Crabbing is still off the charts with limits on every trip. As you may have heard the commercial crab fishery has been postponed until December 15th. So you know, this has no effect on the recreational/sport crabbing that we do. We still get to crab while the commercial boats have to wait for approval from CA Fish & Wildlife.  Also so you know, we do not condone what CAFW has done to our commercial crabbing colleagues. We feel it is wrong to lead the commercial people on as if there were no delays then eight hours before the official commercial season opener, place an immediate halt to commercial crabbing. I find it unfair and unacceptable that CAFW, sitting at their desks, can toy with peoples livelihoods without any consequences for their mistakes. This commercial closure, as was last year’s premature closure, was avoidable and caused by CAFW because they failed to do their job. CAFW will still get their paychecks while the families of the crabbers receive nothing. Many hardworking families will suffer needlessly.
