Junekyoung, this is a great article about crabbing in Oregon. You can go anytime of year, but September to November is the best season (although the weather may be rainy). Kelly’s Marina is a great place to go crabbing.

Crabbing is one of the most unique and delicious experiences on the Oregon coast! We didn't realize until we moved to Portland how popular it was here. During our road trip down the entire 363 miles of Oregon Coast, we got our first taste of it, figuratively and literally!

CRABBING IN OREGON CONTENT MENU

OUR EXPERIENCE AT KELLY'S BRIGHTON MARINA

We stopped by Kelly's Brighton Marina in Nehalem Bay but ended up getting stormy weather. Esther thought she was getting blown away. Even with that, Kelly showed us the basics of crabbing and we threw a couple of pots off the dock. His enthusiasm was definitely contagious. We didn't have much luck with the turbulent weather, but still got a chance to taste some crab... and we were hooked!

A couple of weeks ago, we had a couple of friends in town who asked us where to get the best seafood, and we immediately thought of Kelly's. They were flying out later the next day, but we decided to wake at the cracka dawn and drive out to Nehalem Bay. It was an unplanned part of their Portland trip, but they said it ended up being the highlight.

The bay looked like a totally different place. The water was calm and the skies were blue. It was still really early in the season, but we didn't let that stop us. We got out on the water and after lots of laughs, some pinches, and pulling up pots, we got a keeper!

After heading back to the dock, we picked out a few other crabs to buy, ordered some fresh oysters, and they prepped all the food for us. I can't even begin to describe how delicious the food is, but I'll try my best. First off, Esther is not a fan of seafood and never likes opening up her own crab, but when the crabs hit the table, she attacks them like it's her favorite food. Secondly, we're so conditioned to drench our crab in butter. That's because most places don't serve very good crab. The way they prep the crabs at Kelly's requires nothing else. The meat is so juicy and delicious!

Besides crabbing, this is a great spot for fishing, camping, or just enjoying the bay. Even if you're not into catching your own crab or fish, you can treat yourself to the freshest seafood in Oregon. They have an amazing selection and cook it just the way you like it.

WHEN TO GO CRABBING IN OREGON

Crabbing is legal and open in bays, beaches, tide pools, piers, and jetties year-round on the Oregon coast. With that being said, September through November is usually the best time to crab. You'll also have come luck late summer and early winter. If you go anytime of year, it's hard to find crabs large enough to keep.

In regards to time of day, the best times will be during slack water, or at the peak high or low tide. Dungeness crabs move between Oregon's bays and the ocean so the tide really affects their movement. Crabs like calmer water since they have less of a current to fight during those high or low tides so it's easier for them to forage.

During the summer months, you may find soft shell / underdeveloped crabs, and releasing them is highly recommended. Soft shell crabs only have 10-12% quality meat versus hard shell will have closer to 20%.

You can also crab recreationally in the ocean off Oregon, but it requires larger boats and more experience. Crabbing in the ocean is CLOSED for Dungeness crab from October 16 to November 30.

Quality crabs come during the fall. They are filled out and have more quality meat.

Commercial crabbing starts in December. Even though it's offshore, they pick up so many crabs that the number of legal-sized crabs everywhere decreases significantly.

If there has been a lot of rain, it will affect the salinity in common crabbing areas. Crabs love salty water, so if there is a lot of fresh water, they stay closer to the ocean.

RULES AND REGULATIONS

Oregon requires a shellfish license that is different from an angling (fishing) license. This license is needed if you want to harvest crabs, clams, or other shellfish. Most fishing and crabbing businesses will also sell licenses. Once you have the license, it's good for one year.

As for limits, most of the time you're looking for Dungeness crab. It's the largest and tastiest! The daily limit is 12 males that are at least 5 ¾" inches across the crab's back. Measure in front of the spines (the two spikes on the side of the crab). The second most popular on the coast are red rock crabs, which you can catch 24 of in any size each day.

HOW TO GO CRABBING IN OREGON

Crabbing is pretty straight forward. I can't speak for all the crabbing spots, but Kelly's Brighton Marina does a great job of walking you through all the steps. They teach you about all of the gear you'll be using and give you tips on how to make the most of your time on the water.

People use all kinds of bait: turkey, chicken, mink, fish carcass, shad, clams, and more. At Kelly's they already bait the gear with fish carcass for you.

Pro Tip: Seals, sea lions, and other fish may try to steal attractive bait. A bait bag is a good way to avoid the problem. You can also use bait they don't normally eat, like turkey, or avoid areas where they are prevalent.
Step 1: Bait Your Gear
Start setting your rings where you hope to find crab. Space them out so that you aren't competing against your own pots. Allow approximately 15 minutes before pulling them up, and if you can really get into a groove, you should be able to continuously check them.

Pro Tip: Don't just see what you're catching. Pay attention to other crabbers. If you see there is action in one spot, move one of your rings over there.
Step 2: Drop Your Rings
Once they've been in the water long enough, it's time to pull them up. We had one person driving the boat while the others were ready to grab the buoys as we slowly passed them. Once you have the buoy, get rid of the slack and try to position the boat just to the side of the rings. When you start pulling it up, pull quickly so crabs can't escape as it's rising (use those legs of yours!).

