Opening day of crab season! We dropped our hoop nets on the way out to the Jurassic Park deep reef, planning to circle back later for our crab bounty. The water out at the deep reef was rough—wind, waves, and fog kept things sporty all day. Whales surrounded the boat nearly the entire time, putting on quite a show between bites. Despite the challenging conditions, we boxed up about three-quarters limits of beautiful rockcod. When we came back to pull the hoops, there were some crab waiting for us—but not quite the numbers we were hoping for. Better luck tomorrow!
