Still slow crabbing on the pier, better in the bay, and good outside. Ten Mile had excellent crab for me. We ended up with 50 jumbo Dungeness, 50 rockfish and 10 lings to 18 pounds.  We had to return over a dozen keeper lings before we finished our rockfish. I think the lingcod are in.

Wow, that is an outstanding haul! Where would you recommend fishing for the lingcod and rockfish? Thanks for the post!

Some other guys did well right off Tomales Point yesterday afternoon, particularly on the lingcod. For south of Bodega, I like the reefs at Bird, Elephant, off of Abbott's Lagoon, off of the towers, and at Point Reyes, somewhere around 100 to 150 feet deep, and take the time to meter for schools of fish. If you find a school that is biting, keep putting the motor in and out of reverse to park the boat over the fish. Leave the biting fish only when you are limited or they quit biting. I was at the towers in 145 feet at about the 38°10' line.
