Title: Shrimping
Post by: Encore 280 on May 08, 2019, 01:35:40 PM: I noticed in the regs the times for the openings are listed as 9am "through" 1pm. "Through" meaning how far "through" 1pm, until 2pm or what? :dunno:

Post by: Mfowl on May 08, 2019, 02:07:16 PM: It means 1:00pm on the dot fishing is over, your last pot needs to be out of the water and done. Depending where you are fishing there will likely be WDFW enforcement looking for this.

Post by: Jake Dogfish on May 08, 2019, 02:08:15 PM: I had to go look myself. This State consistently makes laws that are ambiguous creating more violations. I’m sure they mean “until” 1pm, but why don’t they have a proofreader? :bash:

Silliness aside, good to luck to all who head out a shrimping this year ;). That's one thing I've never done.

So you are the one guy who doesn’t go out?

It’s a crazy zoo. Tide is perfect, weather forecast is insane this year. Best outlook I have seen in the 20 or so years I have done it.

Post by: Stein on May 11, 2019, 03:05:44 PM: What’s up with Everett charging $15 now? Makes me think WDFW took it over.

We launch out of Bayside Marine, friend keeps boat in boathouse and a forklift sets it in water 🤔 no waiting in line...

Post by: Stein on May 11, 2019, 05:24:15 PM: That’s the way to do it, I’m afraid to call and ask what they charge.

Post by: theonlybfc on May 13, 2019, 08:43:03 AM: Depending on boat size be prepared to spend around $380+ per month. Sweet service though.

Post by: Salmonstalker on May 14, 2019, 03:02:44 PM: 4 limits in two pots. We earned it though, went to area 7. Weather started beautiful. Fog rolled in, brought nasty fog wind, 50 yd visibility and a nasty chop on top. It was a good thing we got out of there fast.
