Crab Fishin

[ChevyGuy]

Well me, my buddy and my dads friend are going in his new boat out to the water to get some crabsss. 2 Hour soaks with I think 4 pots? While they soak we will be fishing for something else, I forgot what, my dads friend was kinda mumbling the words, it was about beer thirty for him. Same thing with where we are going, couldnt understand but ill have all the details when I get back later on today and have some pictures!

I thought the sound was closed for the year for crabbing?

Right around tacoma narrows was where we were, what a day.

Got into the water, docked, boat didnt start for 3 hours, someone gave us a battery, we headed out, the swells were HUGE for out there in a 18 foot river boat, we ended up losing most of the power in the engine, we ended up having to beach it and found seewead in the prop, got power and found nice spot, set 2 soaks, 8 rock crab were keepers.

On the way back the swells were even bigger, I threw the life vest on, but we made it back, such a fun ride tho. Addrenaline (F my spelling) out there is awsome.

Yeah for the hell we went through in the ride in the boat to the spot we soaked, 8 rock crab brought home wasnt much of a pay but it was sure fun.

I saw on the news the next morning that the coast gaurd said it was to dangourous to go out in the water that day. I didnt see 1 other boat out there. Except for the ferey
