Cama Shower Tokens Retired

5/27/2015

0 Comments

 
Out with the old shower tokens and in with the new (quarters). Over the winter the iconic Cama shower tokens were retired. Now the showers run on quarters. It takes two quarters to get the shower controller "started". These two quarters get you 3 minutes of water. Each additional quarter dropped in the machine before the shower stops buys an extra 90 seconds of watery bliss.

Crab Season Opens Thurs July 2

5/25/2015

0 Comments

 
Yum yum. Recreational crab season is scheduled to begin at 6 AM on Thur Jul 2 so it’s time to check your pots to make sure they are all rigged correctly. Here are the state gear rules: http://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/shellfish/gear_rules.html.

The Snohomish County Marine Resources Committee is sharing these tips to help you catch your limit each time:

  1. Add weight to your pot (so it is less likely to be swept away by strong currents)
  2. Know if the tide is rising or falling (so you have enough line)
  3. Know the direction of the current (if your pot is swept away – you’ll know which direction to search)
  4. Use longer line (in case your pot is swept to a much deeper location by the current)
  5. Use a additional high visibility buoy (in case your pot moves or if the water gets rough)
  6. Avoid high traffic areas (so your pot isn’t snagged and towed off)
