What's up? I hope you had a good Christmas or whatever solstice holiday you're in to. The days are getting longer now! No fimbulwinter for you! Hopefully not for me, either. Dungeness continue to be caught inside the bay and out, although getting out has been hard (read: impossible) for a bit with swells over 15 feet shutting down the mouth of the bay. For the next week the forecast doesn't look much better between the swell and the wind. It looks like the rockfish will be safe for a few months. We have a few more weeks of crabbing without the use of traps, at least that many, but the commercials haven't started dropping pots en masse yet, so if the weather gives us an unpredicted break it might be worth quick run to Salmon Creek.
Brad Stompe sent over a report from last Thursday. My apologies for the late post but there have been a few things going on and I get easily distracted. "Hey willie,
Battled ship grey Grady 228 "Mary Frances"" It was a 13 foot Whaler with a 50hp motor. Unsinkable and unrollable are two different things.

So can we use box traps as of today? On a limited quantity? My reading comprehension of the cdfw regulations has always been less than good.
If you're commercial, yes. Sport fishermen south of Mendocino county have to stick to rings until further notice. Is it fair? No. Is it fair that we got to crab with rings and the commercial guys didn't? No. Is CDFW getting an earful? Yes
Test
I've always wondered why commercial guys are able to take millions of pounds of crab and we're only able to take 10 crab each
they are catching crabs for millions of people
