I honestly don't know the first thing about that one other than a friend gets some there ... but since it's a similar bay / harbor, I thought I might mention it.

Growing up and crabbing Tillamook Bay all the time ... one thing we saw with higher freshwater input after big runoff was the crabs seemed to move out of the bay on us.

Might be the same, might not, but given the big flows we've seen lately, that might be a factor.

FP, you out there??
