Marin County crustaceans

Went out to my fav Marin Co beach today. Weather was perfect , couldn’t of asked for a better day. Got on the water about 0900. My g/f helped bait my pots with some wild turkey carcass, striper/trout carcasses. I put in 3 hoop traps, about 15 dungies everytime I wound them up. Lots of small ones in close, moved to deeper water(40 ft) for biguns. Most of my limit was 6+, tried to pull mainly males but it doesn’t look like there is a shortage of crabs. Bounced the bottom with herringcicles for Mr Hali, no bites. Still haven’t popped my yakbut cherry , any moment…any moment…

Didn't lose any gear, got a limit of dungies, no complaints!

Nice haul!

congradulations on the handsome harvest !  thanks for the report. was that muir beach?

Looks like a great day. Nice payoff for a great effort. Still trying to figure out where your at.

WTG!  Seeing the pics and reading the report makes me want to try crabbing even more.  thx for the report.

You guessed it kayakjack. It is less than an hour from my place in Vallejo. I want to try Doran sometime for some variety but don't really know the layout or the launch. I am thinking about Tamales Bay next Fri for the quad species combo, clam/crab/halibut/ghost shrimp!

Congrat on the Dungie's limit.  Thanks for the report and pictures Willie.

Awesome catch. Was this over the weekend? I was thinking about diving for abs but the forecast looked crappy so I decided to work on the yard instead.  The water in the photos looked calm. Congrats on the catch.

IhateCRAB, but I do like your NO B/S style! Thanks for the clicks!! 
we are separated by the CarquinezStraight and i'm sure we will cross paddles soon.
