There may not be as many crab out there as we were all hoping for. This pot had 13 nice Dungeness from 70 feet of water off of Abbotts Lagoon with an hour soak. The pot before it had two reds at the Towers. The same thing is happening in the outer bay, where the crabbing is getting location-specific and females and reds are already showing up in spots. It'll just take longer soaks in the right place. Cameron and I ended up with rockfish and Dungeness limits in a three-hour trip, so I'm not complaining (yet), but I don't think my short soaks will work after this coming week. Gage is up to ten Dungeness for the season so far, all from the pier. Randy from Reno arrived today, so Gage removed his traps from the pier "to give Randy some space." It was really because Gage doesn't want to attempt to compete with a pier legend even greater than himself.
Got ours inside the bay this morning. Not many others did from what I saw.
ReplyDeleteWho invited the Stripper to the party? At least you should show them where the sand bars are or they look like googones stuck in the mud all day waiting for the tide to come back. Last who let's the yuppies tie to the dock at nicks having a picnic in their old ass cabin cruiser
Isn't AB season over yet!!!?

ReplyDeleteDid you delete his comment cause he didn't spell Marinites correctly?? Maybe the googones should take notes or get out of the way. Sonoma Strong!!!
ReplyDeleteAww, what I miss?
DeleteSnared 2 limits from the beach with a buddy of mine in a 5hr window ranging from rec size up to 7.5".
ReplyDeleteNice! What bait, or is it secret?
DeleteIt's knowing how to read tides & technique when it comes to crab snaring. Also fresh bait is key...
DeleteI was having doubts about this season until I moved my gear north aways.Stuffed pots of big crab. We sorted thru them and went home with nothing but jumbos. Also we steamed up to Salt Point and hammered limits of nice lingcod and some quality rockfish including a monster olive. The weather on Saturday and Sunday was just perfect the fishing was perfect everything was perfect.
