Learn all you ever wanted to know about Crabbing and Oystering on this guided hands-on tour! Join local crabbing expert Jason Thorne where he will show us how to bait, and set the various styles of traps/pots.

At Oysterville Sea Farms, the oldest in operation, we will tour the cannery and learn more about the life-cycle & aqua-culture while enjoying freshly shucked oysters, and hot tea (sack lunch from Surfer Sands available for pre-purchase).
