Crabbing for most of Washington is over for now.

The season officially ended Sept. 1 in all marine areas except those around the San Juan Islands.

Any Dungeness crab catches were supposed to be recorded on the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife catch card. Catch reports are due Oct. 1, whether or not any crab were hauled up or kept.

In a news release, the Fish and Wildlife policy lead said that catch reports help the state figure out the amount of crab available for a winter season.

Catch record cards can be sent to WDFW by mail at CRC Unit, 600 Capitol Way N., Olympia, WA 98501-1091 or online at https://fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov/wdfw/puget_sound_crab_catch.html from Sept. 2 through Oct. 1.

Failing to report the crab catch on time can result in a $10 fine when purchasing the 2015 crab license.

Winter crab catch record cards are free to anglers with crab endorsements and available at sporting goods stores and other license vendors across the state.
