How is crabbing this year in the Everett area? I know there were lots of tribe and commercial pots out before the sport season opened and wondered how the catch was now.

I'm sure it was great for the tribes and commercials....

Crabbing sucks - y'all stay home now, I'd like a second season this year.

not much better to the west. indians had pots from b.i. to eglon, could have walked across them. sad to see they get first crack at them. im sure everything is fair (sorry, i just thru up in my mouth) I did pull 16 legals out this weekend with 4 pots. sounds like i did better than most people.

My sons and I got 25 keepers in a couple hours with 4 pots. About half of them were large 6-1/2 to 7 inchers.

With the huge tide swings this weekend you had to be in the right place at the right time to have a chance. The crab just weren't out-and-about looking for food in that current - they were hunkered down in the sand trying not to get washed out to sea. The currents tended to concentrate the crab as well. If you could find a depression or eddy that concentrated the bait and kept the crab out of the current you were in money. It pays to search around and then concentrate efforts where you had a successful pull.

It was pretty good last weekend. Much better for us than last year at the same time.
