Salmon fishing has been slow, but the bite should commence sometime this month. Crabbing is also toning down. Surfperch fishing is on the rise again and is very successful when you're in the fish.
Today, the crabbing could have been better, but the crabs that came in surprised me. There were crabs brought in with traps, but the majority of them were brought in with a contraption like this one.

Crab snares are attached to a fishing line and left on the bottom while the bait (hopefully) attracts some takers. When the line is jerked, the loops close around a crab's limbs and is brought up to the pier. The boathouse has two main types: the cheap China-made and the more high-end expensive variant.
