Binh Nguyen sent in this weekend report:"We went out on Saturday the 17th for easy limits of lingcods up to 15lbs for 4. Rockfish was biting. We got only a hand full of rockfish and 15 crabs." Nice fish. I guess I should have gone north on Sunday.
Or maybe I should have just stayed inside the bay. Allen Evans sent in this:"Landed a limit of crabs inside the bay...awesome weather and the bay was flat"
Way to finish the year Binh!! you are loading up on the lings.....thanks for sending the pic's.
ReplyDeleteI threw in the towel too early, I have a freezer full of smoked salmon but that's it - no rock or lings. I may need to load the boat back up and fish next week weather permitting.
The bay photo would have me taking a nice lazy day nap!
what is the longest I can leave my crap pots soaking before checking? how long will they stay alive.
ReplyDeleteAs long as you leave them in the water and collect at the end of the day you should be fine
DeleteLegally, you need to have them out of the water before the week before Dungeness opens. Functionally, the commercial guys will sometimes let their pots soak for a couple of weeks if the crabbing is slow and the weather is bad.
ReplyDeleteHey, if you ever have been fascinated with "deadliest catch" this Saturday would be the day to head out and pull some crab pots!!!!
