Crabbing on the coast

So, my gal and I are going Sunday to do some razor clamming assuming it will still be there after the tsunami. We're staying the night and comming back on Monday. We would also like to do some dungy crabbing from the shore but not sure where to go for that. Willipa Bay??? Grays Harbor??? Jetties??? Along the beaches??? We have crab pots but also have one of those cages you cast with your pole. Would prefer to be in the Pacific Beach/ Kalaloch area as it's more beautiful, but am willing to go south all the way to Illwaco... I know it's short notice but would love to get any suggestions available. Thanks for the info and will be sure to post pics of atleast the razor clams. Also hoping to do some rock/surf fishing too...

Take care and be safe.
Dan

I always did well casting crab snares at westhaven state park in westport, the jetty there goes out almost a mile,plus lots of rockfish and lings as well.Good Luck!

Well, so far the coast is still here! Your best bet for crabs would probably be the Westport area, the jetty as slick rick mentioned and the boardwalk area can be pretty good, also at the marina crabbing from the docks can be good. Ocean Shores, Pacific beach and those areas are pretty limited for crabbing from shore
