The Washington and Oregon crab fishing fleet transits from various ports along the Oregon and Washington coastline toward the crab soaking grounds prior to the opening of the pre-soak period Jan. 1, 2016. The commercial crab season officially opens at 9 a.m. Jan. 4, 2016, and that is when the crab fishing fleet is allowed to start collecting their pre-soaked crab pots.
