The weather was pretty nasty outside but at least one boat I spoke with had 30 keeper Dungeness inside the bay today. The pier was pretty slow, with even some of the regulars getting skunked. The strong currents probably didn't help any. Speaking of the tides, the second grounded boat in three days is being assisted by the Coast Guard helicopter as I write this. Boaters, beware of all the sandbars and mind the tides, because the water you went out on can and will leave. The sandbars near the mouth will have breakers over them before you get refloated if the seas are bad enough.

What do you guys consider the outer bay? Past the green can, or the bar?

The Park Service says that past the green can is the ocean (which is debatable, considering that the green can isn't where is should be) but I say over the bar and east of a line drawn between Tomales Point and Bodega Head.
