The advisory to not eat sport caught bivalves from Tomales Bay is still in effect but the clams from the northernmost part of the bay have tested negative for the toxin. Last week Fish and Wildlife wrote up a couple of guys for eating limits of clams and then digging up separate limits. The fact that they didn't drop dead kind of indicated that the clams were probably OK. Even so, I'm going to wait a bit before I go clamming for my family. The Dungeness catching has been very slow in the bay and I haven't heard of a keeper from the pier for a few days. There's still a lot of reds across the bay and a few on the pier. The outer bay still has some decent pockets of Dungeness if you can find them and if you can safely get there. The ocean has been nice the last few days and the weather in general has been better than we usually get in the summer. Rain would be good, but if we can't have it then at least we get some great weather.
