Pretty sure that if you failed to submit your summer 2015 CRC timely the $10.00 penalty is applied to your 2016 license (since the 2015 winter CRC is issued w/o cost).

Hadn't thought about how skipping a year would affect the penalty. I do know that if you skip a year WDFW considers you a "new" crabber for statistical purposes when you purchase your license. That goes to their report that roughly 30% of crabbers each year are "new" to the sport supporting the ongoing educational efforts.
