Melissa and I took the dogs to Hood Canal Sunday to try for some evening crabbing on Hood Canal. Soaked twice for an hour each time. Pots had dungeness and no red rocks. Caught 15 with 14 being females and the only male coming in at about 5 in. No keepers but the day and the views were amazing.

We pulled out of the salt and dropped into a local lake to flush out the salt and caught a few rainbows before sunset.

New place for us and though the little time spent didn't produce dinner we had a great time and will try again!

Nice pot of crab! I couldn't help but notice your buoy; my wife's maiden name. :) Montana girl, no relation. Are you using rb trout for your bait?

We used a hunk of an old fat broodstock rainbow caught last year that I would have released but swallowed the entire lure! Meat was less than desirable. Mixed that with some Kokanee carcasses. We tried this last fall at Westport and that bait combo out-crabbed the chicken legs. Just trying to recycle some stuff in the freezer. My research led to this being considered legal though if others know differently please inform me as I try to follow all the rules as best as I can interpret!

Old frozen trout does make very good bait and to my knowledge, it's legal.
