The crabbing story remains close to the same with a few in the bay, a few more outside the bay, and reasonably good first pulls from Carmet north. There's a good chance that the wind turning the water over may have chased the whales away which will possibly allow the commercial season to start in December. That will not make the crabbing any better. The low crab count coupled with a low price for crab will probably not make for many happy crabbers in the commercial ranks, either. At least we do it for fun.

     As the Dungeness crabbing continues to be kind of meh talk has apparently turned to rockfish: "For the comment board, any suggestions best area for rock fish in Tomales Bay area during Nov/Dec?

Thank you,

Jon M."  I'm not giving out any waypoints, but the following picture shows some good general areas. The red circled spots are pretty popular and the yellow, less so. Google Earth shows a lot of secrets. The further you go from the mouth of the bay the better the fishing, usually.
