Well, I'm due to report, so, crab is the only story here. It's a pretty good story, as stories go. To be fair, you can definitely go home with nothing, but mostly crabbers are leaving with a few crab. Snarers are getting a few. When the current gets too strong, a few snarers are heading out onto the oceanfront beach and picking up a few keeper Dungeness. The current isn't nearly as fast there. Inside the bay the boaters are picking up a few up to limits. The guy I spoke with that had limits used rockfish heads for bait when he limited, but had half-limits using chicken for bait. His timing with the tide may have been better on his limit day, too, as crabbing over the tide turn is almost always better than crabbing through peak current. The outer bay has still been good but, as usual, dropping in the right spot is the key, and finding that spot, well, it can take a bit of effort. I'm still looking for it. But I've seen the results from the guys that found it, so I know that there's a few spots out there to be found. 

    The weather forecast has not been sympathetic to bluefin fishing, so I haven't heard of anyone heading out there lately. No tuna reports does bode well for no whales spotted, so let's look at the silver lining, as it were. Maybe traps, soon. Of course, that would also mean that the guys that depend on crabbing to pay their bills will get to go fishing, too, so the better gear is offset by a load of better fishermen. Good for them, though, if it happens. We had our easy chances, and if we missed it it's kind of our fault. Go make some house payments, boys.
