Crabbing in the bay remains only okay for most. I heard of a couple of guys that did pretty well. One beach snarer had six Dungeness in the morning. Most beach snarers had far, far less. The big swell that moved in last night may have swept a few Dungeness into the bay. They won't last long, though, not with all the effort. Even with those extra crab the majority of the crabbers went home with less than they expected. The outer bay had some crab yesterday but was unavailable from Tomales Bay today as the bar was impassable. 

    

    Here's a report from yesterday: "Hey Willy, 

Trolled for bluefin from the weather buoy out to the canyon and struck out. Beautiful day on the water. Saw two schools of tuna on top, lots of dolphins, and a few whales. Headed in at 2 and stopped at elephant to make sure I still knew how to fish. Caught some expensive bottom dwellers. Can't wait to try again if the fish hang around. 

Best,

Nate Baker" Gage and I saw you troll by yesterday. We were south of you, trolling north around 11:00. We saw one fish bust the surface and we had one hookup for maybe five seconds before it came off. Our hookup was on the shorter line (50 seconds back) on a Hot Sardine Halco 190. A second boat in the same area hooked and landed two bluefin on Madmacs. The area was just outside of the Bodega Bay weather buoy, with other fish landed near Cordell. The current carrying warm, offshore water continues to push in towards Bodega Bay and Cordell and theoretically the bluefin should continue to hang around until the current quits and/or the anchovies leave. A couple of good storms could do that. So, troll 'em while you can, because like all good things it will soon come to an end.
