PM to Yella

Mr. Yella,

You need to go get a few things taken care of, sir. Go get yourself an annual WDFW combo fresh/salt water fishing license. If you have any intention of fishing the Klickitat later this summer, you'll need the lower Columbia endorsement. Get the Puget Sound crab endorsement. Get a catch record for salmon, steelhead and summer crab. No need for the two-rod endorsement.

The Wynoochee opens June 1, and you might just hook a summer run on that goofy fuckin' fly gear you prefer. Plus, crab. When you've outkicked your coverage like you have at home, bringing home a bucket full of fresh Dungeness crab will shore up your status as the hunter/gatherer/provider that every gal looks for in a man. Crabbing starts up in July.

Oh, and we still need to hit up puppylove_sugarsteel and fish his Skykomish zone and drink his liquor.

So get prepared, broheim. It's about time to go kill some shit and eat it.

On it. Fresh Dungeness and Chardonnay that drinks like Sauvignon Blanc is the greatest panty dropper in the history of the human species.

Indeed. Dungeness crab just embarrasses other crab. Don't get me wrong, I like a big chunk of King crab or some blue crab, too, but neither one of them is getting in the ring with Dungeness crab and coming out the winner.

Plus, you get to go fuck off in a boat. Can't beat it.

I never wish I lived in Washington State except to go on these fishing excursions with you two. That sounds gay.

How's the fishing in November?

In my spirit world there's going to be a kick ass HH guns, fishing and clam bake rendezvous.

It gets way less gay when you're catching fish. But shoot - haul your ass out here in October or November and I'll put you two in the front of my drift boat and we'll go do a salmon and razor clam combo trip. Fish the Humptulips, kill fish, go to one of the Copalis beaches and get a limit of clams. Just gotta spring Yella loose from the city.

I’m gonna need to get some of your hillbilly fishing gear or, at least, one of those center pin rigs @MisterEm has been evangelizing to me about.

All the cool kids are using center pins these days.

I stick with the hillbilly gear cause it's simple and it works.

This sounds like a great way for us all to somehow end up in jail. I like it!

I keep writing them with this suggestion but nobody ever gets back with me.

I'm an equal opportunity molester of chrome. Been centerpinning since the late 90s. Learned it in BC on the Fraser and AK on the Nushagak.

We will K11 wrapped plugs into the swing hole. Then get out, wader up and beat the rifle with the Canadian float rig.

Holy fuck I hate fishing

Ain’t no crystal light and vodka on the river. Just whiskey and cheap beer.

Rifle or riffle?

Did you get this taken care of yet, Yella? The sound is full of coho right now - I bet you could rustle up a few fishing the beaches with your fly rod. They're little fuckers, but man they taste good.

Crab is on the menu now, too. I'll holler at you when we're going on a crab run.

Getting my season license after this weekend. Sounds like the Sky isn't fishing good yet for summers. Can't wait to catch crabs with you.

For out-of-conference competition, would you put up the Dungeness for some Stone Crab and let them go mano a mano, or claw on claw?

dflea

Stone crabs look like red rock crabs to me, but I can't recall ever eating a stone crab. Rock crabs taste fine, but are a gigantic pain in the ass to eat. Their shells are harder than concrete and one missed chunk of shell could easily lead to a broken tooth. Teeth aren't easy to come by in Shelton, so I like to keep mine intact.

I put Dungeness crab at the top of the list, king crab next by virtue of their size, and then all other crabs can get to the back of the fucking bus.

We're going out to soak pots on Friday and might drop a couple rings, too. The tide is shit, but I'm jonesing real bad for crab, so we're going to work around the shitty tide.

I was going to binge watch movies from everyone's top 10 list, but crabbing needs to be given priority until I have inventory.

I haven't had stone crab in forever, so I won't pretend to be able to ref this one.

Next time I'm in Miami I will make a point of going to Joe's Stone Crab and will report back.
