The crabbing remains both good and bad, depending on who you talk to. Today, Gage and I talked to Mike Hill. "Willy and Gage, it was good talking to you guys today, we had a good day today in the bay with 3 limits, had to move around a lot but finally found them, they are there you just have to work a bit than normal!!  Thanks Mike" Moving around  and working the gear is important, as the crab are only in some spots, and those spots can move. You don't know if you're in the right spot until you check your gear. Fishing or crabbing, you need to be where the critters you're looking for are. Mike Hill and crew were, eventually. Hence the limits.

    The crab seem to be best north of Bodega Bay. Next best, the far end of Ten Mile. Next, the Outer Bay, but there's a whole lot of bare ground out there. Same goes for inside Tomales Bay. Rockfishing has been pretty good. Lingcod a bit flakier but I saw a 18.5 pounder on Sunday so there's a few nice ones around. The coolest thing is that there's bluefin scattered from at least the Bodega weather buoy to below Cordell Bank. A few guys have caught some but it's mostly a nature expedition, watching fish that won't bite jump out of the water next to the boat. Exciting and gas consuming but mostly not worth it. 

     Unless you're one of the few that gets bit.
