Just reading your post on Tuesday's crabbing. I was wondering if the crab were still there after the storm and discovered they were. On Tuesday a 41/2 hr soak produced easy limits for 3 in 90’ off Abbots. Fished 7 pots. Rounds pot had 2-3 crab, square pots 10-20. Bait was salmon heads and Duck carcasses. Rockfish were plentiful plus 4 lings to 10 lbs.

And one from Mike Martin :"The counts are down a little but still averaging 10 per pot in 180-200 straight west of Jingle Bells. We were averaging 15-18 a week ago. By the way we use commercial pots. Not sure you can keep light gear on the bottom that deep.
“Please don’t rob my pots”
Commercial gear should start splashing tomorrow morning so the crabbing isn't going to get any better. There's a report of an entangled whale swimming around already, even without the commercial pots in the water, so you can be assured that changes to crabbing regulations will be coming sooner rather than later.
I posted my video of the underwater footage i recorded in 100 feet of water off bird rock last week. If you ever wondered what it looks like down there or what your getting snagged on take a look. there is 4minutes of footage in the middle if you dont want to watch the whole video.

Cool footage. A whole bunch of Blue fish down there.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting that, as you know when you have your own boat you don't often get to see how other people fish. I appreciate it.
