Thanks to Logan for the photo. Several people have asked about the gathering of boats in Elliott Bay (and trailers at Don Armeni Boat Ramp). It’s the one-day, four-hour spot-shrimp season, according to the Department of Fish and Wildlife website – 9 am to 1 pm. There may be an encore during the same hours May 30 “if quota remains,” WDFW says. Spot shrimp, aka prawns, are described as the largest shrimp in Puget Sound; they can grow to up to nine inches long.
It’s good to know there is a healthy population of spot shrimp that allows a fishery to continue in this part of the Salish Sea.
I’m glad you posted this. Just looked out and wondered what was there, and it wasn’t showing on my Maritime Tracker. I need a better telescope.
Man, missed it again. I need to work at harder at making friends with someone who has a boat.
Go to Quarterdeck at the Des Moines marina around happy hour time, get a beer or glass of wine, and ask any random group if you can join. Odds are one of them has a boat
Sorry, comment time is over.
