Just remember that it opens 4th of July weekend and closes after labor day for all the "southern" Puget Sound areas. On a positive note, I spoke with a checker at Shilshole today and they believe that the recreational harvest in areas 8-1, 8-2 and 11 were low enough to merit opening up for the winter season. Unfortunately areas, 9 and 10 got hammered hard and will most likely be closed to recreational harvest until next summer.

Yeah, short run, warm house, a fire and a hot drink of choice.

Were going Saturday for our last crabbing of the season. If I get a few I'll be happy.
