A few weeks ago our family was up at Whitney point for some crabbing and playing on the water.We had a really hard time finding any legal crabs.Later in the day I watched some Indians make a few trips in to the launch with pots and over a 1000 lbs of crab.Here we are lucky to get a couple limits of crabs and they are bringing in huge tubs of crab.I know its their right.Just wish I didnt have to see it.Too bad the seasons couldnt be seperated so the sports and tribes arent out at the same time.

This 1 bummed me out more.We were up in the same area last week.As we were walking out to 1 of our favorite spots to get steamers.I see a couple boats that the tide left high and dry.As we get further out I see several more boats in the same predicament.I start looking around and see all these blue mesh bags filled with oysters.Their are stacks of them all over the place.With people walking around with 5 gallon buckets dumping them into the mesh bags.I couldnt believe I was scratching the ground for clams,measuring them then counting them as I put them in a bucket.Till I got a limit of 40.While watch whats going on around me,I just got madder and madder.I think I know now why we shuck our 18 oysters on the beach and leave them at the same tide level.Its so we can leave enough behind so that somebody else can come in and cream huge amounts of them with hardly any effort.I say let them get oysters.But make them shuck them just like the rest of us do.I bet with the extra work they wouldnt be so enthusiastic about harvesting so many oysters.
Fortunately I had a few family members around to help me keep my anger in check.

My last big bummer is,I had 3hours of surgury on my right shoulder Thurs. Had to have anchors set in the bone then have the cartilage and bicep muscle sewn to that.In 2 spots,plus had a torn rotater cuff that had to be cleaned up. What timing,right during the start of prime fishing.It looks like my fishing and probably hunting season are going to be severly limited. I'm praying that I'm able to get some of both in though.Gotta try to be optimistic.
