The New Captain Pete is under new ownership as Captain Melynda Dodds of California Guide Service has obtained the vessel, but Captain Michael Cabanas will continue to run the boat during crab season on crab-only trips. Limits of quality Dungeness crab remain the rule, and hoop nets are doing the job with the New Captain Pete scoring a combined 35 limits of Dungeness on their last two trips. The Ankeny Street went on a crab-only for 7 limits of crab over the weekend. Crab-only trips have been the story as the ability to run to deep water more than 50 fathoms requires not only the weather, but enough customers to make the trip a go. Fish and Game wardens have been enforcing size, bag limit, and number of rods in the water with citations. Off of the pier and the surrounding beaches, crab snares work best.
