The crabbing has been either pretty slow or pretty good, depending on who you ask. The boater report has varied from, on the high side, seven to twenty Dungeness, down to a lot of zeroes. There's not much middle ground. So, it seems that there's some crab to catch if you can work the right spot in the right way. Most of the catchers aren't talking but a couple mentioned Marker 5. To be fair, so did some of the non-catchers. A couple of feet of depth difference can be the game changer. Heck, 20 to 30 feet can make or break you. Work the gear often. Don't reset where you didn't catch. Crabbing where the crab aren't works just as well as fishing where the fish aren't. I've tried them both and they suck. Find 'em, them catch'em. 

   If you like wind you missed a fantastic weekend. I think a few trailer left here without paint after the sand blasting they took over the last couple of days. The kite boarders seemed happy at least. No halibut caught that I'm aware of and I don't think anybody stuck their nose out front for a rockfish. There was a boat sinking situation on Friday right in front of the webcam, so here's a video: friskypriests.com/sinking   The little Gregor Cameron is trying to pull out shipped enough water over the transom while backing up that he rolled over. The other boats waiting for pull outs came to his aid in an admirable fashion. If you're going to sink or roll a boat, my recommendation is to do it like this. He was a perfect gentlemen and after changing into dry clothes he came back around to thank everyone. Very nice fellow. I hope he's looking for a slightly larger boat, or art least redistributing the weight in the current vessel.
