July 14th we explored the area and located a fishing guide, Ron. Fishing didn't go well, but Ron was good company, extremely informative, and the crab traps were very productive. Ken is waiting for the action to begin as we move into the harbor. Heading back after minimal fishing luck, Ken helps pull up the crab traps set out on our trip out. The crabs traps were successful and Ron's culling and cleaning skills were remarkable. They were not the long legged Alaskan variety, but their bodies were as large as your head. The tradition is to boil the crabs immediately on returning to shore. Ron had his set-up ready and when we reached his house, you can see in the last photo, the deep cooker on the left while Ron and Ken keep watch. We left some of the crabs with Ron who routinely shared them with friends and neighbors who didn't have the opportunity to get fresh crab. We feasted on excellent, truly fresh crab and almost had more than we could eat. .
