Went crabbing today.. It's nice when you have to quit because you limited out. That was fun.

Sorry no pictures. Can't get to post using my iPad. Will update when I get back home.

I love those days, How long did it take you to limit out?

Nate about 2 hours. In fact just got back from getting 11 more this morning. It's been really good crabbing. About 1 hour past slack turns really hot. Saw 3 chinook landed this morning also. Just out past Moe's

Way to go.  It is good to hear you are having fun and luck cabbing.  I think next time I head to the coast I will be bringing a crab trap with me. 

Ok final update on the crabbing. A friend and I Went crabbing three times in two days, Friday and Saturday. 42 keepers went in the cook pot. I am full of crab. Just about killed myself eating all that crab 

Nice catch! Oct and Nov are without a doubt my favorite time of year for crabbing in LC. I almost brought the family out this weekend for that very thing. Tides were perfect too

Taken right out of the regs. Way to go Delux dont forget to post the pics when you get home. Did you try the Salmon fishing while your traps were soaking? I hope I can get down to LC soon and give it a try. I will have to get the right gear though as I have never crabed with my Yak and only been once with a power boat.
