Sheriffs offer safety tips for
crabbing, boat anchoring
While the fall months offer
the best crabbing opportunities
in local bays, crabbing is open
year round.
It is important to understand
where it is safe to place crab
traps or anchor boats.
Listed below are sugges-
tions and rules that apply to
placement of crab traps and
anchoring boats.
• Place crab traps or rings
outside the navigational chan-
nel.
• Use appropriate rope/line
for depth of water. A rope too
long for the depth of water
may float on top creating a
navigational hazard. If your
rope is too long for the depth
of water, a small weight
attached between the float and
trap will help keep it under the
surface.
• Add weight to the trap
which will help prevent it from
“walking” or moving with the
strong tidal flows.
Each year, improper anchor-
ing is the cause of injury and
death. Swift currents, high
flows and cold water make the
following anchoring proce-
dures imperative. Strong tidal
currents change approximately
every six hours.
• Use anchor line five to
seven times the depth of the
water.
• Bring the bow into the
wind or current; place motor-
boat engines into neutral.
• Lower the anchor over the
bow, do not toss or throw it
overboard.
• Always secure the anchor
line to the bow.
• Never anchor over the
stern or sides of boats; this has
caused many boats to capsize
and sink.
• Make sure arms, legs,
hands, and feet are completely
clear of the line before lower-
ing the anchor.
Do not obstruct a passage-
way ordinarily used by other
boats, as prohibited by law.
For additional boating tips,
call the Oregon State Marine
Board and request a copy of
the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers “Anchor Safely” tip
sheet or visit www.boatore-
gon.com.
