Crabbing on Camano

We spent the latter part of last week crabbing near Camano Island. The crabbing wasn't as good as last year but was still really good. On Wednsday and Thursday we invited the Noftle family to join us. It was alot of fun to have them with us. It's always exciting to see people experience things for the first time no matter what it might be. It was our pleasure to teach them everything we know about crabbing. As you can see from this pot we caught alot of crab at a time. Our best pot had a total of 50 crab. Although only 9 of them were keepers. We caught alot of soft shell crab that were big enough but none the less they were soft shell and had to be thrown back. We caught a total of about 50 crabs each day that  we were able to keep. Who knows how many total crabs we caught each day 100's for sure. We ran as many as 10 pots at a time.We used salmon carcasses,shad,and chicken for our bait. The salmon was the proven winner. On Friday uncle Duane and all his family came out with us. It again was very fun to teach another crowd how it's done. Savannah liked it so much that she spent the night and went with us on Saturday. Cameron also came Friday night to crab with us on Saturday. We had alot of eventful things happen on the water. It was another successful year of crabbing and we have plenty to eat for months to come.
