Sorry I missed this post! For anyone else looking to do some crabbing on San Juan Island...Try calling Snug Harbor ( on the west side of San Juan Island ) .. you can drop your crab pot just a couple hundred meters from their docks and I believe they have rowboats for rent or free for customers. Find their site on this page about
San Juan Island resorts.
I used to drop my crab pot just a bit beyond the mouth of Snug Harbor. I would normally leave it from 9am to 3 or 4pm.
Happy crabbing!
