Ringo,
Crabbing was excellent in Lopez sound despite the fact there where thousands of commercial pots out when I arrived on the 30th. The ferry captian seemed to be enjoying himself running them over in Thatcher pass.

Fishing was slow but givin time you should be able to jig up a hog @ Thatcher! Just don't get caught out in Rosario in an 8ft boat eek

Ton of bait on the west end of the island but not many fish. We only scratched out one small bm, 28"'s, the one day I fished out there.

If you go clamming you don't need to dig a deep hole as they're in the top four inches or so.

Good Luck!
