The pier had more and better crabs than the boats last week with the snare fishermen outdoing the netters. When the ocean is flat enough there is pretty good crabbing in the outer bay, out in front of the Estero de San Antonio. The surfperch were not biting on the beach but limits of very nice rubberlip perch are being caught from boats fishing the rocks in the bay. They are biting best when the tide is flowing. The official salmon season vote is on April 15.
