I saw crab in the market last week at $10.99/# so I guess we've already paid for our licenses.


We too dropped 6 pots on the opener. 9 hour soak for 11 just legal keepers and and handful of softies. Rebaited and soaked over night. Only 7 the next morning. Our worst opener ever. I really think the geoduck divers, that have been hitting the area hard the last several years and were at it again Friday morning are affecting crabbing. On the Friday pull we had 4 empty pots. Bait (horse clams) wasn’t even touched.
