The gentleman from Reno finished his trip with nearly 20 dungeness but he left some crabs for the rest of us. I've seen six others come from the pier since late Sunday. Clamming continues, no big tides yet but clams coming in. Abalone season is here and they taste good. For those of you unaware, the regulations have changed again for this year and you now must tag each abalone as soon as it is removed from the water. The tags and punch card both need to be filled out at that time. A personal observation: bring a towel or an astronaut pen because regular pens don't work well when you are dripping on the paper. No swell today to speak of, clear water, one limit for me to 9" without having to go over 5' deep.
