Despite my plans to dive threw the winter I never found the time. I decided it had been long enough and with the minus tides we have been having I dusted off my suit and went crabbing this morning. The spot I go is a small cove that has a medium sized creek running in to it. On really low tides the crab are forced off the flats in to what is now just the creek, so all the crab I got today were in fresh water. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x"> The crab gather in the deep water of this creek in large numbers waiting for the tide to return only spending about an hour in fresh water before the tide floods again. I got these crab in that hour in water 8-10' deep. 
dungeness crab to start!
