Made a quick stop with the new flyrod at Luhr Beach. 1 cutthroat about 11 to 12 inches released.
A recent storm destroyed the pier there.

For the last 3 years crabbing in the Reach has sucked. Small young crabs, females, no legal males. I guess the sea lions target them too. :)

If there was a "0" star this would get it. Every pot had large female dungies. No rock crab and no male dungies. The tribes must have gotten all the crab from this area.
