Heading off to Half Moon Bay for the recreational crab opener in a short time. Big party as well as able to start fishing for Dungeness crab at midnight tonight. Some go out and drop pots then. I wait till morning. Probably a 3 hour pot soak will fill the 10 crab per person limit. Hope you had good luck! |

Dropped 4 pots came back in a couple hours to no pots. About a $500 loss. They may show up as the poachers will take the crabs and then the pots get dropped a ways distant. |

Pretty calm, maybe 2’ swells and little breeze. |

Ah the old days on the lower Chesapeake when you could shoot poachers and use them for crab bait. I doubt that is OK now. |

I suppose you need to carry a shotgun and anchor over the crab pots any more. |

Before, since sport crabs can not be sold, they were considered valueless, so there was no theft. Commercial crab pots get you jail or big fine. Doubt the shotgun, but maybe 8oz sinkers flying through the air. |
