Here's a weekend report from Branden Mendoza: "Hey willy kinda late but we did decent on Saturday off elephant rock in about 150'. Lings didn't wanna bite to much. The crabs weren't very hungry either we tried 4 pots off Tomales in about 160' for 2 dungeness and a few reds." It looks like the lings didn't want to bite too little, either. Those are some nice vermilion in that pile, too. Unless you're one of the lucky or very skilled (the lucky will tell you they're skilled; the skilled guys say they got lucky) the crabbing has been pretty poor. Two look pretty good to me. I didn't even put any pots out on Thursday because I know where I am on the lucky/skilled line (even without dropping a pot I caught what I was gonna catch). I will revise the crab location guess for Rodney Johnson's pile of Dungeness on Saturday from the Outer Bay to "someplace on Ten Mile" due to a talk with a guy that knows Rodney and the Outer Bay far better than I.

   

 This evening Gage tried for surfperch and ended up with one keeper redtail and a couple of shorts. I tried for stripers and got in a lot of casting practice. At least the seaweed wasn't too bad. The water felt relatively warm.
