crab theives
Today , my friend and I fished from 7 to noon at Otter Pt. I don't see many boat caught big springs. we caught a hatchery feeder spring about 7-8 lbs, a hatchery coho and two pink. We released 3 feeder spring about 4-5 lbs.
We enjoyed the day . it was so nice sunny and clam sea!
yes fishing has been great,,hope everyone is getting their limitts,,,i have had 2 large commercial traps in sooke basin,wifnspit area,,i have had them there for about 6 weeks now,,it is a good spot,but starting about 4 weeks ago one of them has always been raided,,they just leave the door wide open,so no crab,,so about 3 weeks ago i put locks on my trap doors,,this worked well till today when i pulled up one trap,the a-holes had taken a hammer to one of the locks to get our crab,,this is really pissing me off,,i spend all this money in crab traps.etc.,just to have some a-holes to do this every week,,i wouldn't mind if they just rebaited the traps and put them back down again,,but oh no,,they are too stupid to do that,,next time i go out fishing i am going to take my traps out ,,too bad because i was getting crab,,but i bet you that the theives got more crab out of my traps then i did,,
