I tried my luck today with pots at McClure's Beach and below the Keyholes. Keyholes was definitely the spot for me, although there were some Dungeness at McClure's. So far there's not too many commercial pots off of the beach but they're probably coming soon. The radio was full of commercial guys talking about empty strings of pots and moving their gear. Of course, the guys that are filling up the boat with crab probably know better than to blab their location over the radio, so most VHF chatter is usually sad. My rockfishing went well with two limits in a little over two hours while working the Keyholes reefs. Then we spent another hour chasing squid at Elephant Rock for about 80 of the critters. If you want some squid, look for the birds, then meter around the area for big schools on the bottom. The school we found was in 105 feet but would occasionally make the meter read bottom at 55 feet. The little squid will go in next week's bait jars and the big squid will go in me. Unfortunately the weather is turning to rain, wind and big seas for the next few days.
