Albion May 14-17..... ARC-1 2010

Thanks, missed you guys too, next year for sure!!

Yeah Pat, i LOVE crab, but the nets, and all the extra gear is just a lot of crap to carry around...

Maybe ill try it again, but im thinking I will unload the gear..

Nice job Brent!!!!!!!!!

Really wish you could have shared in the fun up at Shelter Cove, but super glad that you and the family had a great time together!!

Sweet Cabbie too!!

solid family outing, looks like everyone came out a winner on that trip (except the couple on the beach lol)

Great report - glad you were having such a good time south of us.  Next year bring them all up to GS5.   

Dude, your daughter is super cute!!

We need a family beach day with a FishFry afterwards SOON!!!

I bought Valentina a fishing pole and am dying to get her first fish this summer!!

We got the BigYak now for the kids, wives and yakless buddies!!

I will try not to snore too loud this year Rich

I totally agree about the crab trap gear hassle.  These little boats get crowded pretty quick and I seem to be able to whack my knuckles or rip a fingernail on almost anything remotely in the way of paddling.  So I have cut back to just 1 trap, bait it & set it all up before I go out and place it first thing.  Everything's out of the way then for the day's fishing or diving fun.  Pick it up on the way back and sort through your catch.  Toss any uneaten bait unless you have a pet buzzard at home.

I am a novice at trapping so I always try to ask someone knowledgable about where and how deep to drop the trap.  (BTW, a good idea to mark the location on your GPS).  Most of the time I get good advice and there's nothing like fresh crab to share.

Tight lines & loose women...

My 2 cents, I find it it is pretty tough to do both, fishing and monitoring crab traps. It's either one, or the other. I enjoy it more that way, whichever I choose to do.
BTW, thanks for the Albion report. I was at Russian Gulch on Sunday and did okay. We thought about doing Albion, but RG was closer.
Nice cab!

Now that's what's up! Good times with the family having a good time. Way to get out there and score. Albion is cool like that.

Most excellent Report!!!   Hell Yeah!!!

Almost losing the paddle...Damn Dude... I found a small half of a paddle @ blue lake last yr...I keep it stowed in my front hatch, hope i never have to scramble for it...way to keep it cool and snag that puppy back with your rod...

Now I'm really stoked for nxt weekend...didn't fish no last yr...but nice intel...thx bro...

Did u get any crab off the dock...all I got were just a smidge under last yr...not one keeper!!!  But it was soooo much fun trying...sounded like u had a blast...

Man u always have a good time....WTG

what kind of pots u got...if there the netted kind, I might pickone up from u...got the square metal ones...dont like....I here the netted rule....

Thanks for the report and lots of pics....

Ps...  did u use that octo for bait???

Great report and pics! I have not camped on the beach yet. What does UNI taste like? I love sushi, all kinds but not sure if I've tried it. 

BTW, has anybody ever caught a big Octopus from a yak?

Sledge,

got like a 100 crab off the dock, but only 2 keepers...

I was told the last day to drop the nets back by the commercial dock, the old guy who told me got a bunch there...

Yup, always trying to have fun!

Yeah i got the netted kind, the small fold ups! From the dock I used the ring... yeah, i think im selling the yak crab traps...

The octo was wierd, he was just on those rocks by the commercial dock?? he look half digested?? he was barely moving, kind of felt bad for old boy, but he looked have digested as i said...

Snapperhead,

The uni is sweet, very tastey on some good bread!
