  1. Ten of either sex
  2. Five males ✔
  3. Three males

Why: In the Seattle/Bremerton area the Dungeness limit is five males a day, at least 6.25 inches. Limits can differ by marine area, so check the area you fish.

Huh, didn't know that: WDFW usually announces Puget Sound crab seasons each June for summer and each September for winter.
