I'm from California and going on a RV trip up the Oregon Coast. I've done this in 2015 and it was a blast. Unfortunately I haven't got a way to mount my kayak yet with my 5th wheel. I will be in Coos Bay, Newport, and Winchester Bay.
I have 2 questions:
Where can I get a fishing license?
What are the regulations for Crab Traps? I can't seem to find the details on the ring size with the rotten cotton. I have Promar and Danielson crab traps.
Thanks, JimmyD

1. online is easiest. There's a new system this year. If you are travelling through Eureka during business hours you can stop by and print it out at my office on waterprrof paper.
2. 3 trap limit per person. There isn't any rules regarding escape rings or the like in Oregon. No females allowed.

Clarification correction. Other than the limit of 3 crab traps/rings per person, you can use a dip net, rake or bare hands as well. Dungeness crab = 12 male @ 5 3/4". Red Rock crab = 24 any size, any sex.

Ling Banger:
The rule of thumb is months with names that contain an "R" are best for crabbing. If your trip is in the near future don't be disappointed if their shells are soft and only half full of meat. They just molted. Late November is prime time, but the weather can be downright miserable.
