Crabbing
Log
This page
is a log of all my (plus some relative's) crabbing expeditions in
the Pacific Northwest, starting in the summer of 2006. The log contains
the dates of the trips, the locations, the types of traps used, the
deployment methods, and the number of crabs that were caught. This page doesn't
necessarily provide any concrete information, but hopefully it'll
give you a rough idea of what to expect when you go crabbing.
