Well, July 29th couldn’t come any faster to the Jacobson household. That was the day that the recreational crabbing season for Marine Zone 12 (Hood Canal) officially opened!
Our first pull of the season made the nearly month long delay well worth the wait. Our first pot yielded 8 exceptionally large keepers. Several were off the gauge, measuring over 8 inches in body shell span. We easily limited out at 15 and actually had to throw a couple smaller males back to remain within legal catch limits.
The second week proved almost as productive, catching 8 one day and 11 the next.
With the WA Dept. of Fish & Wildlife extending the current season out until January 2, 2010, our mounting freezer stockpile is guaranteed to keep us crab happy during the off-season.
