Honestly we were crabbing at a bad time durning the tide swing.

The curent was pretty swift, but we did manage enough crabs for a good dinner that night.

We place our pots between 35-85 feet. All pots had the same results.

The tide was dropping fast.
We were called over by a fellow boater that had pulled his cuddy up on to the beack to get something out of his house before heading out for an over nighter. Tide was droping so fast that in the 5 mins he was away from the boat it had beached itself pretty good. I was not able to pull it free. And 15 mins later it was high and dry.

We normal only crab up in the Everett area, but it does not open untill July 1st.. And we could not wait any longer.

Last year was awesome for crabbing. Hope it is the same this year.

We were letting out pots soak for 15 mins between pulls and sometimes getting 6 keepers from a pot.


Hard to see but this pot is 1/2 full of crabs. After a 15 min soak.

We are going to try the hood canal area this weekend. It will be our 1st time in that area.
