Hi guys, New guy here. I was wondering if you had any tips on a decent place for pier crabbing? I don't have a boat and was thinking of heading out July 1 when the season opens. A friend of mine recommended Mukilteo and a neighbor said Deception Pass (not sure where though.) Kayak park maybe? Thanks!
