These gents got their limits of abalone today. They tried a few days ago but the water was pretty murky. Today the water was better, not good, but at least you could see the abs. They got them at Tomales Point. 

     They're getting a few salmon out in 240 to 300 feet of water. The fish are scattered around and people are catching them but not too many guys are loading up. It's still better than what was being caught at this time last year, so maybe summer will have a better salmon bite. A man can dream.

     Tomales Outlaw sent a report from yesterday: We managed 8 big Dungeness today, but had to work hard for them. We only had 1 red crab in the pots all day. Also managed 2 limits of cockles, but didn't have to work as hard for those. We saw a couple of schools of mackerel, and there were sea lions harassing them. Other boats we talked to had between 0 and 4 crab, so I guess we beat the average. I'll have to put the halibut gear aboard next time.
