I have my boat in Des Moines Marina in one of the dry sheds. I slung my boat in on Thursday before the crab opener on Friday. Rented a covered slip for the entire 4th of July weekend to crab across at Maury and Vashon Islands in area 11. This is my secondo season in area 11 after 17 years up in area 7 out of Bellingham. I did very well last year in area 11 at Vashon and Maury.
The crab results were 6 dungeness for three days of soaking pots overnight. It was horrible. Never had these type of results. I wasn't willing to travel more than a few miles to tend the pots since I live walking distance from the marina and figured I'd get long, 24 hour soaks pulling them 3 times a day. All others that Crabbed in the same general area had same results. The further north the results got better in northern area 10 on up.

I'd like to know where all the crab went......
