harden up and grow a bit. Last month of the season should be the best again.
:yeah:
Threw back more soft shell keepers last July then I ever have in 25 years of Crabbing!

Almost anywhere around Mukilteo will be devoid of keepers. Head north.
Head north? are you kidding? Have you seen the amount of tribal pots up there this year? It's unreal!

He appeared to be joking with the laughing emoticon? If not, would it be a bad thing if he patronized a casino?

Only if he wants to support giving the Mucks more $$ to buy more land on the westside that gets removed from public access.

Exactly my thoughts on the subject. The more money they get, the more land they're buying up and the more resources they take.

Can the tribes drop pots anywhere they want, or do they have to heed the "non-commercial crab zones"? I can't find any info on tribal crabbing boundaries. I would like to drop my pots in areas they haven't already cleaned out.
Good luck with that.
Here's the treaty language:
ARTICLE 5.
The right of taking fish at usual and accustomed grounds and stations is further secured to said Indians in common with all citizens of the Territory, and of erecting temporary houses for the purpose of curing, together with the privilege of hunting and gathering roots and berries on open and unclaimed lands. Provided, however, That they shall not take shell-fish from any beds staked or cultivated by citizens.

It's wrong they crab the week before the summer opener.
