The crabbing in the outer bay was hit-and-miss over the weekend. My pots were a miss with five Dungeness for four pots overnight, but the guys crabbing around me got half limits or better. Crabbing from the pier was painfully slow with reds making up the vast majority of the catch. Rockfishing was good, especially for the guys that fished a bit deeper. The fishermen I talked to caught limits of both rockfish and lings. The California Department of Public Health has cleared the clams from Hog Island to the mouth of the bay and it is only further back into the bay that the "do not eat" advisory is in effect. Here's a map:
