Out on the water by 0515, pretty windy & choppy, & overcast. Trolled over to Richmond Beach to drop off crab pots, graphing fish, but no takers. Wanted to go to Possesion, but again, too windy/choppy so we stayed within the vicinity, as far north as Mukilteo. Check 1 pot about 1130, 2 small ones, of course released. Decided to fish another 1 1/2 hours, 1 nice hit, but lost it. Fish checker came by from Richmond Beach, alot of boats, but not many fish, we got skunked!! Brother and I decided to come bacl later in the evening to check the pots. Got out by 2030 and from a distance, saw someone throwing our buoy back in, when he saw us, he took off, too far away to get a good description of type of boat. Smaller boat, 1 man, totally sucks,..what would you do? Go after him? The mentality of people,...

Call the police while you chase his ass down. Poaching is poaching, how much you wanna bet he didnt throw the females back? What a jackass

I usually carry a bazooka in my boat... It's a quick problem solver.

Sorry to hear that. It really pisses you off when this crabbing/fishing stuff is so enjoyed in our lives, and then you see that.
I am curious if your pots are set fairly by themselves without much around them? Of course we want to drop pots a little out of common areas, but I admit I feel my property is safer on 24 hour soaks, when there are a large amount of other pots in the area.

Did not want to have a high speed chase in open water, I think I would have, but it's my brother's boat. There also were a couple of pots around, but earlier there was plenty. Besides no salmon, (of any kind) but also no crabs,...need to carry binoculars when we go out,...he headed south, Shilshoe? Who knows,...
