Launched my jon boat out of Charleston at about 10 AM after the 2-1/2 hour drive from Eugene.
Dropped our 6 traps along the north side up river from the cribs in about 25' or less. Chicken for bait.
This time I tried to keep our soak time shorter between pulls. so about 1/2 hour or so of fooling around jigging for Rock fish around the structure places close by.
Only boated one Black rockfish about 2 lbs. My partner broke his knot on what seemed to be a fair sized ling cod.
Anyway, we did get 24 legal Dungeness along with maybe 8 large Red crabs over about 4 hours on the water.
Lots and lots of females and shorts including those shorts that were just barely (Less than 1/8'') shy of legal
All in all, I'd say we had a good days outing and great meal of fresh crab when I got home.
Now for the crab Étouffée over rice I love so much.
