Crab & Shrimp @ Bodega bay (non yak) 2/21

Went along with a couple of friends to lend them a hand pulling out all of their crab & shrimp pots that they left out there since last month!  The ocean was calm with on/off light rain.  We recoverred 7 crab pots and 5 shrimp pots.  There're 3 crab pots and 1 shrimp pot unaccounted for.  After pulled all these pots on the boat, we got 19 Dungies, a few rock crabs, and about 3 lbs of shrimps.  Here are some pictures of the trip...

now thats a long soak. I guess crappy weather will do that to ya.

Id probably be upset with that outcome after A months soak! Thanks for the report....I bet you ate good...

I steamed the crabs and grilled the shrimps last night and we had a feast!  Those shrimps have a sweet flavor...

Hey Sonny

What kind of bait do you put in the shrimp traps?

I know he used squids for crab bait but not sure what he used for shrimps.  I'll ask him and let you know.

At least you got most of the gear back, and something for dinner!  Thanks for sharing Sonny!   

There are females in the mix. Not illegal Sonny but most folks put the females back for the future. Not trying to be a pain in the ass but thats pretty much how everyone I know does it. The shrimp look awesome.

Point taken!  I'll give the females a break 

Sonny,

How about a Shrimp and Crab dinner with those who have over 500 AOTY points 

Great job on the non yak report - sorry about the lost gear - that can get expensive
