Not too much to report, as usual. The crabbing in the bay picked up a bit in the last week and I even heard of a couple of people getting Dungeness limits from the pier. Only a little pick-up, though, as there were still plenty of crabbers going home without. The surfperch bite was on the slow side over the weekend but a little more wave action this week ought to pick it up again. The California Department of Public Health issued an advisory against eating sport-caught bivalves in Marin County this week, but it didn't stop clammers from coming out. The three today forgot that after the tide goes out it comes back in. Their boat (pool toy) drifted away long before they realized it. They called 911, but a goodhearted crabber picked them up before the Fire Department got here. Last week the Sheriff's helicopter had to pluck some other stranded bath toy clammers off of the island. Seems to me that the clammer's choice of boats may be more dangerous than the clams. Also it seems that maybe the new rules for boat licensing may be a good idea. At least after licensing people will have the knowledge that they're making bad decisions.

What! There is a tide that goes out and comes back in??? Who'd thunk it;)
Googones
Unfortunately licensing boaters will not teach common sense.
Blabfish can we get a phonetic spelling of googones?
Is it "goo-gahns" or "goh-gahns" or "goo-goh-ness" or "goo-goons" or?
Please advise.
Shhh let the "goo gones" eat the clams paralytic shellfish poisoning is fake news!
