The quarantine on bivalve shellfish has been expanded to all of Tomales Bay. To clarify, do not eat clams, cockles, or mussels from the bay. Last spring during the quarantine, a lady in the store commented that she didn't have to worry because she would be eating her clams in Santa Clara county, not by Tomales Bay. I'm afraid that it doesn't work like that. Crab is still OK when you can catch them. The rockfish are still biting well in the ocean although the East wind is making for a very strange drift. The outer bay is still kicking out a few crabs. One boat yesterday caught a limit of Dungeness on a half-day soak. The pier is pretty slow. Randy from Carson City is only catching 2 to 4 per day. The bar has been breaking every so often, so great care should be taken when crossing it. The swell is forecast to build this weekend so Tomales Bay might get shut out from the ocean.
