WHY??????????????
I enjoyed reading your crab blog for the first time today. I still follow you on soundbite. I think I’m as addicted as you to crabbing. I do mine exclusively out in Manchester as I live out there and can just use my smokercraft and oars. Dungies were sort of discovered out there about five years ago. Regrettably each year the fishery has gotten a bit worse with not nealy as many 8-9 inchers but I still enjoy it. Sorry about your pot loss. It happens out in Manchester ocaissionally. What’s your favorite bait?–jim
What do I do if I don’t have my fishing license but have my catch amount?
Hey, Jim! Nice to see your name pop-up here! I use salmon guts almost exclusively. I buy them at Central Market or Silverdale Market. If that doesn’t work, then cheap turkey legs!…
I believe you can still enter your catch amount and submit your name and birthdate at the same time you submit your amount. They can figure it out on their end….Good Luck!
Diana: I’ve never encountered that before. There should be no threat whatsoever in accessing this blogsite!…
