Big River crabs

Incoming tide, 3 rings, 4 hours work, 6 keepers. FUN.
Windy, chilly, sunny.
I might buy a pot today...

Mako from Willits,

Which one on the water last Saturday morning was you?

I was the skinny old guy with binoculars watching the DFG wardens very closely.

Did you see the guy who was diving for crab off a green kayak?   Or was that just you?

Juan:

I have some you can borrow.  I'll have some in stock SOON.

We just got four of these new crab rings here today if anyone in NCKA wants to help me break them in:

They seem well made and well balanced between the weight of the rings and the floats. I have some stinky oily theories about bait that I would like to test.  We live near Mendocino Town about a mile from the mouth of Big River.   Send me a PM if you like.

-Matt

Right on, Juan!   

sounds like you guys are having a lot of fun up there. what kind of crabs do you catch in the river?

Kayakjack- we're getting dungeness crab.
Hobiesport- that wasn't me last saturday, the 24th. I was out yesterday though. Busy place on a nice saturday. Not as many keepers, only 1, lots of boat traffic w/ outboards.

Mako1,  Do you do ocean crabbing?  We just got our new rings and now I'm designing a pvc frame to hold them on the yak which will include some foam outriggers so I don't flip when pulling pots.

Great White; what kind of crab pots will you carry?  I'll try to send some business your way if someone wants some new pots.  Reguards, -Matt and Mariko in Mendocino
