🦀 The Port Ludlow Marina Crab Derby is ON!
Grab your pots and your bragging rights — our summer-long crab derby kicked off Thursday, July 2 and runs every Thursday through Monday until the season closes Monday, September 7 (Labor Day).
Who can play? Marina tenants, their guests, transient guests, and anyone renting a boat from Port Ludlow Marina.
How it works:
🦀 Measure in with a marina employee on the marina deck (please don't bring your crab into the store!)
🦀 Cutoff times: 5 PM Fri & Sat, 4 PM Thu & Sun
🦀 Crab must be alive at measure-in — no soft shell
🦀 Weekly winners announced Tuesday mornings
Prizes:
🏆 $10 gift card every week
🏆 Season's largest crab: $100 gift card + your name on the Tike Hillman Crab
Derby Trophy
A few musts: you'll need a valid shellfish license with crab endorsement, all fishing stays within Marine Area 9 – Admiralty Inlet, and WA Fish & Wildlife rules apply at all times.
May the biggest crab win. 🦀
