Well I got the call for crabbing tomorrow, Sat.12th. Skipper invited my father to join us for his first experience. So it looks like dad and I will be catching crabs tomorrow instead of bass at Anderson. Morning swell is down 4.5-6 ft. Comming in from the south and N west making it a bit rough and sloppy. Casting off at 8am. return to harbor before noon when it really picks up.

Pulled out of the berth at 8am and returned just before 1pm today. Working an average of 4 ft swells from the south and north west. We beat the increasing incomming swell and fished 12 pots for 70 dungeness crab. Only 2 under 2#s. Dad was all smiles today, on his first crabbing voyage. All pots were moved today and half were stacked on deck to move to other grounds later this month. After cleaning and steaming our catch of the day, we were slightly disappointed the seas were flat as we packed and headed for home at 230pm. Just goes to show you, the surf and swell report is not always the most accurate. Maybe the calm before the storm...we did see the small craft advisory signs posted. Well time to eat and fill my belly!
BTW Dad got pinched today and I did as well bleeding all over the deck.

Looks like you had a nice day!

Yeah, so far this season we're seeing good color on the pull and the sea spiders are comming over the rail clean and large. Had a couple of misfortunate occurances in 2 pots (pretty but hate to catch em).
