Another November halibut, this one for Tom Carter of Corte Madera. She weighed 22 pounds and bit a live smelt. He had one other bite. The crabbing was as it's been, slow on the pier, decent in places in the bay and slowing in the outer bay. One "inner" bay boater landed 21 Dungeness before noon. The commercial fleet are splashing pots in the water today in advance of their opener tomorrow, so numbers of crab in the ocean will start to reflect the extra pressure.