Pro Tip: Once you get proficient at it, you should be able to start moving the boat towards the next ring before you finish the current one.
Step 3: Retrieve Your Rings
Once the rings are back at the boat, quickly sort through the crabs. You're only allowed to keep males, so that's the first filter. If it is male, you then have to measure the crab to ensure that it is at least 5 ¾" inches across the back (NOT including the spines).

Pro Tip: This is the fun part and at first, you'll want to touch every crab. Eventually, you'll get the hang of it and can eyeball each ring by shaking it around. Pull out the ones you think are big enough and check it they are male. Leave the others in the ring and drop it back in the water so you can move on. The crabs will scatter when the ring hits the floor so you don't have to worry about them eating all your bait.

Pro Tip #2: Beware of the small crabs. They have less area for their pinchers to reach over. One of us got pinched. I'll let you guess who.

Step 5: Store Your Keepers
Store your spoils in a cooler with ice or ice packs. You can also keep them in a cooler or bucket with water (you'll have to change the water regularly to keep the water cool and oxygenated).
Step 4: Sort the Crab
Pro Tip: If you're crabbing at Kelly's, do yourself a huge favor and let them cook up some of your crabs. They do such an amazing job showing you how to efficiently take apart a crab to eat and they are soooo delicious!

Crabbing Checklist

Make sure you have your shellfish license, crab measuring implement, pots or rings, cooler, bait holders and bait supply.

Check all line on crab pots or rings for kinks or knots to ensure they are durable and will allow gear to crab correctly.

Make sure all your buoys are well marked so you can distinguish them from others.

Check with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife for the most current shellfish regulations and harvest notices before you head out!

Pro Tips for Your Visit + What to Pack

Bring some gloves to avoid rope burn.

Bring a sweater or layers. The weather on the coast and Portland can be very different. If you forget, they also sell some hoodies at Kelly's.

Sun Protection! Bring sunglasses, a sunhat, and sunscreen. Still water can reflect up to 10% of the UV rays.

Bring some clothes you don't mind getting wet. Jacob wore waterproof pants and a rain jacket. You can also bring an extra change of clothes for your ride back home.

Wear close-toed shoes (not flip flops like me) unless you're cool with crabs pinching your toes.

The Columbia River Gorge separates the states of Oregon and Washington. The word gorge is another name for a canyon. It is a deep valley between hills or mountains. A gorge usually has high walls and a river running through it.

The Columbia River Gorge is 4,000 feet deep in some places. It is 80 miles long. It starts at the Deschutes River in the east. It ends near Portland in the west. There is a road on each side of the river. There is also a railroad on one side.

It is very windy in the Gorge. Winds are often 35 miles per hour. In the summer, people like to go windsurfing near the city of Hood River. ( Windsurfing uses a surfboard and a sail.) It's also a good place to fly a kite. In the winter, there are many snow storms and ice storms. Sometimes roads in the Columbia River Gorge are closed because travel is dangerous.

One special place is called Crown Point. It is a small park about 15 miles from Portland. An old road climbs to 733 feet above the river. Visitors can see miles up and down the river.

Another important place is called the Bridge of the Gods. Long ago, falling rocks made a natural dam in the Columbia River. Humans crossed the river on the rocks. Later, the river washed away the rocks. Native Americans tell many stories about this place. They say that the gods destroyed the rock bridge because humans fought. Today, the rocks in the river are the Cascades Rapids. This is a dangerous part of the river for boats.

People in Oregon love to do things outside. Write 3 or 4 sentences. Say what you like to do outside.

The Columbia River Gorge was designated a National Scenic Area - the largest in America - for good reason.

You'd be hard-pressed to find vistas as stunning as these. At the western end of the Gorge, the view from Crown Point is a front-row seat to the mighty Columbia as its unfurls and cuts through the Cascade mountains. From there dozens of awe-inspiring waterfalls spill from basalt cliffs, lining the Historic Columbia River Highway, like the famous Multnomah, Bridal Veil and Latourell falls. The landscape seems to grow bigger, grander and brighter as it rolls east.

Bring your sense of adventure because the Gorge is made for exploring. Walk along a waterfront, discover hidden waterfalls, follow the wildflowers at Rowena Crest or challenge yourself with a trek up Dog Mountain. Cycle the roads around The Dalles or in the Post Canyon mountain bike network. And it's hard to resist water sports on the Columbia, especially when Hood River is known as the windsurfing capital of the world.

But the Columbia River Gorge isn't just spectacular scenery. There's plenty of hand-crafted beer and farm-fresh dining too. Thanks to its unique geography, the Gorge boasts a world of wine - from pinot noir and chardonnay in the cool western hills, to tempranillo and syrah in the drier, sunnier east.

See the Columbia River Gorge for yourself, and then you'll understand all the hype.

Traveler Alert:
Some areas of the Columbia River Gorge were impacted by the Eagle Creek fire of 2017. Before you head out, learn more about what's open and closed on the Historic Columbia River Highway and check with USFS for the most up-to-date information on trail closures.
