This gentleman and his buddies caught three limits of Dungeness before noon today. These all came from near Marker 5, but not in the scrum of pots there. He wasn't giving the exact location and I don't blame him.
I was able to get out of the bay on Thursday but should have stayed inside, it looks like. Five pots in 75' of water in the outer bay caught five Dungeness, and two pots in 140' of water off of Tomales Point caught six Dungeness. It was only a four hour soak, but I was expecting a bit more. At least there were rockfish to catch. Except, not where they were two weeks ago. Where I had been throwing back keeper lings I now couldn't get a bite. We finally went down to the reefs off of Abbott's Lagoon to catch half limits of rockfish. The sea was big but not as large as the day before when a boat out of Bodega dropped into the trough behind a huge swell and pancaked, breaking off all four seat posts. On Wednesday the swell peaked at 17 feet at the Bodega Buoy (19 at Point Reyes). That's too big.

They did better than us. The bay was like the invasion of Normandy. So many boats....and the buoys were like navigating a minefield. We did score 6 for a quick soak. The bar was mad, just mad. Serves us right going on a Saturday. Good lunch though.

You're being too generous. The Invasion of Normandy had a plan.
Glad i did yard work. I bet there was lost of gear warshed away on the out go. Gotts ta love googones you would have thought when they closed the freeway down in vallejo they would have stayed home go back to sac without our crab and stay away. Let the locals enjoy there backyard.
Wow. You realize that if only locals "played" here, this blog would be gone and Lawson's would be out of business at this point, right? Genius.

Hey ab fish
Not sure what your beef is with the Sac crowd is but anyone who is willing to trailer a boat two and a half hours+ there and back to try there luck has the same right as you.

Ps Did you get a anchor yet?
Apparently, some folks don't realize they're part of a larger, interconnected world.
Smack talking about Sac people and calling people googones by the guy who goes out into the ocean unprepared. ��
Word of the day:
goo•gans
noun pl [güg-əns]
Definition: Fishermen who are not professional; aka weekend warriors; part-timers; tourists
Example: "Goddamn googans, they're all over the place this weekend."
or "Look at that silly googan that is drifting into the rocks because he left his anchor at home."
Good one lol!
Whatever at least some of have the balls to go outside the bay i used to wonder why guys in an perfectly capable ocean boat setting pots inside the bay. And shit happens wasnt my boat just glad some people still like to be heroes not just talk crap.
