One fellow on the pier had 4 Dungeness before 11:00 this morning. Everyone else was playing catch-up until the divers showed up. They did well by freediving under the pier for their crab. For future divers, I recommend diving a little further afield. Don't dive where someone may think that you are taking crab from their gear. It doesn't matter if you are or not; appearances are everything. Nothing happened today, mostly because the crabbers on the pier were cool. They aren't always cool. It's probably good that I wasn't crabbing from the pier because I'm kind of a petty and vindictive. In a world in which loitering with your boat near someone else's crab pots can get you thought of as a pirate, diving near someone's net for crab could easily be misinterpreted.

Given the weather forecast for the weekend through the 25th, what day/times look to be the best window for crabbing off the pier?
Thanks!
Saturday will have the mildest tides and currents but Monday will have the best weather. 8:00 AM or so is the slack tide; have your gear freshly baited and soaking by then or don't even worry about it.
are you closed any for Christmas?
Christmas day and after noon on Christmas Eve we are closed.
