2017 Dungeness Crab Season Opener
The 2017 Dungeness Crab Season is almost upon us and many kayak anglers are waiting in anticipation for the opener in early November. Last year’s crabbing season was a bust due to the Domonic acid situation, and when the season was clear, it was still a bust because the crabs were small and soft.
This year the 2017 Dungeness Crab Season starts off with a few regulations changes. It is mix bag for me, but overall the regulations are positive, and reflect needed changes to the law. For example, the requirement to attach a GO ID number to every crab float, i find to be a good change.
“The GO ID number is the unique, 10-digit identifier assigned by the Automated License Data System to your profile. This number will appear on all documents purchased through CDFW (for example, your fishing license).”
“This regulation will help to ensure that crab traps are being used by the designated operator of the trap in order to prevent others from unlawfully disturbing or removing crab from crab traps.”
In laymen’s term — catch crab thieves, which… if enforced, i fully endorse. Let the thieves eat their stolen crabs and a $10,000 dollar fine with it. I’m sure it won’t taste as good.
