My buddy and I launched Mukilteo around 9 to go throw a few crab pots by the oil docks and goof around for a bit. While we were motoring back from hat island towards Edmonds to try fishing, we found a white flasher floating in the water. I turned around and had my buddy pick it up. When he pulled it up there was still a pink attached to the leader! Not only did we get a new flasher and squid, but a nice pink too! That got us excited so we went towards the shipwreck trolling at about 200 feet. About 15 minutes in I got a hit and pulled in a nice large pink. Then I got sea sick from all the boats speeding by all the trollers and we headed to pick up our pots. We only got 4 crabs to keep. It seems like most of the males have been picked up already in that area. We packed up and headed home. The meat in those pinks was nice and red, not pale like the two from last week.

odd to see nice meat like that on a pink. but, a nice surprise. it was probably edible, at that rate. have been seeing pics of very small pinks. buddy got some in a local river, and all he landed, and released, as well as fish he saw, were like 17" long. lol. i am glad to see some larger ones. pinks are runts as it is. let alone being undersized. good job!

I was crabbing yesterday at Hat too. 30 crabs per pot and a total of 5 keepers out of two pots. I agree, slim in that area now.

the doc- Thanks! Unfortunately it is just a disgusting smoothie my wife tries to make me drink in that glass. I was surprised to see that nice meat too. It was great baked.
cobrar543 - I need to find a better spot for crabbing. I noticed Hat island was surrounded by kelp. That was my first time over there.
