it was a little too blustery to fish for sand dabs, so we ended up pulling pots.

we pulled 10-12 pots for an easy limit of crab for 7 passengers and 2 crew.

Good job Alan. I'm sure you made the family happy.
I love Dungeness Crab.
It used to be avaiilable here, but I haven't seen it for a while.
Very Meaty and Delicious.The Shells aren't as tough as King or Snow.
I miss them so.
Your Dad looks Very Happy with those Chopsticks at the ready. ;D
Good to see there are still enough crabs to fill the boat, since commercial crabbing has been open since the AT 11 th annual trip...Bill
I am jealous. I have had king crab, snow crab, hairy crab, blue crab, stone crab, and Dungeness is the best!
Thanks for the pics Alan, good memories, nice to see you took some to your parents, cheers Don.
