Armed with crab bait, and with a short break in the liquid sunshine, we dropped down to Netarts bay for some fun.
As usual, several boats were working the mouth of the bay.

There were also alot of bankies fishing, too.
It was easy to find a slot, and start slinging our snares.

Some went solo, others stayed together.
Very pretty out, with cool, dark lighting.

Obviously people have been successful in finding crab lately.
If you can't crab, it is fun to beachcomb, too.

We ended up with two nice big crab. We had a great time and caught lots of small males and big females, of course.

In fact, it was so much fun that a rainy ride in the back of the truck was good, too!
