The crabbing has been fair. Still lots of fresh water in the bay. It has been good me for east of the OSU docks. Hour before and after slack. Chicken or turkey works good.

The Alsea has been productive. Had some friend go during the week and limited both days with some big crab. :smile: Never heard about much this weekend. I know Newport has been a little slow. We always use turkey.

Have fun!

definitely slack tide. there is a lot of big tide exchanges this week, we went last night and got 15 out of four traps on one set of pulls. soon as it started to rip it went dead- nothing on the next two pulls. did get a limit of clam though.
