Winter Crabbing

Cabin fever is setting in and I want to get out in Netarts bay to do some winter crabbing. The issue I have is that the tides aren't is sync with decent crabbing. The morning high tides are before sunrise or later in the afternoon. Or is it worth tossing the pots out during the morning low tide and daylight hours? I haven't had very good luck crabbing during low tides. Times when the high tides are in the am there is usually a significant exchange that I am not interested in challenging. One idea I have is to crab an early low tide and hang out until the afternoon high tide, this allows the chance to get off the water if the afternoon winds kick up.

Any suggestions on how to approach this situation?   

Not specific to Netarts, but I've caught some crab around the tide cycle at Winchester Bay.  I do try to crab the incoming though.  I also watch river flows, high amounts of freshwater flow does seem to have some negative impact.

If working the incoming is important, just crab the afternoon tides.  Not sure the time of day is nearly as important.  We all rush out in the morning, but I've had lots of good fishing days working the opposite shift.  Species dependent of course, there are some more nocturnally ones

my experience has been that in the winter, after we have had significant rain events (like this year), it is important to crab the incoming to and through high slack, more important than other times of the year when lots of crab are in the bays.  I also try to crab as close to the ocean as possible and safe in the winter.
