Crab region 4 is basically the same as Marine area 10. Tribes are fishing May 22, 23, 24, with a 65 pot per boat limit, no catch limit, 24 hours per day.

In this area, the tribes have caught more than the state share by 5 tons per year. That's each year from 2000 to 2016
( 17 years x 5 tons).

So explain to me why they start in May? part of the 5-ton disparity is that when I go out, all my crab will be 6in or less and I'll have to throw them back for most of July and into August, until they molt again in grow that extra quarter inch.

someone once told me, it's like being at a buffet, but you are the last guy in the line.
