Crabbing in Yaquina Bay, Oh boy I repeated to myself when I entered the new information on the crabbing report for Yaquina Bay of twelve crabs per crabber for four crabbers. I loaded up my stuff and hit JC Market for some chicken legs and headed for the crabbing dock. It was a dream come true when I pulled my first crab trap: one legal sized Dungeness crab. Boy oh boy my body quit hurting as the adrenalin rush chased the pain away.
Well there was a young lady crabbing and her catch was a little on the skinny side, but by the time I had finished crabbing she had caught enough crab for her and her husband to enjoy a great Crab Louis.
I was able to clean the six crabs in three minutes using Zach's method from the Big Spruce in Netarts Bay. `
