Still not sure if my schedule will allow, but if I go early enough, might be able to go. I am considering an early morning (like 7:30ish) paddle for crabs either Wednesday 11/9 or Thursday 11/10 out of Trinidad - conditions permitting.
Anyone planning on going out either of those days?

Sam and I both lamented we didn't have our dive gear this morning - it could have been a grand slam (crab, ling, rockfish, cab or ab) on a trifecta day (calm/sun/good vis).

We paddled out near the red can and within an hour of crabbing, both of us had limits of 6 1/4" or larger crab.  Fun being a 'crab snob' and only keeping the big ones :)  In my catch, two were just shy of 7", one over 7". 

I may join Cajun/Greg on Saturday at 9am for crabbing our of Trinidad

Sounds like a great day!  :smt001 I am there already and will be thinking about it at work all day! How deep is that 60ft?

I had so much fun OTW, forgot to take photos.  I am hoping Sam will share his GoPro video with me. Here is the only photo I took related to that outing.  :smt003
