Crab lovers are out of luck for the Thanksgiving holiday. In an effort to save the whales… the state department of fish and wildlife has postponed the crab fishing season until December 15.
Fish and wildlife has sighted whales feeding off point reyes and half moon bay and says it doesn’t want to take the chance of whales getting caught in crab fishing lines.
For now, fishing boats sit idle at local harbors until state officials give the go ahead.
