I was down at the beach at the south end of Hartstine last month and found a couple small dungies on the beach, so there has to be some around there.

I'm gonna be down at Harstine this weekend so would appreciate any crabbing or fishing ideas for area 13.


Chances are those smaller "Dungies" were another species called the Pacific Graceful. They look a lot like Dungles, but tend to be much smaller with a purplish tint. A big one would be about 4 to 5-inches.
