OVERVIEW

Go crabbing in a cove teeming with Dungeness Crab and enjoy the gorgeous scenery while cruising along the coast. You will cruise north from Salmon Falls Resort onboard the Commander, the resort’s largest and most comfortable vessel. Along the way, you will gaze out over a coastline that is largely undeveloped, densely forested and sheltered by islands in many areas. The scenery will leave a lasting memory as will crabbing in Traitors Cove. The captain will show you how to bait and drop the crab pots so that they rest on the bottom of the cove. While waiting for the crabs to take the bait – which may take an hour or so – you can drop a line and try to catch rockfish. Once you pull up the crab pots, the captain will identify the creatures inside.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Cruise along the beautiful coastline north of Ketchikan.
• Drop crab pots in Traitors Cove, a large, sheltered waterway teeming with crabs.
• Fish from the boat while waiting for the crabs to take the bait.
• Behold the different species in the crab pots once they’re pulled up.

HELPFUL HINTS

• Dress in weather-appropriate clothing.
• Wear flat comfortable walking shoes.
