Crab Pots

Can ayone suggest somewhere in Haines to buy a pot for king crab? If not Haines then Juneau will do. I'll be heading from Haines to Juneau and points west in 2 weeks and king crab pots are pretty scarce in Fairbanks. Can anyone suggest a depth I should be looking for to drop the pot? Info is pretty scarce. I may even get close enough to the real ocean to find a few abalone but I'm guessing that even that far south the water is still pretty chilly. Smile

Thanks

The local Fredericks of Juneau (Fred Meyer) has decent king pots for about a C note. I drop my pots pretty deep but its more about where you drop them than anything. You will see the crab floats everywhere and you really cant go wrong following the locals; just dont crowd us and fowl our sets.

Thanks Salmon Slayer, don't worry I won't set near your pots and foul your sets. I'm just stopping for a day in Juneau then heading out.
