White Rock Crabbing Paddle (2B)

When: June 4, 2022 from 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM



Trip Overview: We will be kayaking from White Rock West Beach to set traps for Dungeness crabs in Boundary Bay. We’ll work on rigging, paddle out and set the traps, head to White Rock Pier and East Beach, have lunch, then retrieve the traps.

You’ll learn how to deal with the traps and crabs safely in a kayak. Dust off your old crab trap and bring your accessories. We’ll provide bait and help you get rigged up. Let us know in the signup form comments if you plan on getting a saltwater fishing license. ($23 for the year). We’ll want at least a few for the group as the limit is 4 crabs per license. We’ll clean and cook the crabs at the Jensens’ house nearby for an afternoon feast.
