Hey guys. Thanks for the crabbing advice for this past weekend. I thought I owed you a report so here goes: The weather cooperated on Saturday afternoon and we were happy with the results. The final tally was 9 keeper dungenous, 3 Red Rock, 2 starfish, 1 jellyfish (caught on the way up), and several undersized crabs. We stayed close to the Mulkiteo launch ($10 launch fee, ouch!) and had to scout around, but finally got it going. We used a combination of chicken and shad for bait. We only pulled up one keeper-sized crab that was soft (threw back). We spent 6 hours at it, but we're rookies and we had a blast. Thanks again for the advice.

P.S. the game warden did check us, but we had our tags taged, our lines weighted, and our buoys marked, so we passed .
