Only a couple of crabbers today, but inside the bay beat outside. Just as well, as the bar was not too cool today with many breakers in the afternoon. I saw one jumbo Dungeness caught off of the shore in front of the Boathouse this morning, but from the way all of the other crabbers hollered and gathered around, my guess is that it was the only one of its caliber landed. Over the weekend the crabbers in boats did pretty well inside the bay and out.

    I hear that there's salmon overflowing all of the creeks and rivers (even one caught in a river in Sand Diego! I know! There's a river in San Diego! Who knew?) except for the Sacramento River. It has almost none, I hear. If that is true, then it looks like no salmon season next year. The only salmon that survived, it seems, were the hatchery fish that were escorted past the warm, dry river. Go figure. And there's so many of them that they're going up any old creek looking to spawn, even ones with almost no chance of success. Like in San Diego and up the Sacramento. I guess we'll just fish for halibut next year in a sea full of salmon. Look away, everybody. You did it this year. Just consider it as practice for next year.
