crabbing this weekend

sportster · 12-17-2002, 06:03 PM

thinking of going crabbing this weekend out of chinook,and was wondering if it would be any good with com.guys out there.the last time we went out on dec. 1st and got 60 for two days.

As of this morning the commercial guys were not yet out except for a few doing "sport crabbing" with 20-30 pots. They could settle at any time as the weather improves. You will have trouble finding a place to put your pots after they go out.

U-4-A,

The Hammond ramp is still closed, I was told this past weekend that it would be open some time in Jan. 03

Thanks for suggesting Chinook rather than Warrenton. I'll have to give it a try.
