Going deep for dungies

[Redfisher]

what is better eating.....dungy or the tanner crab?

Dungy in my opinion by a mile. I find Tanner somewhat bland. Used to eat lots when I trap fished black cod.

Pots sitting in 330' on a muddy bottom. Will report back in a few hours.

Struck out on crab. Gonna keep trying though. Got 2 weeks to find a spot......... you think I should find one. Did ok on prawns. 4 hour soak.

So here I am in pender harbor. The orange spots are where I pegged to try deep crabbing. Any input? This screen shot is just outside the harbor. Best lead gets a box of beer, delivered or shipped. Inside the the harbor is limited to ring nets which is the kids n dinghy duty.

In future we'll all be going deeper & deeper for Crab the ugly nasty little ***** known as Sea Otters will see to that ask anyone where they're moving in like Quatsino Sound.

This is the kind of muddy bowl i would look at. When i get home i will do a bit more looking, but this looks like where you want to be for tanners. What type of trap you using?

Not set up for tanners, but if dungies don't produce at all, a modification in my dungee trap will be happening this week. Thanks for your help!

Look for the muddy bowls. Use fresh bait and work your way up the shallow incline. You will find them

We don't see near as many sea otters like we did 10-15 years ago in Quatsino sound. Nothing to see 30+ everyday from Quatsino to light house every day black then. Now we only see a few on the way out each day.

I haven't crabbed deep in that area so I can't speak from experience there but from looking at a chart for mud spots there's a few in the area you are in:
