    Got this report yesterday :"Hey Willie,

Snuck down there before we all go into lockdown and caught a few perch off the beach. Lots of smaller ones but had fun. Most came at the top of the tide.

Saw Gage taking quite a crew out Wednesday afternoon, they do any good?

Thanks, Swampy" The Gage report was two boats, one possible bite between them. They tried for halibut back by Marshall and found 54º water and not much bait. It is still early. I would stick with the perch and hopefully social distancing will keep others from crowding you if you find the good spot.
     One boat made a trip out for sand dabs yesterday. They tried 290 to 305 feet of water due West from Tomales Point for a grand total of three tiny dabs, one petrale sole and a spiny dogfish that tied the leader into knots. His summary: "Go perch fishing."
     Crabbing has been the usual, okay in the outer bay if you're in the right spot, slow inside the bay with occasional small runs of keepers passing through.

Are you guys still launching? I’d sure like a shot at my Lings next week...

Nope. All beaches and parks closed, including us. We actually have a lock on the gate in order to avoid a misdemeanor. Those of us locked in can still hit the water (I think) so long as we practice our social distancing. I fish better alone, anyhow.

What’s it gonna take for you to lock me in??




Thanks for the reply;)!
