Crabbing is a Pacific Northwest pastime.


We gave it a shot late last year, heading out onto Nehalem Bay for a video shoot with an expert from Kelly’s Brighton Marina.


And this week on the Peak Northwest podcast, the marina’s owner, Colin Davis, joins us for a discussion about how to go Dungeness crabbing for the first time.


Some highlights:

  • Jim references his crabbing trip on Nehalem Bay.
  • Colin breaks down the basics about crabbing.
  • We talk about what first-timers should know before heading out.
  • We discuss crabbing regulations.
  • Colin lets us in on the best time of year to go crabbing.
  • He fills us in on the different experiences of crabbing from a boat or dock.
