Nothing much to report as far as landings of fish or crabs go, just the usual red crab in the bay and off the pier and a very few dungeness from outside, mostly down off Ten Mile, and only one boat is going there when the weather occasionally allows. On the MLPA front there are public meetings for comments on the closure areas coming in February. They are tentatively scheduled for evenings on the 4th, 5th, and 6th in Gualala, Bodega Bay and Half Moon Bay. If you can't make it or just need to vent some frustration you can write a note here : http://www.dfg.ca.gov/mlpa/publiccomments.asp There is a link near the top of the page. NOTE: Questionable language will not get posted and probably won't get the results you want. Beyond that, let 'em know how you feel. Otherwise, happy holidays and may tackle comprise a significant portion of your presents.
