Seasonal crabbing trips in Southwest Washington

A different kind of guided day on the water

Crabbing gives families, beginners, and groups a straightforward way to spend time on the water. Fin Addict provides the pots, bait, and instruction needed for the trip.

Typical planning window

Fin Addict’s service calendar lists crabbing from September through December. That is Cody’s typical guided-trip window, not a claim that Washington crab fisheries are only legally open during those months. Coastal and marine-area rules vary, and pot-gear closures or emergency changes can affect a specific trip.

What is provided

Fin Addict supplies crab pots, bait, safety equipment, and instruction. Guests should bring weather-appropriate layers, food and drinks, and the shellfish license and any area-specific reporting or catch-record requirements that apply to the trip.

Family-friendly trip planning

Seasonal crabbing can be a practical option for groups who want an active, hands-on outing rather than a species-specific fishing technique all day.

Check current shellfish rules

Washington shellfish seasons and emergency rules can change. Confirm the current WDFW regulations before the trip and ask Cody about the active area when checking dates.
