We've had our pots pulled also from Miller Bay. Left them over night one time. Went back the next morning and had no bait and a ton of small rock crab. Kind of suspicious since we'd been limiting on Dungy's all week and the pot we put out that morning was full of keepers. I generally drop them in the bay and then fish around the dock or parellel to Suquamish. Seems to keep the low lifes from checking every pot if they know people are actively patrolling the area.

I've had similar things happen....problem is, seriously.....what can you do? I'd love to take things into my own hands, but.....guess who would win? I haven't figured out a single damn thing I can do about it. Reporting is a joke....and I do mean a waste of time. Wardens can do nothing without witnessing the crime, and they aren't going to sit and watch my pots.
Anybody have a "You could do this..." to this problem?

Had to go three pages back to find this old thread, but wanted to report that one of the local crab thieves has been caught. Was reported in the local paper Wednesday. He was observed pulling 14 pots, was a gun packing felon, and lived on Marrowstone Island. If I can find the article, I'll post the link. One for the good guys....doesn't happen very often.

I don't crab, but reading this makes me mad anyways.
I don't agree 100% with all of the RFA's positions, but they look like the best that we have. So ante up like the rest of us and join. Without an effective political lobby the commercials will continue to rule the states waters.
