Mike Martin sent over this crab report : "Hey Willy, went out Thursday morning for the first time this year. The herd leaving the dock were all heading north. We decided to give Ten Mile a go. Set 6 pots 50'-70' and another 6 in 115'. Pulled 10 crab out of the shallow pots and ZERO crab in the deep pots. Moved them in shallow and we got our 4 limits in the next 2 pulls. Not stuffed pots for sure but a nice grade of crabs. No females and only about a half dozen under sized."  That sounds like pretty good crabbing to me, and not dodging boats is even better. I guess that when you're crabbing all alone you get to run your own gear without any help. It sounds kinda nice. Most of the crabbers that I spoke with today had Dungeness but not as many had as many as they were trying for. The boats that left the bay did pretty well, but inside it was tougher. 

     These guys gave up on the crabbing today and decided to do something that burned more fuel. In this case, well played, sirs. It was busy and I didn't get names, but I do know that the bluefin weighed 110 pounds gutted. Also, should they choose to go crabbing tomorrow they should have some of the best crab bait imaginable. Even crabs like bluefin.
