Gage and I ended up with two limits of Dungeness, 18 rockfish and two lings. The crabbing was about as expected, kinda spotty. We dropped seven pots over a wide area to get an idea of where the crab are(n't). The results after three hours:
Towers 60 feet: 7 Dungeness
Halfway between Towers and Abbott's 60 feet: 5 Dungeness
Abbott's 60 feet: 1 red crab
Halfway between Abbott's and Kehoe 50 feet: 1 Dungeness 1 red
Kehoe 55 feet: 2 Dungeness 1 red
Two pots in outer bay, 55 feet: 12 Dungeness between them.
The best grade of crab was at the Towers with four jumbos. Our pots in the outer bay were in the midst of a lot of other gear and I can't imagine there being many crab around there for too much longer. The rockfish bit kind of slow and there weren't as many on the meter as I usually see. Both Gage and I hooked into large lings that didn't stick. That's okay though, because the couple of lings we did catch were clearly getting ready to make more lings. It looks like the south wind is coming up tomorrow and a north swell on Saturday but Monday looks good so far.

Reports and Intel do not get any better than that. Sounds like the crab is still deep and to the north. Those blacks are hogs!!!

Nice report Willy!
Wow I wonder where are all the crab then? Hmmmmm🤔
Was wondering how you identify Towers. I know the trees, but not the towers.
Thanks!
The Towers are the radio towers about a mile south of Abbott's Lagoon. A map is here:
