Some pretty serious wind has kept most boats off the water until the last few days. The best reports were a double limit of halibut in 90 minutes at Marshall and a sporadic perch bite on the beach. The lowest tides of the year provided some good clamming and cockling in the bay and decent rockpicking for abalone outside. Of note, Fish and Game was out on the water checking boats on Wednesday. Abbers who made honest mistakes while trying to do the right thing (wrote the wrong date on the tag, used the tags out of order, etc.) were advised and corrected. Those who were over limit or had taken short abs were ticketed and had their gear confiscated. Thank you, Game Wardens.
