Even more crab test results

    Like most of my attempts at new fishing techniques, the most recent test results are promising but not good enough to work. All of the most recent tests north of the Channel Islands had less than half the crab fail and averaged less than 30 ppm, except for one test at Eureka. It would appear that the Department of Public Health is looking for 100% clean tests, so we're not there yet but surely going the right direction. President's Day crab, perhaps?
    While I was away at the fishing tackle show not buying crab gear, there were a few surfperch caught off of the beach and even a striper. On a couple of days this week the fish should have been tossed up on the beach (or even the dunes) by the giant breakers. If you are thinking about surf fishing, check the weather before you drive out here because not only will you not catch on a huge day but you may not survive it, either.

This might be interesting research for someone who has the time;  how did the DA levels vary in previous years when there were no closures?  My sense is they were similar to what we are seeing now.

Just a thought of warning for those attempting surf fishing at Dillon: Wear a PFD. Especially if you are wearing waders.

Ab fish: I bet you'd be the first litigious S.O.B. to sue if you got sick on dirty crab. I'm sure the country you wish America emulated (Mexico? Iran?) would welcome you with open arms. Feel free to send a postcard.

Usually when you have someone that is all talk, when it comes to an actual situation they get their trousers full of crap instead of their pots full of crab

Guys,

This is a fishing forum. Stop using it for your political views.

Sounds like somebody works for the feds and like people to have opinion or make a joke.
It's just crab relax don't get your panties in a bunch. It's a blog you can post whatever. Maybe you might go to Iran or Mexico if you want to limit people's freedoms.

Yeah, ab fish, I work for the feds and spend my time on fishing sites trolling for polical rabble-rousers.

No, I just prefer fishing updates.
