Crabbing Reports

Overall, I would have to say that we have had nothing but stellar reports from just about everyone concerning the crabbing here in Puget Sound. The reports have been very good from just about everywhere. There have been a few folks that have have been complaining but they are the exception rater than the rule. There are a few areas where that tribal fisheries hit hard and they have been a little scratchy. If you check your gear and are not doing well "Move"! Some times you need to explore a little bit to find the right area or the correct depth. Make sure that you bait your traps well with good bait and make sure that you have weighted your pots to keep them put in place so that they do not move with the tides. Crab do not like to enter into a bouncing pot! We have lots of good crabbing in front of us, so get out there and have some fun!
