Much of California’s coast opened for commercial Dungeness crab fishing Sunday, finally allowing traps to be cast after months of delays.

Dungeness crab season, which is normally expected to begin in November, opened at 12:01 a.m. Sunday morning in all but two zones along the coast. Zones 1 and 2, encompassing the area from just south of Point Arena to the Oregon border, will open on Jan. 15.
