We started our trip north with a couple days of crabbing and visiting friends at their place on Mosquito Pass, San Juan Island.

We just returned from Fisherman Bay, on Lopez, and we managed to only get 2 crab. There were not even smaller ones, or females. A few people did okay, but overall it seems to not be as good as in the past.
