Some of the guys that went to Ten Mile did really well on the Dungeness today, so maybe there's more out there than I'm being told. Or, these guys are lucky, or better crabbers, or both. Either way, they caught limits of Dungies down there. Another fellow told me that he caught two limits of Dungeness in the outer bay. It only took him three days to do it.  That's about on par with inside the bay. That said, on boat yesterday ended up with 12 Dungeness for several pots on Ten Mile, so the big beach is still far from guaranteed success. 

Got this email this afternoon: "Hey Willy

Thank you for the informative post on the 12th, I followed your clues Friday and Had a successful day With a friend.

Richard" My clues didn't look as good as your pile of dead critters, Richard. My bugs were surely not as large. Nicely done, sir.

   Gage sent me this picture and note: "High Times Fishing, a frequent on the fishing report, had squid eggs on his traps in the channel across from the store" So, squid definitely enter the bay. They will spawn in the bay, although perhaps not in great numbers. I don't think this makes the area across the bay a squid spawn zone and therefore a place to reliably catch white sea bass (although I have caught them there...), or does it...? One female squid appears to carry two of these egg sacs, so for sure it looks like there were at least four female squid present. I'd get more excited except for the (recently warmed up to) 52ºF water temp. That seems too cold for white seabass or squid. Except, you know, squid were here. Maybe they don't know it's too cold? Do the seabass know? I'm pretty sure that I don't know.
