If only we could spend some time on the water, crabbing and fishing. Idle fingers type out the darndest comments. So much so that they broke for a while. I'm guessing that they'll work again when there's more constructive and instructive things to comment on. Let's keep the trolling limited to the water.
    Unfortunately there's not too much to talk about. New, less than optimal test results. Crescent City's numbers went up, not a lot, but still the wrong direction. Looks like I was too optimistic about opening in February.
     There were a few days this week when the seas were down enough to surf fishing but I only saw a couple guys try and they didn't get bit. There ought to be a few herring spawning in the bay now with the fresh water flowing in, and maybe a striper following the herring schools. If you gotta fish, you might think about trying for surfperch along the eelgrass beds near Hog Island or even over the rocks on the south edge of the island.
