You don't just sit and wait, you watch the people (there are a lot of people to talk to too!), watch the seals (the one in the first picture is doing the back float--click on the picture for a close up), and when about 15 minutes have passed you pull up your trap full of crawly, pinchy crabs. Toss the little ones and the females back into the water, and measure up the big guys (they are all more than 6"). Actually, in Oregon, they have to be larger than 5 3/4 inch (use the green crab measuring tool). Mitch has made some wonderful crab cakes and crab stuffed mushrooms. He's still experimenting. We also bought five kinds of local mushrooms from a little farm/flea market at the wharf and Mitch made mushroom soup to die for.
