The crabbing continues more or less as it has, kinda slow for most. The outer bay started slow and kind of eased off from there, even though a couple guys today limited out there and a few more barely got any. Ten Mile isn't much better. North of Bodega Bay the crabbing is pretty good in the right spots. TIP: This goes for anywhere you're dropping your gear. If you are serious about crab then drop your pots in as many spots as you have gear for. Spread them out. The go back and start pulling them. Any pot that's empty goes back on the boat. Any pot with crab gets to stay. At the end of pulling, put your pots on the boat around your trap with the most crab. No crab in any pot? Start over. If the crab are there it doesn't take long for them to get in the trap. If they aren't there you need to move your gear. 1st absolute rule of crabbing: You won't catch crab where there are no crab. If you want to just drop your gear and hope for the best, cool; just don't expect a bunch of full pots this year. Sometimes crabbing is like fishing and you have to work for them. This is one of those times.
