My wife and I were considering getting a shellfishing license for our cruising this summer. We have been out crabbing with a former neighbor (who was very successful at it) several times, and we are certainly going to try some crabbing on our own. But, the other shellfish that we are particularly interested in is mussels, and we know nothing at all about gathering them. I came across an article last summer, where someone had gone out in search of their own mussels, and loved the experience.
Is this something that any of you enjoy doing while spending time cruising around in our area? Can you help me out with info on where to find mussels, and maybe where to avoid them? I saw a DFW sign last summer while in the south sound which listed limits for clams, oysters, and mussels... but at that time, I did not see any mussels in the immediate vicinity.
We are transplants to the region, and have not spent time anywhere fishing, crabbing, etc... Thanks, in advance!
