@wild_weathered_an: November 7 is on the calendar. Mentally, I’m already on the boat. My gear, however, is still wherever I left it last season. California’s recreational Dungeness season is scheduled to open November 7. A few reminders before we all suddenly become crab experts: • 10-crab daily bag and possession limit. Catching 10 is a separate problem. • Minimum size is 5¾ inches, excluding the side spines. “Looks big enough” is not a measurement. • Crab traps require a recreational crab trap validation. Hoop nets and crab snares don’t. Check wildlife.ca.gov/crab for local closures, health advisories and whale-related trap restrictions before heading out. A calendar date doesn’t mean every spot or every type of gear is cleared. Who’s going opening day? And who’s still untangling gear from last year?#DungenessCrab #CrabSeason #CaliforniaFishing #Crabbing #WildWeatheredAndHooked
