The Easter Bunny brought a strange egg to some crabbers today. This late 1970's to early 1980's 9.9 horsepower Johnson outboard was laying on top of their crab pot. It still has the fuel line attached, it is still in forward gear and it's missing one transom clamp, the twist grip, and the propeller. There's probably a pretty good story that goes with this motor laying on the bottom of the bay.

I can only imagine what the story is...

Hey Willie how are the crabs coming in from Tomales are there shells soft
There's a few softies and hollow ones but most of what I've seen have been in good shape. You just need to watch out for the real pretty ones.
Moss landing bound for opening day limits like every year you guys find em and I'll burn the fuel. At least until rockies open in 2 weeks
Any halibut in the bay? If so, trolling or drifting with live bait?
None that I've heard of, but the water has been warm enough (57º) back by Hog to be a possibility. This time of year, the turn of the low tide is usually the best time to fish there.
I bet with a little work, the old johnson would fire up!
