How do you catch those? Traps?

You're a lucky man living in one of the most beautiful unspoiled places on earth!

I feel very lucky especially when we have such great weather, 80, sunny and calm.

We fish them with pots in the summer since they are at 300-400 feet deep and scuba dive in the winter. I found them in about 5-10 feet of water last winter.

That's awesome. A lot different than the blue crabs I go for

That's outstanding. Congrats. Would love to dive up in Alaska. Going to Sitka next week to fish. Cheers, Kadman

Sitka is a great place to go fishing. I'm sure you will find some nice halibut, kings and silvers this time of year.

So how many of those does it take to fill a big, hungry man, 1? 2? LOL.

I can eat about 1/2 of a crab in one to one full crab in a sitting. it really depends on how full and how big they are.

I'm going to Alaska next week on a cruise, including a stop in Juneau. I wanted to do a cruise and land trip with fishing on the second part, but family obligations. I get to sneak 4 hours of fly fishing in while in port at Ketchikan.

Should be a great trip Ketchikan has some great fishing. The silvers should be running strong, they are doing very well here in Juneau with shore fishing. I understand the tight time tables of the cruise ships only so much time in port each day. Good luck and Enjoy your cruise. Definitely pack a rain coat. If I wasn't so busy with my real job I'd offer to take you out while your here in Juneau
