The Dungeness crabbing on the pier is painfully slow but boaters have been able to pretty well in the bay if they can avoid losing their gear to currents and pirates. The current was the most prevalent thief and a lot of guys got their gear back at slack tide. The outer bay is still good and crabby but even there, some spots are better than others. Hopefully tonight will be the first night since the opener without someone stuck on the sand bar. The early evening low tides caught at least four boats in four nights. If you find yourself stuck out there the only fix is patience. The water will return and there's nothing you can do to hurry it up.
