Fogged,

I only keep what I intend to eat. There may be a few times when I have a couple in the freezer, but this would be for family gatherings or parties. If I kept every salmon I caught, I would clearly not be within the limits of the law.

I fully support the sportfisher 100%- I get torqued everytime I hear something that effects us! And yes, 16% is not a fair number. However, this number is not going to change anytime soon. Until "we" get a fair allocation, we need to fix our own backyard before we go barking elsewhere.

I have the opportunity to fish over 100 days a year on the sound. Imagine if I dropped a pot or two half that time.

Lastly, since the Dungie population in MA13 isn't great, I am content with the two or three I do occasionally come across. Should I have to drive somewhere for better crabbing? To me, that is not worth the time nor effort.

If my family drops a couple pots and we all get limits, I would certainly say 18 crabs is in excess!
