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 another’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

Or a .50.

Ah, I knew I needed a .50 for something. Now if I can just convince my wife!

If you are getting a .50 BMG, don't screw around with a Barrett. Get
an M2.
At $3-4 a round it does get a little spendy to shoot tho.

If I were thinking of something like the M2, I'd just get the M85 and put out a lot of ammo quickly.

I have heard that the M85 wasn't as reliable as the M2 and they use
M2s on the Abrams. Dunno, that is all after my time. We had M2's
removed from WWII aircraft (fast shooting, skinny barrel) on our
cutters. We had to be careful not to burn them up. The GMC did slow
them back down to the 400 RPM rate tho. (maybe even less than that).

My tanks in Germany all had M85's. We put thousands of rounds through eight of them without a
problem. These were on M-60 tank chassis. Don't know what they have on the Abrams.
