I gotta say this has been the best year for crabbing since I started fishing here.

Its not that they are HUGE its that the cages are full of all keepers. Instead of throwing out 5 traps were doing 2.

Boxed a 12 lb red at grande and a 10 lb white offshore thrasher all on anchovys. A 69 and 67cm. Deep 150 to 180 ft. Lost a couple others . Great day. Couple crabs too.
No bites on hootchy or spoons. Probably should have spent more time offshore. The bite seemed better. No alge.
Guy at grande said he caught a huge one.
Saw another guy catch what seemed to be a coho, (really small) then drove off.

Ran over in greasy slick conditions after work yesterday , fished awhile before settling in , a few shakers and better fish on, ended up boating a nice 16 - 17 white down 210' on a 5 inch pesca naked. Conditions this morning suck, slime and current outta this world, no bites

Things are picking up two in the box

... and a little deeper too ... I hit my first one a1 130 feet at 730am and threw the boat in neutral to play the fish and left the line on the other side dangling at 115ft and within 2 minutes it popped off and a second fish started running which made for a bit of fun. Two quick fish on anchovies to call it a day.
Kept a 7 and 9 pound between Grande and Entrance today with 4 or 5 under size let go. Also hooked 3 coho ......... too bad non-retention on them for a wee bit longer. Irish cream got'm all. It's been many many weeks of success ......... can't complain about a damn thing (ie: wind, chop, crap in the water and still not finding one in the teens) ... lol

That's because those are next year's fish
Coho are next years fish? I thought they become unrestricted on June 1. The under size are definitely next years though ....... you may have misunderstood my statement?

Got a marbled 22ers three miles off thrasher early this am. About 60’ down getting set up in the river plume
All undersized after that for me but the good one made the run worthwhile
Spoons were working more than hootchies for the first time for me over there this year. Kitchen sink had the bulk
