The big tides here now, the bad ones around the full moon, are making crabbing difficult. As the tides have increased the catch has decreased, for most. The ones that work their gear smartly around the tide changes (inside the bay) have done very well, but everyone around mid-tide have had a hard time. Getting out of the bay has been even harder with the big swell. Breakers suck.

    Also, Merry Christmas! Or, happy whatever solstice holiday you prefer. May you all get the fishing gear that you've wished for, and may the fish act the way you dream of them while you use that new gear. Except that I catch one more.
