Dungeness crab season started last week. Eager crustacean aficionados might have noticed it came a day late though, which is practically a lifetime when you're jonesin' to dip a largely tasteless meat into melted butter or get your mallet on one of those salt-and-pepper numbers from R&G Lounge in Chinatown. Even despite promising early predictions of a strong season, the first week of crab fishing in the area hasn't exactly been smooth sailing.
CBS Local first noted the season was off to a strong start, despite an early accident in which a crab fisherman lost the tips from two of his fingers while fishing off the coast of Bodega Bay.
Also from Bodega Bay comes a tragic report of an accident this morning on a sport fishing boat out for a crab fishing trip. The boat capsized in rough waters after a fishing line got caught in the propeller. One man died in the accident and two others were suffering from hypothermia. None of the five people on board had been wearing life vests.
