The Oak Harbor Marina will host a crab pot fundraiser Sunday afternoon.

Have crab pots?

If not, this is the perfect time to get some for yourself, while helping out a local organization which specializes in boating education.

The Deception Pass Sail and Power Squadron is holding a socially-distanced fundraiser Sunday, January 17 in the Oak Harbor Marina parking lot.

The event will run from 2-3 PM that day, and the marina can be found at 1401 SE Catalina Drive.

All crab gear being offered is clean and inspected, and includes the pot, approximately 80-feet of leaded line, new rot cord, bait bags or boxes, and Washington state legal floats in the size and color required.

There are 50 pots available, and payment needs to be made by cash or checks made out to DPSPS. No credit cards accepted.

The asked donation is $20 per regular crab pot, and $30 for stainless steel ones.

All fundraiser participants are required to wear masks.

Money raised goes to fund a non-profit organization in its 44th year of existence.

DPSPS has 70+ members from Whidbey and Fidalgo Islands and is dedicated to “education and training of safe boating activities.”

Former Wolf slaps that bass

Posted in Fishing, tagged bass fishing, Boyle County, CHS Wolves, Elliott Johnson, state on April 28, 2019| Leave a Comment »

Former CHS athlete Elliott Johnson (left) is now a bass fisherman in Kentucky, and he’s headed to the state tournament in the sport. (Photo property of Boyle County High School).

From basketball to bass.

When his family moved from Coupeville to Kentucky after his freshman year, former Wolf Elliott Johnson picked up a new sport not offered at any Whidbey schools.

And now, as a junior at Boyle County High School in Danville, he’s headed to the state tourney as a fisherman.

Johnson and partner Tyler Devine finished 7th out of 87 boats at the KHSAA Region 3 bass fishing meet, hauling in 12.7 pounds of nutritionally-rich dinner.

The cut for state was the top 17, and Boyle County is sending three teams on to the big (fish) dance, best in school history.

Johnson’s teammates finished 4th (Hannah Wesley and Trey Barnett) and 17th (Cooper Kreider and Hagan Gerlach).

While she didn’t make it to state, Boyle County’s Abigail Downey pulled in the third-biggest fish at regionals, a plump lil’ thing tipping the scales at 5.1 pounds.

During his time in Coupeville, Johnson played tennis, basketball and baseball, while younger sister Stella was a standout softball player.

Mom Mimi, a CHS grad and accomplished athlete in her own right, coached multiple teams while dad Scott kept Central Whidbey Little League humming along.

Robin Cedillo is taking over the sports world.

The Coupeville High School sophomore, who played softball and was one of the peppiest of all cheerleaders for two Wolf squads during her first year of high school, is now a champion fish wrangler.

She spent part of Saturday hauling in trout with her dad, proving she is a young woman of many talents.

Bow fishies, bow before your one true queen, Miss Robin “The Smilin’ Assassin” Cedillo!
