We will be having hotdogs this month and possibly one tub of Spaghetti til it runs out. I am with you on the way the crab seasons have been mismanaged. After talking to the WDFW crab advisors, they said they would never open only one area at a time ever again. I was there Memorial Day in my home crabbing area last year of 8.2 and the other 10,000 boats. The Tulalip tribe was there with us too. Our PSA state board president is working on a stand alone catch card for crab. I don't know if you know how they do the crab counts or not. They do a phone survey of a very small percentage of people with catch cards. Then they average that into ALL catch cards. A lot of people don't even crab. What he is proposing is to have the stand alone card. There will be a small fee for it, but only people that have the cards will be counted towards our quota and not everyone else with a regular license. The reason for the small fee is because if they were free everyone would get it when they renew their license. This would defeat the purpose. This is one of the only ways we can see that we can show them we are not taking near as many as the tribes and commercials think we are. I cannot believe that everywhere you go you see tribal or commercial crab pots everywhere year round anymore. Every commercial buoy has at least 5 pots attached to it. Our measily little catch doesn't even make a scratch in the population, yet we are the ones that always pay back to the resource. I think the reason the current catch cards are not counted is because when they first got them back the counts were so low that the tribes didn't believe them.
