Finally, a fishing report :"Took these ladies fishing for their first surf fishing trip and they definitely had the luck on their side" Gage and company were not the only ones catching out there. These fish were caught near the top of the tide in the afternoon but Gage talked to some other fishermen that had 3/4 limits earlier in the incoming. As usual, the Berkley Gulp! sandworm in camo color was the fish's choice.

    Friday Tim Woerner had a bit of excitement on his way in from crabbing in the Outer Bay. Just as he was getting to the dangerous part of the breaker line on the bar he ran over a floating crab rope. It killed his motor but luckily the wind and tide carried him away from doom instead of toward it. He was able to clear the line from his wheel and come in safely but, "That was the closest I've come to dying on the bar," in a long time. Then I told him that I had gone shopping at Costco Thursday evening and he told me, "You win."

    I'd like to add a little perspective to the last report about the human remains in a crab pot. Jumpers from the Golden Gate Bridge and Bodega Head have washed up on Ten Mile Beach before. It is conceivable that an intact body made its way by current and wind to the Ten Mile area before coming apart (as Yeats said, "Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold"). Those currents can move rocks around on the bottom (as mentioned in the comments, chunks of coal have been caught in crab pots). Human bones are equally or less dense than bituminous coal so therefore they should travel even easier. My two takeaways: 

    1. The simplest answer usually being the correct one, it was probably a suicide.

    2. If you're going to dispose of a body at sea, don't do it during commercial Dungeness season.
