I didn't catch these guys names but they sure caught the surfperch. The Dungeness crabs that were their primary goal couldn't get to their gear through the crowds of red and rock crab near the shore on the other side of the bay, but these guys found a school of perch that liked their shrimp and Berkley Power Bait worms to the point of near limits. Someone's having a fish fry tonight....

     Not too many happy things said about the crabbing today as most of the guys working Tomales Bay had similar issues with the reds. Outside the crabbing was better for the guys that tried it. No salmon or halibut landed here yet, but not too many people are fishing for them, so that may have something to do with it. For anybody looking for a little info about perch fishing, here's a good site, even though they don't mention Dillon Beach : http://www.scalzfishing.com/surf-perch-fishing-tips-for-beginners/
