quite a few years back my dad and I were fishing in lower hood canal and there was about 20' of floating poly rope on the surface with no bouy that was right in our trolling path. we pulled it to get it out of the way and it turned out to be connected to a shrimp pot full of fresh bait and a bunch of spots shrimp in it. we dumped the shrimp and threw the pot in the bushes, its probably still in the bushes to this day.

Since I'm usually a weekend warrior we never needed to worry about what days crab was open. but the family and I were out camping this week and everyone in the group was double checking when pots could be in and out of the water, i feel sorry for the old timers like my dad without smart phones... I hate these types of regulations. Keep it open all week and make it easy.

2 keeper dungees in (3) 3 hour soaks of 6 pots on monday with fresh salmon carcass as bait in an area that was productive last year... it wont be long and the only crab in PS will be red rocks...
