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!

Bad luck. Came home with donated crabs. We have had a problem the last
few years with pot poachers. 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.
I suppose you need to carry a shotgun and anchor over the crab pots any more.

They have put new rules in place about pulling anotherâ€™s pots. Makes it a
penalty via law. 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.
Sinkers can work wonders!

Until you use one on a guy with a 9mm willing to send some lead your way.

... or a .308

I've never tried it but I'd think that getting off a well aimed shot
from a moving boat would be quite difficult.

There was a discussion about this on THT and you are right but in this
case I doubt you really want to hit the thief anyway.

A 12 gauge without shot may be the way to go.

Legally it would probably be considered brandishing or threatening
with a deadly weapon. Worse yet, it might justify return fire.

A 12 ga without shot just goes "Pluah" with unburned powder falling
out of the barrel.
