      Great weather today with lots of boats on the water. I heard a few good crab stories from the Outer Bay and Ten Mile (in both cases a lot of moving around was required to find the sweet spots) but the rockfish were a bit slow, possibly due to the fullish moon. Bright nights are usually not good for daytime rockfishing in shallow water, especially when the water is so clear. Gage and I had some other commitments for part of the day but were able to catch thirteen Dungeness, nine rockfish and one lingcod today in the Outer Bay. After three pulls through seven cones we ended with six keepers in our last cone. The further east we went the more Dungeness. If we'd had time for another set we'd likely have limited, especially considering that our pulls scored one, one and eleven keepers. The shore fishermen (snare guys) haven't been doing all that well, but one fisherman today (he has No Bad Days, so...) had five nice Dungeness from the Sand Point. To sum up: It ain't awesome, but it doesn't completely suck.
