     Crabbers are still catching. I've seen a few keepers caught from shore in front of the store, but most shore snarers are catching very few keepers. Inside Tomales Bay boaters are generally catching enough for dinner but I haven't heard of any limits since the opener. The outer bay has quite a few crab and most boaters crossing the bar are catching limits or numbers close to limits there. Again, though, the crab aren't everywhere and a little testing and fine tuning is often necessary. 

     The forecast for today wasn't ideal but it looked like there might be a tuna window, so Vance Staplin, Alec Bennett and I took a shot at it. Our one bite was at about 9:30 on a pink mackerel Madmac 200 50 seconds back. This one weighed 122lbs gutted and gilled. We caught it at 25 by 35 about a half mile from a birdnado. Close to the same time another boat had a double about a mile north of us. There wasn't nearly as much sign as there was last week. I saw only two tuna at the surface under birds and we covered 75 miles today. It ain't over yet, though.
