Aluminum commercial crabbing boat with an aluminum skiff type boat with it, possibly used in seining. The big boat was 24 to 28 feet, and fully decked commercially with totes on board that they were putting the crab into. They had a couple sport pots on deck of the little boat and one commercial pot on top of the roof of the center console of the big boat. They were completely ducking as I was harrassing them, circling them, rodeoing them up while telling them what I though. Unfortunately my good phone broke on Monday so I could not get pics of em. I'm gonna start checking my pots early more often. This happened at 6, while it was barely light. I'm assuming they purchased the nice boat from a regular commercial crabber cuz I don't think the natives need WN #'s. Not sure about that though. I do know they had crab in their totes. Wonder who they are selling them to? Oneway Howard was holding on for dear life as we chased em off. The big boat was pretty nice, big covered center center console.

Thanks...I had an aluminum skiff (tribal by looks of the POS driving it) do the same to me this past winter crab season off of Edmonds. They stole one pot and probably didn't see the other.

Couldn't make out any #'s so was a lost cause for me.

I hope you nail those bastards.

I'm curious if there even is any penalty for a treaty tribal fisherman stealing crab from someone else's pot. There may not be any.

No idea about a penalty but fish and wildlife claimed to be very interested in this, so much so they've called back twice. And I'm pretty sure they thought we were crazy.

They probably called you back twice trying to decide what to charge you with for harassing those poor tribal members.

Hopefully they get the book thrown at them.....

These a-holes have been out raiding in the early morning fog. Camano residents have seen that particular boat doing this before. Boy are they in trouble now! Wdfw and tribal fisheries will probably fine em a whole $50!! That's the problem right there! Time for vigilante justice. Wrist rockets with 6oz. balls to the hull from shore in the fog from now on! Warning! People crabbing to the south of edmonds marina have been getting pots raided and stolen.

No, They just play? dumb, ignorant and get a slap from tribal enforcement. Wdfw enforcement has no jurisdiction on tribal members. I wouldn't risk repercussions.

Let me paint a more complete picture. Todd and Richard and I meet at first light. The water in the harbor is calm, we go around the break and the chop is significant. We were just cruising comfortably along, until Richard spots the boats. Then sees them take off, we go to full throttle. He is yelling at them from a mile out. Heads them off, we are riding the V of the boat wakes at screaming fast speed. At that point I was wishing I was wearing a life jacket. There was not a chance in hell of taking photos. it was holding on with both hands and bracing. We drove circles around them, Richard was pissed and they were cowering. They got the message load and clear. I bet it keeps them away a day or 2. I am glad there were no firearms aboard. Some 2 oz sinkers would have been handy. I have never had any direct negative experiences with Indians, I recognize thief's are theifs, it does not matter the color of their skin. But this does nothing to improve the general image. Any which way it was an exciting start to the morning

One Way,

You paint a sobering view of your outing and I for one am glad that you stated that a thief is just that in any skin color.

Using the actions of several rogue members to castigate all Tulalips as such is a disservice. The Tulalips are committed to enhancing our salmon and steelhead fisheries and have done through work on their own reservation and nearby lands, developing habitat for juvenile fish.

Glad that no-one was hurt and hopefully these thieves will get the justice they deserve.

I guarantee you that whoever the buyer is is not a tribal member and they are just as bad. And I guarantee you more crab have been stolen from the common drunk idiot look for some free crab. But this is who we caught.

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

If WDFW doesn't give you any satisfaction, call the police.

As far as I know, theft is a crime no matter WHO is doing it. A tribal member can't rob you and get away with it any more than anyone else can.

Call and file a police report.

Good move.

Unlike WDFW, the police don't really care what nation you're from if you're a thief.

It is the only time in my life when I was louder and had more to say than Todd Ripley. World famous pink worm Steelheader, pink slayer, massive hook setter, and the man who has more available words to say on a daily basis at a high volume than a fake boobed Fox News correspondent.

Addicted, just wondering do the natural boobed Fox news ladies have less to say? Has this been thoroughly studied and documented?
