Rob,I and his friend Ross went to Pt. Defiance to hit the opener of crab season.Got our six pots in the water at 7:01 then decided to do a little salmon fishing,thought it was a little funny,there must of been 50 floats in the water?? Went around the corner by the ferry dock and fished for a couple hours, had a few hits no fish, went back to check our pots,got a few nice keepers, but not as good as we thought,moved our pots to the other side of bay and headed to another spot to fish. lost a couple more and had to release a nice wild King. Back to the pots, this time two of the pots were jammed full! between the six pots we got our limit and some rock crab to boot. What an opening day!

Nice work. A limit of crab is always nice, and bonus reds never hurt either. I noticed tons of floats in the water too. I launched at Redondo at 5:15am and noticed at least 50 pots in the water already on my way to Brown's point. People must not have read the part in the regs about a 7 am opening time. Easily could have followed suit and jumped the gun, but I am a stickler for following the regs.

man, I know it's closer to the camera than most, but the one crab lower left corner of the table looks huge compared to the others! Looks like a great day on the water!
