WDFW will run initial estimates of the 2011 Summer Recreational Crab Harvest on September 20. Those numbers will then be relied on in determining whether ample crab are left in each marine area for a Winter Recreational Season, and in some cases, for and a Non-Tribal Commercial Season. Returning your Crab Catch Record Card or entering it on the internet PRIOR TO SEPTEMBER 20 will help ensure Winter Recreational Seasons. It will also save you a $10 fine, per CRC. An added advantage of entering on-line is, you get a confirmation number that you can print as proof of timely compliance. Please return your card or report your catch soon, regardless of whether you caught crab.
