Dave, the lowest tides are in early July. I was in northern Hood Canal and crabbed/clammed Fri & Sat. Word was that crabbing was gangbusters on Tues (the opener) but declined rapidly each day. The Native Americans working out of the Salsbury launch were extracting 44,000 pounds/day. Their opener was the same day as the sport guys - now there is some intellegent planning. You cound really tell on Saturday that all that was left were commercial throw-back crab -- soft or imperfect if legal. May a fresh stock of crab will move up from deep water in the next couple weeks?
