Title: ~~~Randog Has Crabs~~~
Post by: Randog on May 22, 2005, 08:20:38 AM

  Thought you'd look

  So the Randog Clan headed out for an afternoon of crabbing at Mrs. Randogs request. We were on the water by 12:00 noon and had the 3 crab traps baited and down by 12:30. We headed out for a little sight seeing and a snack and visited a friend who has a cabin on the water up Indian Arm.

  We  returned to the traps by 3:30 to find 2 of the traps loaded with lots of crabs, we kept 8 "Keepers" and released the rest. The third trap was empty, don't know why, we used the same bait and set it within 75 yard of the others???? Anyways, a big crab/prawn seafood feast was had last night.

Fished some holes in the lower river, with some eluachons but only a few biters that wouldn't commit. The rivers is just raging right now, saw some HUGE trees flowin' along. So we pulled up to the dock at the Gillnetter pub for the Sunday brunch. WOW all you can eat for $8.95 what a screamin' deal.

  After lunch we sounded out a sweet honey hole with lots of sturg. showing, so my buddy said "lets try in for 10 mins" we set anchor, baited the rods and casted them out for around 3 min. then my cell phone rang with Mrs. Randog on the other end telling me to get my butt (she used another term) home NOW :o! So knowing better, it was off to the boat launch and back home. Thats ok, those sturgeon will be there tomorrow ;D
