State Fish and Wildlife announced this past week, the immediate closure of sport and commercial Dungeness crab fishing from the Washington-Oregon border north to Point Chehalis off the southern jetty at Westport in Grays Harbor County due to a rise in marine toxin levels. The closure also includes the Columbia River and inside Willapa Bay.

That article was posted in JUNE.  And I believe they have since re-opened it.

Looks like I was told wrong.

Washington may not be closed but we will be.

Its official, crab season will be delayed

Oregon is open in the bays and estuaries with an advisory to eviscerate before preparing and crab caught south of Coos Bay.  Ocean is closed every year mid-October to December 1.  Washington is open (except marine area 10) with no advisories.

Good chance I'll head north in the next couple weeks for rockfish/crab combo if no relief is in sight here.
