Colors of commercial crabbing

Published January 23, 2012 / by Steve Berentson

There’s a reason for these eye-popping colors. A commercial crab pot is like a “needle in a haystack” without the visual aid these floats provide one they’ve been planted in area waters. This trailer of pots was located at the entrance to historic Curtis Wharf on the Guemes Channel.

About Steve Berentson
A fourth generation Skagit County native who was moved kicking and screaming from this island community in 1960. I finally reclaimed an Anacortes address in 1980, and I have been in constant celebration of my return since that time. Many of us who call Anacortes home love Fidalgo Island for its natural assets: among them are rugged beaches, pristine lakes, thousands of acres of forestland and some awesome views of the Skagit Valley and surrounding islands. Another element of my love affair with this community is its people, both natives and immigrants. They will “star” in many of my journal entries.
