Always wanted to learn how to go crabbing? Here is your chance. Edmond Duggan, our local SISKA crabbing expert will show us the ins and outs of crabbing. He will supply the traps and this weekend is 'No License' crabbing. So, you will not need a license for this paddle. All you need is a bit of bait, preferably some raw chicken bits. There will be limited paddling, but more beach time for instruction, then afterwards, hopefully a crab lunch from our catch.

Safety reminders
Always dress for the possibility of immersion and please bring a drybag containing a spare change of clothes. The drybag goes in your kayak with you, not in your car at the launch site. Please bring a lunch or snacks and sufficient beverage to keep you hydrated, as well as a thermos of something warm. Your paddle leader will introduce the plan and make sure everyone is comfortable with the requirements. Please stay off the water until the group is ready. If you have a VHF radio please bring it with you.
